At San Diego Comic-Con this year, DC Comics and Legendary Comics announced that the Justice League is colliding with Legendary’s Monsterverse in Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong. In partnership with Toho International (the US subsidiary focused on the Godzilla brand), the 7-issue series will launch on October 17, 2023.
“As a comics fan—there’s nothing more fun and exciting than exploring those amazing ‘What If’ situations that come up when fandoms cross streams!” said Jim Lee, DC President, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer. “In this case, it’s a matchup of the world’s greatest Super Heroes in the Justice League who take on not only the King of the Monsters—Godzilla—but the mighty Kong himself! It’s a crossover no-holds-barred battle, decades in the making, and no bona fide comics fan will want to miss it!”
Brian Buccellato, known for his work on The Flash, Injustice, and Detective Comics, will be writing the series.
“I’ve had the good fortune to write most of the legendary DC Super Heroes before—from my time on The Flash, Detective Comics, and Injustice,” said Brian Buccellato. “This time I get to build something way larger-than-life using all the toys in two different sandboxes. It’s such a thrill to tear open both the DC Universe and Legendary’s Monsterverse for this dream project.”
Christian Duce (Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point) and colorist Luis Guerrero will collaborate with Buccellato on the new series.
“Christian Duce and Luis Guerrero are perfect partners in this oversize endeavor,” continued Buccellato. “Christian has been masterful in his navigating [of] the story’s enormous scope in terms of character moments, rampaging monsters, and big superhero action. And Luis’s stunning palette and rendering are an amazing complement to Christian’s art.”
