Next month, the new Godzilla #1 from writer Tim Seeley and artist Nikola Čižmešija along with colorist Francesco Segala arrives on July 23rd, which also happens to be the same week as SDCC. The new series marks the start of a new shared universe line of comic book titles from IDW known as the “Kai-Sei Era.” Today is FOC for retailers and the publisher has released a full lettered preview for Godzilla #1.
As IDW editor Jake Williams discussed in our interview, the Kai-Sei Era will feature a new design for the King of the Monsters which he described as “mean” and “animalistic” and featuring a distinct jaw line “almost akin to Thanos.”
Check out the preview pages below
THE KAI-SEI ERA, IDW’S NEW GODZILLA UNIVERSE, STARTS HERE!
In 1954, experimentation with a mysterious energy source known as Kai-Sei awakened Godzilla and a host of immortal kaiju. In the years that followed, humanity has been pummeled by near-constant monster attacks. While Japan has begun to treat the kaiju like natural disasters, understanding that their attempts to fight Godzilla only make the threat worse, the American G-Force is going to fight, fight, fight.
The Americans have just discovered the ultimate tool in the fight against kaiju: a young boy named Jacen with the power of Godzilla. Able to harness the mysterious Kai-Sei in the same vein as the King of the Monsters, this boy will either save the world… or bring about its doom.
Join Tim Seeley (Grayson, Hack/Slash, Local Man) and Nikola Čižmešija (Sword of Azrael, Batman and Robin) on the ride of a lifetime!
