Following the excitement of *Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1* in March and *Godzilla vs. Hulk #1* in April, *Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1* continues the thrilling narrative. Set in the wake of 1984's *Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars*, this story finds Peter Parker grappling with the aftermath of his time on Battleworld and his new alien symbiote costume. When Godzilla comes to town, Spider-Man will need every bit of his enhanced strength to protect the city.

Written by Joe Kelly, who is also steering the upcoming relaunch of *The Amazing Spider-Man* series, and illustrated by Nick Bradshaw, known for his work on *Wolverine and the X-Men*, this issue is set to be a standout. The cover art, a collaboration between Bradshaw, Lee Garbett, and Greg Land, captures the essence of this epic battle.

Joe Kelly expressed his excitement about the project, 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!”

While DC has ventured into similar territory with *Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong*, Marvel's series focuses on the classic Toho Godzilla, differentiating it from DC's MonsterVerse approach. Additionally, the news follows the announcement of IDW's *Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1*, an anthology special aimed at supporting wildfire relief efforts.
