David F. Walker and Georges Jeanty's Godzilla vs. Avengers #1, one of six one-shot comics featuring Marvel heroes facing off against Godzilla in various time periods, is set to release in June.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- This June, GODZILLA faces off against Earth's Mightiest Heroes in GODZILLA VS. AVENGERS by Eisner Award-winning writer David F. Walker (Planet of the Apes) and acclaimed artist George Jeanty (Star Wars: Mace Windu), the fifth in a series of six comic book one-shots pitting the King of the Monsters against Marvel's most iconic super heroes!



Taking place across various eras of both Marvel Comics AND Godzilla storytelling, the highly anticipated Godzilla Vs. one-shots kick off next week in GODZILLA VS. FANTASTIC FOUR #1 by Ryan North and John Romita Jr. Following this Silver Age bout with Marvel's First Family, Godzilla will have a '70s-inspired slugfest with the strongest there is in GODZILLA VS. HULK #1 by Gerry Duggan and Giuseppe Camuncoli, a pulse-pounding encounter with a black suited Spidey in GODZILLA VS. SPIDER-MAN #1 by Joe Kelly and Nick Bradshaw, and a throwdown with Marvel's Merry Mutants during their '90s heyday in GODZILLA VS. X-MEN #1 by Fabian Nicieza and Emilio Laiso. Then, Godzilla marches into the 21st century to take on Brian Michael Bendis' groundbreaking New Avengers lineup in GODZILLA VS. AVENGERS #1!

ROUND FIVE: VS. THE NEW AVENGERS!

The original New Avengers return to face an unstoppable enemy – GODZILLA! In the aftermath of a massive battle between Godzilla, Fin Fang Foom, the Avengers and Jet Jaguar, S.H.I.E.L.D. tries to make sense of what went down – but everyone's telling a different story! What really happened during that fateful clash? Find out when Earth's Mightiest Heroes take on Earth's Mightiest Kaiju!

"As a child, I was raised on Godzilla movies, and as an adult, the New Avengers was a beautiful reminder of why I love comics," Walker shared. "The lineup of iconic characters in the New Avengers was a beautiful mix of quirky personalities and big adventures that kept me coming back every month. Bringing Godzilla and the New Avengers together for an epic showdown has allowed me to work with characters I have loved for a long time, in a way that I hope is as entertaining for fans to read as it was for me to write."

"There are few things in life that feel better then when you get to recreate your childhood passions as a 'serious' adult," Jeanty shared. "Drawing this one-shot allowed me to package two things I loved in my youth, Godzilla and the Avengers, and put it in a comic book! It has been a joy drawing these pages. I hope everyone who picks up this book will see all the love that went into to it."
