Marvel is set to explore the thrilling scenario of what would happen if Godzilla rampaged through the Marvel Universe in a new series of one-shot crossover specials. IGN has exclusively revealed the third issue in this series, titled Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1.

This new installment follows the releases of Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1 in March and Godzilla vs. Hulk #1 in April. Set in the '80s, Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1 takes place after the events of 1984's Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars. The story unfolds shortly after Peter Parker's return from Battleworld, where he struggles with the effects of bonding with an alien symbiote costume. As Godzilla wreaks havoc, Spider-Man must harness all his newfound strength to save the city.

The comic is penned by Joe Kelly, who is also set to relaunch The Amazing Spider-Man series. The artwork is brought to life by Nick Bradshaw, known for his work on Wolverine and the X-Men, with cover art contributions from Bradshaw, Lee Garbett, and Greg Land.

Joe Kelly expressed his excitement about the project to IGN, stating, "The second I heard that there was going to be a Godzilla x Spidey crossover set in the ‘80s, I almost leapt across the table to claim it. This book is a chance to go nuts and have a blast with two iconic characters and channel the chaos of the time period that I was actively collecting Spider-Man. Nick Bradshaw really captures the absurdity of the concept and the vibe I was going for, while at the same time giving Godzilla and Spidey (in his perfectly-normal-nothing-weird-here-black suit!) the prestige and gravity they deserve. It's a love letter served with an earth-shattering roar!"

This isn't the first time Godzilla has clashed with Western superheroes; DC recently released Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, with a sequel on the horizon. However, while DC's series featured the MonsterVerse versions of Godzilla and King Kong, Marvel's issues focus on the classic Toho Godzilla.

This announcement follows the reveal of IDW's Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1, an anthology special whose proceeds will support wildfire relief efforts.

Stay tuned for more updates on what's coming up in the comic book world, including what to expect from Marvel and DC in 2025.
