Here's the closest Godzilla has ever come to being in the Pokémon Trading Card Game: Sukesha Ray and Franck Uzan's Playing Card Variant Cover for Godzilla #3 (2025).

We got covers for Horror

Bulbous head on the last cover but the others look solid

As I am excited about the upcoming Kaisei era, I’m going to share all the covers I could find off of Wikizilla.

Here are the four main covers.

Here is the CaptCan Comics retail exclusive

Here is the Collector’s Paradise retail exclusive

Here is the East Coast Comics retail exclusive, both the English Godzilla title and the Japanese one

Here are the two examples of the classic “Godzilla is destroying the comic store” retail covers

Do you have a personal favorite?

For those who pre-ordered, which cover did you get?

I got the English version of the East Coast Comic retail cover as it was my personal favorite.

Can’t wait for it to come out as we’re getting a mix of both TOHO and original monsters for all three stories.

Here's a variant cover gimmick I've never heard of before: giant trading card-style packs of Art Adams Godzilla #1 covers. Each cover has five variations (with different rarities, natch); the packs have three inside and retail for a cool $150.

You know IDW wants Godzilla #1 to be a big deal if they're bringing back the comic-shop-obliteration covers. I've only found two so far (the other is for Tulsa's Impulse Creations), but I'm sure more will be coming. They're much more generic this time around, with only the logo on the flying sign changing.

Godzilla Editor Tells Us About the Kai-Sei Era, Taking Godzilla to Space, & Expanding the Kaiju's Universe

IDW Publishing Editor Jake Williams breaks down the new Kai-Sei era of the franchise and why Godzilla must always "remain a towering force o

CBR: The Showa, Heisei, and Millennium eras of Godzilla have all been defined by their respective period and corresponding political tensions and zeitgeist at the time. The Kai-Sei era is very clearly its own beast, but what, if anything beyond its creators themselves, influences and defines it and its stories? Jake Williams: As far as political inspiration, the Kai-Sei Era is very much about the United States and its position on the world stage. Tim Seeley used the existence of Kaiju, and the mysterious energy source known as Kai-Sei, to set up an alternate history where America didn’t come out on top at the end of the Cold War. Instead, we’re entering an America that’s beaten down, isolated from the rest of the world, and fixated on how they can reclaim their old glory by destroying Godzilla. I’d say the other core inspiration, the much lighter inspiration, is the medium of comic books itself. Looking at the medium, meditating on what we can do with it, and trying our best to create a universe for Godzilla that utilizes everything the comic book medium has to offer. Attempting to play to its strengths.

This is the most interesting thing I've heard about this line of comics to date.
