Godzilla [Kai-Sei Era]: End of the Reign Vol. 1 (IDW Publishing, 2026)

Brand-new Godzilla design! Brand-new talking monsters! Brand-new kaiju-powered humans! Brand-new world! A new Godzilla comics universe begins 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. And 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 Cizmesija (Sword of Azrael, Batman and Robin) on the ride of a lifetime! Collects issues #1-6 of the brand-new ongoing series-and concludes with the most shocking twist Godzilla fans have ever seen. This volume is the entry point to the new Godzilla connected comic book universe shared with Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone and Starship: Godzilla!
