The crossover event has been building toward one thing: larger-than-life clashes between the DC heroes and the Monsterverse titans. After setup-heavy issues juggling character arcs and worldbuilding, this chapter dials in hard on the showdown fans have been waiting for: Superman vs. Godzilla round two, while still finding space for the rest of the League to tackle their own monster-sized problems.
Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2 #4 wastes no time throwing us back into the chaos. While one squad of heroes, including Hawkgirl, Cyborg, Green Lantern, Mr. Terrific, Green Arrow, and Aquaman, are busy wrangling sea serpents that look straight out of a Monsterverse remix, the real headline is happening elsewhere. Superman bursts out of Hollow Earth right into Godzilla’s territory, setting the stage for a clash that feels less like another superhero fight and more like a pop culture earthquake.
The issue doesn’t just tease this matchup; it locks in, dedicating nearly the whole book to making sure the battle feels earned, cinematic, and thunderously satisfying. Batman hints at some kind of Kryptonian power dampening on this world, forcing Superman (and later Supergirl) to rethink how they can handle a beast like Godzilla. Meanwhile, the rest of the League is scrambling for answers, combing through Lex Luthor’s tech for any advantage. But in the moment, everything else fades. What we’re really watching is a Kryptonian titan going head-to-head with the King of the Monsters.
Reading this issue feels like grabbing front-row seats to the biggest main event in comics right now. Brian Buccellato drops most of the side plots and character fluff this time and lets the action breathe. And honestly? It’s the right call. This is the fight everyone bought their ticket for, and it lands.
What surprised me most, though, was how the creative team kept it fresh. Instead of giving Godzilla another power-up or evolving him into some new form (the usual route when he faces superheroes), Buccellato flips the script as Superman himself gets pushed to new heights. Without spoiling too much, let’s just say “gigantic Kryptonian” becomes a thing, and it’s one of those jaw-dropping comic book moments you can’t help but grin at.
Artist Christian Duce and colorist Luis Guerrero absolutely nail the visuals. Every punch, tail swipe, and heat vision blast feels heavy, like you can almost hear it echoing. One panel frames Superman and Godzilla with the sun blazing behind them, and the colors are so vivid it’s like staring at the real thing. It’s big, it’s loud, it’s operatic, and yet it stays grounded enough not to feel ridiculous. The art team also sprinkles in clever details, scenes you would want blown up into posters, making it hard not to linger on every page.
The issue also manages to keep building anticipation for what’s next. As if Superman vs. Godzilla wasn’t enough, Buccellato teases more creatures arriving on the horizon. It’s the comic book version of a wrestling match where every time you think you have seen the biggest “spot,” they somehow top it with an even crazier one.
The biggest strength of this issue is its focus. Prior entries tried balancing worldbuilding, side missions, and multiple team dynamics, but #4 throws all that aside for one clear mission: deliver on Superman vs. Godzilla. It works, and it works big. Fans of either character or just anyone who likes seeing their childhood icons collide get exactly what they came for.
That said, some readers might miss the deeper character arcs or layered storytelling from earlier chapters. This issue is light on nuance; it’s almost wall-to-wall action. Depending on what you are looking for, that’s either a feature or a flaw. Personally, I didn’t mind. Sometimes comics are about letting two giants smash into each other until the page practically shakes, and this one knows it.
Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2 #4 delivers the blockbuster fight that’s been simmering since the start of this crossover. With stunning art, a clever twist on the Superman vs. Godzilla matchup, and just enough setup for what’s next, it’s a crowd-pleaser that doesn’t pretend to be anything else.
