Godzilla [Kai-Sei Era]: Energy Unleashed

After the destruction of Godzilla’s physical form, it’s time to meet the new King of the Monsters: all energy, all rage…all trapped inside a teenage boy.

A new story arc starts here! G-Force had one mission: Eliminate Godzilla and the rest of the kaiju threat. After discovering Jacen, the boy with the fire of Godzilla, they knew they had an ace up their sleeve—and they pitted the two forces of nature against one another. 

Where Jacen and Godzilla once stood, there is now only Jacen. G-Force has ushered in a new era of global peace, and the world is eternally thankful. Godzilla…is seemingly no more. But there’s a fire raging inside of Jacen. He sees the beast inside of his mind. Is it possible…that this is all part of a larger plan? Is it possible…that Godzilla will return? As something new…something bigger? 

As Jacen will soon learn, he now shares a body with the King of the Monsters! It’s unclear which of these two entities is in charge, but they’d better figure it out soon, because without Godzilla around to keep them in check, the rest of the kaiju have begun a stampede across America in search of a new leader! 

Find out what has become of the King of the Monsters in this brand-new story arc, featuring art by superstar artist Hendry Prasetya (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto), Giada Belviso (Laura Kinney: Wolverine), and series writer Tim Seeley!
