Godzilla

Across thirteen issues from 2012 to 2013, IDW’s Godzilla series brought the King of the Monsters to comics with a propulsive, modern sensibility. Written primarily by Duane Swierczynski and illustrated by Simon Gane and Dave Wachter, the run pitted Godzilla against a classic roster of Toho foes—Kumonga, Anguirus, Rodan, Battra, and Mothra—in sprawling, city-leveling battles. This series stands as a key entry in IDW’s Godzilla line, capturing the kaiju’s destructive grandeur while building a tense, human-scale story around the chaos.
