The King of the Monsters isn’t done with the Marvel Universe just yet. Marvel and Toho International announced at New York Comic Con this week that Godzilla: Infinity Roar, a new five-issue cosmic crossover, will launch in February of next year.
The series reunites writer Gerry Duggan and artist Javier Garrón, the creative team behind Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe, and will also feature art by Ig Guara.
According to Marvel, Infinity Roar picks up after the events of Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe, which concludes in November. In the new series, Earth’s heroes have succeeded in exiling Godzilla into space — but that victory may prove short-lived. Out among the stars, Godzilla encounters Knull, the god of the symbiotes, forming an unholy alliance between the King of the Monsters and the King in Black.
That connection was first teased earlier this year in Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1, and now it explodes into a full-scale cosmic catastrophe. The story promises to touch every corner of Marvel’s galactic landscape, from the Shi’ar Empire and Kree-Skrull Alliance to the Galactic Empire of Wakanda. (Assuming all these things still exist after Imperial).
“Most movie stars are a giant pain in the ass, but not Godzilla, who has been a privilege and a joy to collaborate with, and the fun will continue in outer space,” Duggan said. “The ideas that are in the mix now are going to make this the biggest, craziest and most dangerous Godzilla crossover ever. The Marvel Universe has never been in more peril. See you in space.”
Godzilla: Infinity Roar #1 features a main cover by Ken Lashley, with variant covers by Josemaria Casanovas and David Marquez.
Look for the first issue to arrive in comic shops on Feb. 2.
