Godzilla: Aftershock

Arvid Nelson and Drew Edward Johnson bring Legendary’s cinematic MonsterVerse to comics in this 2019 one-shot. Set as a direct prequel to the film Godzilla: King of the Monsters, it follows a Monarch team investigating a new Titan threat in the wake of Godzilla’s battle with the MUTOs. Johnson’s detailed linework captures the scale of colossal creatures while Nelson weaves a taut, ecological thriller. It’s a key bridge between the movies, expanding the lore of the MonsterVerse in a single, self-contained issue.
