LOOK OUT NEW YORK! A previously dormant Godzilla has been angrily awoken and begun carving a path of annihilation as Earth's Mightiest Heroes band together to try and stop it's cataclysmic rampage! But when their combined efforts fail to slow the Bringer of Destruction, Earth's heroes are forced to go to extraordinary lengths to try and bring Godzilla down - including joining forces with Earths most devious villains! But will this be enough to stop Godzilla as it tears straight through the Marvel Universe into the Dark Dimension and other realms? Plus, how is the King of the Monsters connected to the mysterious metal, Vibranium, and what does more
Godzilla is a menace. I am hoping that the team is able to beat him. It seems that Reed and T'Challa want to take him down, but also study the monster. The team must keep the eye on the prize of actually taking down Godzilla. I believe with Reed's genius, and also the other characters and their powers, they will successfully take the monster down.

Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe #1 is an explosive debut that delivers on its title with bombastic action, clever character moments, and jaw-dropping visuals. It's a love letter to kaiju chaos that respects Marvel continuity while gleefully tearing it down. Read Full Review
Javier Garrn delivers spectacular set pieces and cinematic panels. The series opens with iconic Marvel faces (Fantastic Four, X-Men) facing off in the rubble with grounded storytelling meeting an epic scope. Colorist Jess Aburtov amplifies Godzillas aura with fiery tones and symbiote-black accents when hints of alien presence emerge. Whether devastation in Manhattan or portal-straddling battlefields, Garrns layouts capture dynamic movement and massive scale with precision. Read Full Review
Despite some stray panels where the art conflicts with the horror of the moment, Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe #1 is everything franchise fans might hope for. Earth's Mightiest Heroes fight a war of attrition against the King of the Monsters and it is glorious. Highly recommended for anyone who likes kaiju and/or superheroes. Read Full Review

Overall, Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe #1 is an enjoyable comic. Some of Duggan's humor and Garron's artwork may not work for everyone, yet both comic creators infused the issue with plenty of heart. While the portrayal of Thor in the comic is borderline insulting, especially compared to the character's previous brawl with the King of the Monsters, Duggan makes up for it with his characterizations of the other heroes. It isn't one of the best Marvel Godzilla comics, but it continues the trend of being irreverent fun that you can turn off your brain and enjoy. Read Full Review
Far better than expected.
The FF are portrayed properly (someday maybe they will be in thier own book).
The Avengers act like Avengers (excpet for Thor who apparently leaves in a sulk because he got his ass handed to him (which I loved)).
The X-Men, despite the cover, aren't even in the book - which is AWESOME! Muties lost my interest a long time ago because of over exposure - so this is refreshing.
The Celestral was a misstep I feel. Lots of other ways to so Godzilla's power.
Sadly, the issue ends with a new batch of characters joining the fray. Not one of the street level characters could add much of anything to fight - and the inclusion of Deadfool? Anything about or around him more
