Hollywood is buzzing with excitement over the latest trend of Godzilla and IP crossovers. After battling King Kong, the Justice League, and the Power Rangers, Godzilla is now set to face off against a unique lineup of characters from western literature.
In an upcoming three-issue miniseries titled Godzilla’s Monsterpiece Theatre, writer/artist Tom Scioli and IDW will pit Godzilla against Sherlock Holmes, Jay Gatsby, HG Wells’ Time Traveler, and even Dracula. The story is set in 1922, where one of Jay Gatsby’s extravagant parties inadvertently attracts Godzilla. Jay and the literary characters must join forces to confront the King of the Monsters in a showdown like no other.
Scioli, a Godzilla fan himself, describes the comic as a dream come true. He envisions the story as a grand adventure that also delves into themes of love and heartbreak. The comic promises to be both epic and absurd, with Godzilla wreaking havoc at a dance contest and encountering submarines, horses, and speedboats along the way.
Godzilla’s Monsterpiece Theatre is scheduled to debut in October, featuring a vibrant cover by Scioli. The unique blend of pop culture icons and classic literary figures is sure to captivate readers and spark the imagination of fans. It’s a wild concept that pushes the boundaries of storytelling and offers a fresh take on familiar characters.
As the anticipation builds for this unconventional comic series, fans can also look forward to upcoming releases from Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek. The DC Universe continues to expand on film and TV, while Doctor Who fans can stay informed on the latest developments in the beloved sci-fi franchise.
With Godzilla poised to enter the realm of great American literature, the stage is set for an unforgettable showdown that defies expectations and celebrates the enduring appeal of these iconic characters. Stay tuned for more updates on Godzilla’s Monsterpiece Theatre and other exciting projects in the world of entertainment.
