‘Godzilla vs. Thor’ #1 Thunders Into Comic Shops This July: Featuring 5 Covers

Comic fans, get ready for something big. On July 2, a wild showdown hits the shelves with ‘Godzilla vs. Thor’ #1. This isn’t just any crossover—it’s the final piece of the Godzilla vs. Marvel series, wrapping up a run that’s already pitted the King of the Monsters against Fantastic Four, Hulk, Spider-Man, X-Men, and Avengers.

This time, Thor, the God of Thunder, steps up to face a Godzilla powered up by The Hand. They’ve turned the iconic beast into something even fiercer, calling it ‘The Beast.’ Picture this—massive claws, white eyes glowing, and a hammer-wielding god trying to protect Midgard from total chaos. It’s going to be loud, and it’s going to be messy.

The creative team behind this is no joke. Jason Aaron, who’s been writing Thor for years, teams up with artist Aaron Kuder, known for his work on ‘Daredevil.’ They’re bringing back the Godzilla from the 2001 film ‘Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack’—or GMK for short.

That version is brutal, relentless, and one of the toughest takes on the Godzilla ever. Aaron’s calling it a battle that could top some of his wildest Thor stories, and with Kuder’s art, I’m betting it’ll look as epic as it sounds.

We’ve got some cool covers to check out too. Kuder’s main one sets the tone, but there’s also a foil variant by Mark Bagley, a monster-themed one by Gavin Guidry, a homage piece by Nick Bradshaw, and a standout from Walter Simonson. Each one’s got its own vibe, and they’re all hitting shops on the same day—July 2.

Aaron’s got a personal stake in this. He’s a huge Godzilla fan, with kaiju toys crowding his office right next to Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir. Pairing these two icons was a no-brainer for him, and he’s promising a fight that’ll shake the pages. The GMK Godzilla isn’t here to mess around—it’s mean, powerful, and ready to throw down.

If you’ve followed the Godzilla vs. Marvel run, this is the big finish. If you’re new, it’s still a perfect jump-in point. A giant lizard versus a thunder god—what’s not to love? Mark your calendars, because this one’s going to roar into comic shops soon. Can you say ‘GMK’? I sure can, and I’m ready for it.
