Superman artist Dan Jurgens, who famously drew the story that saw Clark Kent fall to the fists of Doomsday, will be creating the cover for the sixth issue of IDW Publishing’s Godzilla comic series. On the official Godzilla website, IDW describes the upcoming event, “The story of Godzilla’s shocking downfall will unfold on January 7, 2026, when writer Tim Seeley and artist Nikola Čižmešija bring their first major arc to a close in IDW Publishing’s Godzilla #6. The issue promises a dramatic turning point for the series, depicting the fall of the King of the Monsters in a way that fans have never seen before. To commemorate the event, artist Dan Jurgens has created a tribute cover that echoes one of comics’ most famous finales.”
While the lizard king might be dying in a traditional sense, IDW is already hinting at its resurrection. Described as the “Kai-Sei Energy Godzilla,” it seems that the kaiju’s death is leaving the door open for Godzilla to receive an upgrade. Godzilla is set to become a “transcendent being of pure cosmic force,” giving the already powerful giant monster a power boost that might make the beast even more unstoppable.
