From Charles Barkley to the Justice League, Godzilla has let loose his atomic flames in many comic books over the years. But for his next crossover, the King of the Monsters is headed to Moebius for a showdown with none other than Sonic the Hedgehog. GameSpot can exclusively reveal the first look at Sonic the Hedgehog X Godzilla, a new five-issue mini-series pitting Sega’s speedster against the apex titan. The images below also tease the arrival of the ultimate lifeform, Shadow the Hedgehog, who’ll appear from the second issue onwards.
“When the King of the Monsters and other iconic kaiju mysteriously arrive in the Blue Blur’s world, the brilliant and evil Dr. Eggman will try to harness the power of the kaiju for his own nefarious goals. Only Sonic and his amazing allies–including Amy, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow–will be able to stand in the villain’s way and try to send the giant monsters back to their own world,” the official synopsis for the series reads.
Written by Nick Marino, illustrated by Jack Lawrence, and colored by Reggie Graham, Sonic the Hedgehog X Godzilla will also see several other kaiju appear, including icons like Mothra and MechaGodzilla. The first issue doesn’t waste any time in revealing the titans, as an ordinary day thwarting Dr. Eggman’s latest scheme is quickly upended by the arrival of the skyscraper-sized threats.
