Having launched the Kai-Sei Era with Godzilla #1 [read our review here] last month, IDW Publishing continues its shared universe on Wednesday with the release of Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone #1; check out the official preview below…
What’s going on inside the Deadzone?! Find out in the second book of the KAI-SEI ERA, IDW’s new connected Godzilla universe!
Inside the new IDW Godzilla universe, there exists a mystery larger than any other… what is the Deadzone? Inhabitants of this new world know the Deadzone to be a walled-off portion of the Pacific Northwest, sequestered after the most disastrous Godzilla attack the country has ever faced. The government would have its citizens believe that nothing is still alive inside the Deadzone… but do you believe that?
There are stories of a man. Or rather… a half kaiju, half man… who travels freely throughout the Deadzone. Some say he can even kill a kaiju. Some say… he’s not the only of his kind.
Journey into this mysterious new world in Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone with the Eisner-nominated writing duo Griffin Sheridan and Ethan S. Parker (Kill Your Darlings) and fan-favorite artist Pablo Tunica (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sea Serpent’s Heir).
Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone #1 is out on Wednesday, August 6th 2025.
