Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong is getting a sequel!

Posted on by

Monster mayhem stories need sequels with even more destruction! Legendary Comics has released a teaser video announcing Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2! The comic follows up on the hit series co-published with DC released in 2023/204 that ran for seven issues, though initially scheduled for six.

Legendary Comics’ Robert Napton and writer Brian Buccellato were on hand at New York Comic Con to discuss the incredible reception to Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, the first-ever crossover series featuring the Super Heroes of the DC universe and the Titans of Legendary’s Monsterverse. Napton and Buccellato were the ones to break the news to the fans in attendance, revealing plans for a June 2025 sequel series, Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2. The action moves to Legendary’s Monsterverse, as the Super-Villains of the DCU attempt to weaponize the Titans, with the DC Super Heroes in hot pursuit to thwart their plans. Readers will be treated to “titanized” versions of DC Super Heroes, plus the return of Legendary Comics’ Colonel Shaw, and new Titans, including Ghidorah, Rodan, and Mothra.

The new series will get a release in Spring 2025.

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #2 continues the popcorn fun

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #2

Legendary’s Monsterverse has been unleashed on the DC Universe, and cities are threatened across the globe! From Metropolis to Gotham City to Themyscira, the Justice League scrambles to protect the citizens from these raging titans! What role has the Legion of Doom played in all this monster madness, and how will the tide of battle change…when a hero falls?! Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #2 delivers the spectacle you expect and want as the threat grows… bigger.

Written by Brian Buccellato, Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #2 continues the silly summer popcorn fun that is its entire concept. Giant monsters are now destroying the DC Universe and the Justice League have to scramble to stop it all. Yes, it’s more than just Godzilla and Kong that are a part of this series. More monsters make their debut spreading destruction to numerous familiar cities.

And that’s really the entire point and fun of this, right? We want to see the Justice League fight these classic monsters. And now with even more of them on the table, who and what might show up makes the series even more exciting.

Visually, the comic is fun. Christian Duce‘s art with color by Luis Guerrero, and lettering by Richard Starkings and Jimmy Betancourt deliver a comic that has the spectacle you want and expect. The comic does a solid balance of over the top moments without turning into one giant splash page after another. It does an impressive job of delivering all of that in panels and making it still feel like something you’d see on the big screen. Let’s face it, we’re here to see Superman punch Godzilla and the comic gives us that in a visually fun and dynamic way.

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #2 isn’t all that complicated. The Justice League is fighting monsters in multiple cities. It’s the punching and destruction you’d expect from a story like this, nothing more. And honestly, it’s exactly what I’d want from this. It’s a comic you can just sit back, turn off you brain, and enjoy the symphony of destruction.

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #1 is the pop silly fun you’d expect

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #1

Let’s face it, there’s just some entertainment where you turn your brain off and enjoy the ride. Disaster films is an entire genre of that as you just sit in the awe of the scale of destruction before you. Often, kaiju films fall into this concept where how and what gets destroyed is the fun. It’s popcorn popculture, made to fill you up on the joy of the insanity of it all. Let’s face it, Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #1 kicks off exactly that. And it’s it’s a hell of a lot of fun.

While we don’t get into the battle royale that we all want, Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #1 sets things up as Clark Kent is attempting to have a very important dinner with Lois when Godzilla rises from Metropolis’ shore. How did things get to this point? That’s the comic, setting up the Justice League attempting to help Clark have a vacation and the Legion of Doom causing mayhem in all their dysfunction.

Writer Brian Buccellato seems to be having fun with it all as it feels like the comic mines more of a B-movie vibe and a Legion of Doom that’s more silly like we’ve seen in their animated form in the classic animated series Super Friends. They squabble and screw up and it all leads to the main event. It’s the exact camp you’d expect and want, never taking itself seriously and just having fun with the concept.

The art by Christian Duce is solid. With color by Luis Guerrero and lettering by Richard Starkings and Jimmy Bentacourt, the comic handles its genre smashing well and the art quickly shows off the concept of a giant gorilla fighting superheroes isn’t as silly as it might seem. But what’s interesting to me is that the art, like the comic itself, doesn’t take itself too seriously. The characters’ body language and facial expressions show a loose nature about it all. Like the comic’s concept, they’re just having fun and going with the flow. This is the more joking, smiley Justice League, not the seen some shit beat down version.

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #1 is exactly what you’d expect and want and is great because of that. It begs you to just sit back and enjoy the ride, taking you on an adventure that can only happen in comics. I have no doubt what’s to come will be predictable with the Justice League teaming up with Godzilla and Kong to fight the Legion of Doom but who cares, this is a wild journey to just sit back, enjoy, and not think too much about.
