    Plot
    Mole Man obtains a version of vibranium with unstable molecules and places it in his staff, where it becomes a dangerous weapon. This discovery triggers the awakening of Godzilla.

    Even an Eternal hatches prematurely to try to stop Godzilla, while New York and the Baxter Building shake with earthquakes. Godzilla eliminates the Eternal with a single blow.

    The Fantastic Four confront Godzilla and call in the Avengers and X-Men because they can't contain him. Reed activates a portal to the Negative Zone in his laboratory, but Godzilla notices and uses his tail to shake the device, and Reed, Sue, and Ben are transported to the Negative Zone.

    Black Panther takes Mole Man's staff to study this new iteration of vibranium.

    Thor is attacked by Godzilla by surprise, while Captain America manages to return Godzilla's attack using Atomic Breath. Godzilla regenerates himself faster than Deadpool.

    Captain Marvel, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Black Panther issue a global call for help, and Spider-Man arrives with Miles, Gwen, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Iron Man, and Deadpool, who calls himself the "New Thunderbolts."

    The dialogue in this comic is brilliant, with a good dose of comedy, like when Ben tells JJ Jameson that Godzilla is Spider-Man who used the Lizzard serum on himself.

    Quicksilver saving everyone is one of the most dynamic sequences in this comic.

    A magnificent first chapter in this saga that presents Godzilla as an unstoppable force of nature that takes the Marvel Universe by storm. Lots of action with a dizzying, addictive narrative pace.

    Art
    With highly detailed art that highlights all those heroic fight poses as well as Godzilla's scale, balancing the optimism of superheroes with the terror of Godzilla.

    Summary
    The Marvel Universe faces off against Godzilla, who is enraged by the existence of a powerful iteration of vibranium. Epic, intense, and powerful first installment
