The Story:
A dimensional experiment has gone horribly wrong, opening a portal between worlds—and now King Ghidorah, the monstrous three-headed dragon, descends upon a peaceful alternate Earth that has never known the terror of giant monsters. Caught completely off guard, the world’s military forces and scientific minds scramble to develop a strategy. With no defenses capable of stopping the creature’s devastating rampage, the only hope may lie in doing the unthinkable: bringing Godzilla into this untouched reality. But unleashing one monster to stop another could bring even more destruction.
As fear and desperation mount, this issue explores the consequences of interdimensional experimentation and the moral complexities of summoning a monster as both savior and destroyer.
