Following the releases of *Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1* in March and *Godzilla vs. Hulk #1* in April, *Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1* continues this epic saga. This latest installment is set in an earlier decade, specifically post-1984's *Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars*. The story unfolds shortly after Peter Parker's return from Battleworld, as he deals with the consequences of bonding with an alien symbiote costume. When Godzilla comes crashing into the city, Spider-Man will need all his newfound strength to protect his home.

The creative team behind *Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1* includes writer Joe Kelly, who is also set to lead the upcoming relaunch of *The Amazing Spider-Man* series. The artwork is brought to life by Nick Bradshaw, known for his work on *Wolverine and the X-Men*. The cover art is a collaboration between Bradshaw, Lee Garbett, and Greg Land.

Joe Kelly shared his enthusiasm with IGN: "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 features the MonsterVerse versions of Godzilla and King Kong, Marvel's issues focus on the classic Toho Godzilla.

This announcement follows the recent reveal of IDW's *Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1*, an anthology special with proceeds going to a wildfire relief charity.
