IDW Sets 'Death of Godzilla' in Godzilla #6 for January 7

The publisher says the death caps the Kai-Sei Era’s first arc with Toho’s sign-off.

Overview

  • Writer Tim Seeley and artist Nikola Čižmešija lead the issue that will depict Godzilla’s demise, with plot specifics kept under wraps.
  • Dan Jurgens provides a 'Death of' homage variant referencing his iconic Superman #75 cover, inked by Brett Breeding.
  • IDW confirms a follow-up in February’s Godzilla #7 featuring a transformed 'Kai-Sei Energy Godzilla' by Seeley and artist Hendry Prasetya.
  • Toho International’s Aaron John Gregory cites trust in the creative team for allowing the character to be killed six issues into the series.
  • Editors frame the event as the conclusion of arc one in IDW’s first ongoing Godzilla series in over a decade, distinct from Marvel’s separate crossover stories.
