To give readers a better idea of ​​what’s to come in this new Godzilla universe, IDW editor-in-chief Jake Williams said the following: “We challenged ourselves to build a world around Godzilla that’s as interesting as the King of the Monsters himself,” Williams said, “A new continuity filled to the brim with super-powered humans, kaiju half-breeds, stories across Earth and space, and a new vision of Godzilla himself, all in service of one goal: telling Godzilla stories that could only exist on the pages of a comic book.

The reasoning behind this new series, as Williams explains, is to “introduce readers to new characters, introduce a new Kaiju, and serve as a launching point for our new Godzilla continuity.”
