Earlier this year, Godzilla clashed with Marvel heroes, including the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, with many of those encounters culminating in uneasy alliances against shared threats. This time, though, the King of the Monsters is clearly the villain. As a result, the tension is greater, and both Marvel and Toho have raised the stakes accordingly.
Godzilla has awakened from dormancy in a fury, unleashing devastation across the Marvel Universe. As Earth’s Mightiest Heroes unite to stop the monstrous threat, their efforts prove futile against the Bringer of Destruction. Desperate, they turn to unlikely allies, including some of Earth’s most notorious villains, in a last-ditch attempt to halt Godzilla’s rampage. But even combined forces may not be enough as the creature tears through dimensions, including the Dark Dimension itself. Meanwhile, a mysterious link to Vibranium raises alarming questions for Wakanda. In the face of this unstoppable force, the entire Marvel Universe must rally like never before. This is just the beginning chapter of an epic battle for Earth’s survival.
