Starship Godzilla is taking readers to space as the Kai-Zei shared universe at IDW Publishing will introduce a brand-new Mechagodzilla.
In Starship Godzilla #1 by Chris Gooch, Oliver Ono, and Brian Kolek, a galaxy-spanning fight sees a team of humans boarding the Starship Godzilla. However, they aren't the only ones using a cosmic Kaiju to their full advantage.
Starship Godzilla #1 features main cover art by Oliver Ono, with variants coming from Vitor Caffagi, and a blank variant; while Bob Eggleton draws a 1:25 variant. Check out Cafaggi’s cover art with the text solicit below.
The Kai-Sei era goes to space inside a brand-new Mechagodzilla!
You didn’t think kaiju were only on Earth, did you? In the fight for galactic supremacy, no weapon is more powerful than a kaiju... and no team is better equipped to capture and transport these titanic monsters than the crew of Starship Godzilla!
This ragtag group flies through space in Mechagodzilla and takes high-risk, high-reward missions across the galaxy. A kaiju heading toward your planet? Give them a call. A colossal space pest clogging up your trade route? They’ll get rid of it. A galactic civil war utilizing kaiju on both sides? They’ll... uh... do their best to stay out of it. But where there’s a galactic war, there’s a galactic conspiracy, and this may be one fight our crew doesn’t land on the same side of.
A brand-new kaiju space epic starts here in Chris Gooch (In Utero, Under-Earth) and Oliver Ono’s (Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp) Starship Godzilla!
Starship Godzilla #1 arrives at CaptCan Comics on October 1st, 2025. Pre-order the issue now to ensure you don’t miss out.
