The Next GODZILLA Ongoing Launches in June and it Looks Awesome

The current GODZILLA Ongoing from the team of Duane Swierczynski and Sinmon Gane is coming to a close. Whether or not it has been a great read it’s up to the reader, but there’s no denying that the final arc has been nothing short of epic. But, it’s coming to an end in just two issues. Will Godzilla defeat his clone from space? Will Monster X transformer into Keizer Ghidorah and wipe the floor with everyone? We’ll know soon enough. But the question became…what would come next? Now we finally know, straight from IDW themselves. It will be called GODZILLA: RULERS OF EARTH. The creative team? Chris Mowry who (who wrote the fan favorite Godzilla Legends #4) and Matt Frank.

“While we had a lot of fun with the Godzilla: Legends series, they were just single issues,” said Mowry. “What we’re doing with this series is giving readers that same focus on monsters that Legends had, while telling stories set in IDW’s established Godzilla universe. Readers can look forward to the return of some of our human cast and the introduction of a number of new ones, but the monster roster is larger than it has ever been, using nearly all of Toho’s film creations to give readers battles never before seen. Many of these monsters having never appeared in the comic book/manga medium, so who better to change that but monster artist extraordinaire, Matt Frank?”

Check out what series editor Bobby Curnow had to say.

“Whether it be Moguera, Biollante, or Gorosaurus, every Toho fanatic has their own favorite monster,” said series Editor Bobby Curnow. “Now it’s time to see these kaiju in action, and RULERS OF EARTH won’t fail to deliver the goods. It’s been a blast to watch Chris and Matt bring their passion to the page.”

That’s right folks, Gorosaurus is coming. And do you see Varan in the wraparound cover? Rulers of Earth looks to be the new definitive Godzilla Ongoing. Chris Mowry has proven to be a fan of the franchise, and everyone loves Matt Frank’s work. I also have a feeling this series will bring in some new readers. The Big G isn’t going away from the comic world anytime soon.
