Following a Silver Age bout with Marvel’s First Family, an Earth-trembling ‘70s slugfest with the strongest there is, and a pulse-pounding encounter with a Black suited wallcrawler, Godzilla catches the attention of mutantkind in GODZILLA VS. X-MEN #1!
Arriving in May, GODZILLA VS. X-MEN takes place during the X-Men’s ‘90s heyday and will be written by one of that era’s key creators, Fabian Nicieza, known for his influential runs of X-Men and X-Force. Joined by acclaimed artist Emilio Laiso, Nicieza returns to a time when everyone wanted a piece of Marvel’s merry mutants—even Godzilla
In a Marvel Press release, said Nicieza:
“If you’d asked ten-year-old Fabian what he’d do for the chance to write Godzilla, he would have breathed fire and burned anyone up for the job to an uncomfortable crisp,” “Combine Godzilla with a ‘vs.’ and an ‘X-Men,’ well, let’s just say I love the smell of burning writer in the morning. It smells like victory!”
