•According to a report by Jesse Schedeen for IGN, IDW Publishing will launch its first major crossover event in the Kai-Sei Universe line with Godzilla Versus Everything, a four-issue miniseries arriving in March 2027.
The crossover sees Godzilla achieve his newest and most powerful form, prompting the casts of the flagship Godzilla comic, The Deadzone, Starship Godzilla, and The Horror of Godzilla to band together to save humanity.
“When I started work with editor Jake Williams and IDW on GODZILLA, the big pitch was this was going to play like a universe of titles, but also as a universe of characters,” writer Cullen Seeley said in a statement. “From the beginning, the goal was they’d all come together at some point as friends and/or enemies in a proper comic universe event title. Well, we’re here, and all the meticulous plotting of our creative crew leads to a wild, weird, terrifying crossover comic that puts Godzilla, the kaiju and our cast through every epic story beat you’ve ever wanted.”
Godzilla Versus Everything #1 will debut in March 2027. Fans can look forward to a lead-in to the crossover in March’s Godzilla #17, which will be the final issue of the series.
The buildup begins this month in Starship Godzilla: Invasion X #1, Godzilla: Revenge of the Deadzone #1, and Godzilla #13. All of these comics can be preordered at your local comic shop.
The crossover is IDW’s first major event since launching the ambitious Kai-Sei line in 2025, which establishes a shared universe across its Godzilla titles.
This isn’t the only big news out of IDW. IGN also revealed that the publisher is kicking off “The Road to Sonic #100” in its ongoing Sonic the Hedgehog series. And at NYCC, IDW revealed that it has tapped Grant Morrison to write a new James Bond comic.
IDW’s Godzilla line includes multiple interconnected titles operating within the Kai-Sei Universe, with this crossover marking the first time those series will converge in a single event.
