Marvel Comics is on a tear, reprinting classics like ROM, and today they’ve announced Godzilla is getting the omnibus treatment. The comics, which started in 1977, are getting a reprint in collaboration with Toho International, the Japanese studio’s U.S.-based subsidiary that has brought global sensation Godzilla to life.
Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus is set for release in October 2024, the series is crafted by Doug Moench, known for his definitive run of Master of Kung Fu and co-creating Moon Knight, and Herb Trimpe, known for his seminal work on Incredible Hulk and Iron Man. The omnibus collects the 24 issues, remastered and presented in color for the first time.
So what’s Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus about?
Godzilla rises from the depths in the United States — and the Marvel Universe! See the towering scourge of Tokyo march across America and battle some of the best and brightest the House of Ideas had to offer, including the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the Champions, Nick Fury and the mechanized monster fighter, Red Ronin! Godzilla goes west, travels through time to battle Devil Dinosaur, and hosts one of Spider-Man’s most gratuitous guest-shots ever — but when Godzilla is shrunk down to miniature size, the terrible titan proves it can still be a tiny terror! Plus: Aliens, mutants, mad scientists and epic kaiju clashes with Godzilla’s fellow towering titans — including Batragon and Yetrigar!
The omnibus will feature covers by Junggeun Yoon and two direct market covers by Trimpe.
