Marvel Comics has announced a new limited comic book series Godzilla vs. Hulk, and it might just answer the 63-year-old debate… who would win in a battle between Godzilla and Hulk?
Godzilla vs. Hulk #1 is written by Gerry Duggan (West Coast Avengers, Deadpool), with cover and interior art by Giuseppe Camuncoli (Venom War: Deadpool, Predator) and the story will also include General Ross and his Thunderbolts.
The description for the story reads: “GENERAL ROSS has no tolerance for monsters in any form. With his anti-kaiju taskforce THE THUNDERBOLTS he’s taken down or imprisoned the biggest and baddest monsters on the planet: Fin Fang Foom, Mothra, Kumonga, even the Hulk.
“Now all that’s left is his biggest hunt of all…GODZILLA. But the Thunderbolts’ efforts to bring their last monster to heel may just result in the most destructive battle royale to ever rock the earth. It’s time to figure out who’s really the strongest there is!”
Duggan said in a statement: “I grew up loving Godzilla movies and Marvel Comics, and it’s a thrill to be able to collaborate with Giuseppe Camuncoli on the absolute craziest comic I think I’ve ever been a part of, and I worked on over a hundred issues of Deadpool and once wrote a comic about Conan killing a zombie with a call girl’s leg. I won’t tell you who wins – the Hulk or Godzilla – but either way, the fans are going to be thrilled.”
Camuncoli added: “When Marvel called with this offer, I was quite thrilled. It felt very cool to draw this titan, although the real challenge was to make the iconic ‘70s version look extra scary and dangerous.
“Thanks to Gerry Duggan’s blazing script, it was quite easy – lots and lots of super crazy scenes to illustrate, I knew this was going to be so much fun. Two of the most powerful and relentless characters and forces in the pop culture world face to face for the first time… I couldn’t resist to be the one to draw that!”
I’ve included cover art for Godzilla vs. Hulk #1 created by Camuncoli, Nick Bradshaw, and Lee Garbett. The comic will drop in comic shops and online on April 16 from Marvel Comics, following Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1 in March.
