\u201cAs a comics fan\u2014there\u2019s nothing more fun and exciting than exploring those amazing \u2018What If\u2019 situations that come up when fandoms cross streams!\u201d said Jim Lee, DC President, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer. \u201cIn this case, it\u2019s a matchup of the world\u2019s greatest Super Heroes in the Justice League who take on not only<\/em> the King of the Monsters\u2014Godzilla\u2014but the mighty Kong himself! It\u2019s a crossover no-holds-barred battle, decades in the making, and no bona fide comics fan will want to miss it!\u201d

\u201cThere have been a couple of classic crossovers since I started reading comics: Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man<\/em>, The Uncanny X-Men and the New Teen <\/em>Titans\u2014and we hope Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kon<\/em>g joins that list of unforgettable meetings,\u201d said Robert Napton, SVP & Publisher, Legendary Comics. \u201cI am grateful to everyone at DC, Legendary Entertainment, and Toho International for the passionate support we received to have these worlds collide!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


What starts as a routine clash between the Justice League and the Legion of Doom takes a dangerous turn when the wall between worlds is breached\u2026with Godzilla, Kong, and the Monsterverse emerging on DC\u2019s Earth! What ensues will be a brawl of unprecedented scale and destruction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had the good fortune to write most of the legendary DC Super Heroes before\u2014from my time on The Flash<\/em>, Detective Comics<\/em>, and Injustice<\/em>,\u201d said Brian Buccellato. \u201cThis time I get to build something way<\/em> larger-than-life using all the toys in two<\/em> different sandboxes. It\u2019s such a thrill to tear open both the DC Universe and Legendary\u2019s Monsterverse for this dream project.\u201d

The epic crossover begins when Clark Kent, enjoying a night off with Lois Lane, is interrupted when the entire city shudders under the weight of the monstrous Godzilla, who emerges from the bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChristian Duce and Luis Guerrero are perfect partners in this oversize endeavor,\u201d continued Buccellato. \u201cChristian has been masterful in his navigating the story\u2019s enormous scope in terms of character moments, rampaging monsters, and big superhero action. And Luis\u2019s stunning palette and rendering are an amazing complement to Christian\u2019s art.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
