IDW Publishing announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla at San Diego Comic-Con. Along with revealing the creative team of writer Tim Seeley and artist Fero Pe, we also got a slew of covers to hype up the event. Seeley is also writing the main Godzilla series, while Fero Pe illustrated TMNT X Stranger Things back in 2023. The series will reveal how the Foot Clan was originally formed to defend Japan from kaiju. Shredder, the leader of the Foot Clan, may be behind Godzilla’s emergence in order to build a kaiju army.
“There are maybe two or three other ideas in the entire cultural landscape that are as instantly iconic, as perfect in their clarity and conception, as the King of the Monsters and the heroes in a half-shell,” said editor Jake Williams. “Mashing them up has been a complete and utter joy. These characters are so perfectly realized that working on this comic feels like bearing witness to a natural encounter between living and breathing beings.”
Both the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Godzilla are used to big crossovers. The TMNT has teamed up and fought the likes of Batman, the Power Rangers, and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Meanwhile, Godzilla has fought the Justice League and is currently smashing the Marvel Universe in Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe.
