Godzilla Conquers the Multiverse #5 Closes the Kaiju Trilogy With a Shocking Fate for the King

Marvel and Toho International wrap their kaiju-crossover trilogy this week, and writer Gerry Duggan isn't pulling punches on the way out. Godzilla Conquers the Multiverse #5, with art by Javier Garron, closes out a story that began with Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe and continued through Godzilla: Infinity Roar, and the finale throws just about everyone left standing into the blender.

Knull's alliance with Godzilla has swallowed Earth-616 whole by this point, leaving Doctor Doom's Doomstadt as one of the last functional strongholds. Doom tears across dimensions hunting a kaiju powerful enough to turn the tide, dragging Spider-Man, Kang, Emma Frost, Ghost Rider, the Punisher, and Man-Thing into a last stand against Mecha Fiends, a multiversal menagerie of giant monsters, and a Red Skull decked out in Adamantium armor for good measure. A rematch between Godzilla and King Ghidorah anchors the issue, with Mothra, Odin, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men all making appearances before the dust settles.

True to the "conquers the multiverse" framing, the solicits promise a genuinely shocking turn for Godzilla himself by the last page, with an unlikely ally factoring into how the whole thing shakes out. David Marquez and Andrew Dalhouse provide the standard cover, while Phil Noto's "Heisei vs. Marvel" variant gives the Showa-era faithful something to chase. Godzilla Conquers the Multiverse #5 is on sale now.
