The ‘Horror of Godzilla’ arrives in July

IDW is taking the King of the Monsters back to where it all began.

IDW Publishing will unleash The Horror of Godzilla this summer, a new series set in 1954 Japan that revisits humanity’s first catastrophic encounter with the King of the Monsters.

The less spectacle, more dread monster story comes from co-writers Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan, who have worked on Marvel Zombies: Red Band and Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone, along with Tristan Jones, the acclaimed artist of Alien: Defiance and other horror titles. They’re diving deep into the terror behind Godzilla’s initial onslaught and the consequences of exposure to the creature’s mysterious “Kai-Sei” energy.

“Godzilla’s been such a huge part of my life as far back as I can remember, and as someone that had Godzilla 1985 on near permanent loan from our local video store, and hounding my local bootlegger every day on the walk home from high school for the original Japanese cut, I’m genuinely hard-pressed to think of anything I’ve been this excited about in my career,” Jones said. “As a storyteller that’s become something of a fixture in the horror genre, it’s a genuine honor and a thrill to work with Griffin and Ethan (and our incredible editor Jake) on a Godzilla story that leans so hard into my favorite visuals and even harder into things I always wished the films would. It’s a huge departure from what I’ve been known for so far and everyone’s given me incredible space to both try new things, and bring visuals to comics I’d never had a proper chance to before.”
