      A chilling depiction of Godzilla’s inaugural attack! Tokyo, 1954. As the nation begins to envision its postwar future, two scientists conduct an experiment in the Pacific Ocean. It aims to alter everything... and it will. Come, reader, and witness the astounding terror of the King of the Monsters. There are no heroes. There are no survivors. Only Godzilla's fury remains.

      This standalone four-issue miniseries acts as a prequel to the Kai-Sei Era, while also appealing to fans of Godzilla: Minus One, Shin Godzilla, and the original Godzilla (1954). Penned by up-and-coming authors Griffin Sheridan and Ethan S. Parker (Marvel Zombies, Kill Your Darlings) and illustrated by legendary horror artist Tristan Jones (Event Horizon, Aliens), this comic offers an immersive experience of the kaiju’s first attack. As readers will soon find out, they’ve never encountered a Godzilla assault like this before…

      The Horror of Godzilla #1 will be released on Wednesday, July 29th, 2026.
