DC and Legendary unite for JUSTICE LEAGUE vs. GODZILLA vs. KONG comic book crossover [SDCC]

DC and Legendary Comics are kicking off the first day of San Diego Comic-Con 2023 in style with a monstrous announcement: this October, the heroes of DC will collide with Legendary’s Monsterverse in Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, a seven-part series from writer Brian Buccellato, artist Christian Duce and colorist Luis Guerrero.

Speaking about the announcement, DC President, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee said “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 . “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!”

What starts as a routine clash between the Justice League and the Legion of Doom takes a dangerous turn when the wall between worlds is breached…with Godzilla, Kong, and the Monsterverse emerging on DC’s Earth! What ensues will be a brawl of unprecedented scale and destruction!

The epic crossover begins when Clark Kent, enjoying a night off with Lois Lane, is interrupted when the entire city shudders under the weight of the monstrous Godzilla, who emerges from the bay.

Buccellato added “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. 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 and Luis Guerrero are perfect partners in this oversize endeavor,” continued Buccellato. “Christian has been masterful in his navigating 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.”

Featuring a main cover by Drew Johnson and variants by Jim Lee and Scott Williams; Rafael Albuquerque; Francesco Mattina; and Dan Mora and Alan Quah, JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. GODZILLA VS. KONG #1 hits comic shop shelves and digital platforms on the 17th of October 2023.
