The King of the Monsters is dead, long live the King of the Monsters.
2026 starts with a bang on January 7th in writer Tim Seeley and artist Nikola Čižmešija’s GODZILLA #6. This key issue of the blockbuster series will feature the gripping death of the iconic kaiju, and to celebrate the massive moment, comic book icon Dan Jurgens (The Death of Superman) has crafted a jaw-dropping “Death of” homage cover. As for how the pop culture icon falls, fans will have to read the issue themselves for the full story!
In true comic book fashion, this will not be the end of the beloved monster. In February’s GODZILLA #7 from writer Tim Seeley and artist Hendry Prasetya, fans will witness the mysterious return of Godzilla… freed from the constraints of its physical body and unleashed as its most powerful form ever: Kai-Sei Energy Godzilla!
“Comics should be insane. And personally, I can’t think of a more insane way to end arc 1 of the first ongoing Godzilla series in over a decade than KILLING GODZILLA,” commented editor Jake Williams. “For anyone waiting to check out this series – now’s the time to jump on. We’re delivering a Godzilla unlike any other, and finally making good on our promise to showcase ‘a boy with the power of Godzilla.’”
“Our goal is always to expand and reimagine the Godzilla mythology in bold and meaningful ways,” said Kristin Parcell, General Manager of Toho International. “The IDW comics line exemplifies that vision, offering stories that challenge expectations, captivate fans, and continue to evolve the legacy of the King of the Monsters.”
Fans have until November 24, 2025 to pre-order a copy of the can’t-miss GODZILLA #6, featuring the death of Godzilla, at their local comic shop.
