The Justice League is getting a crossover many readers have been waiting years to see in action as the greatest heroes in the DC Universe will take on King Kong and Godzilla in a new miniseries, Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, that will be a high-octane affair.
Legendary’s Monsterverse is teaming up with DC for the new book from Brian Buccellato and Christian Dulce. The book is following in the footsteps of some of the earliest comic crossovers involving Godzilla, with Marvel previously releasing a Godzilla: King of Monsters series in the late 1970s that saw the Kaiju battle and fight alongside several characters from the Marvel Universe, including the Devil Dinosaur, the Fantastic Four, and SHIELD. Now, DC Comics is doing their own crossover, which will see Godzilla and Kong arrive in Metropolis during a fight between the Justice League and Legion of Doom. For fans of the Monsterverse and DC Universe, expect cameos from some fan-favorite Kaijus, as the crossover isn’t holding back when combining the two worlds.
For the first issue, DC is rolling out the red carpet when it comes to artists doing covers for the project. Dulce draws the main cover which features a sprawling fight between the monsters and heroes. Jim Lee draws Batman in a giant Godzilla-buster armor alongside his fellow heroes as they take on the Kaiju - which is also available as a 1:100 black and white variant. Francesco Mattina draws an epic cover where the Justice League, including Doctor Fate, fight together against Godzilla. Additionally, there will be a foil cover for Rafael Albuquerque, a 1:25 variant from Dan Mora, and a 1:50 variant from Alan Quah. Incentives will be available for purchase at CaptCan Comics upon release!
The cataclysmic crossover event of the year is here as the DC Universe clashes with Legendary’s Monsterverse in Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong. Clark Kent is enjoying a night off with a very important dinner planned with his girlfriend, Lois Lane, when the entire city shudders under the weight of the monstrous Godzilla, who emerges from the bay! What started as a routine clash between the Justice League and the Legion of Doom takes a dangerous turn when the wall between worlds is breached…with Godzilla, Kong, and the Monsterverse emerging on DC’s Earth! What ensues will be a brawl of unprecedented scale and destruction from acclaimed writer Brian Buccellato (INJUSTICE) and bestselling artist Christian Duce (BATMAN/FORTNITE: ZERO POINT)!
Hopefully, Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong will start the trend of more crossovers between different publishers and universes. The new comic looks like it will be an exhilarating adventure where powerful forces will collide in an epic story. Don’t forget to order a copy of issue one, which arrives at CaptCan Comics on October 17th, 2023. Issues for the miniseries are available to pre-order on the website!
