ABOUT
In 1954, experimentation with a mysterious energy source known as Kai-Sei awakened Godzilla and a host of immortal kaiju. In the years that followed, humanity has been pummeled by near-constant monster attacks. While Japan has begun to treat the kaiju like natural disasters—understanding that their attempts to fight Godzilla only make the threat worse—the American G-Force is going to fight, fight, fight.
And the Americans have just discovered the ultimate tool in the fight against kaiju: A young boy named Jacen with the power of Godzilla. Able to harness the mysterious Kai-Sei in the same vein as the King of the Monsters, this boy will either save the world…or bring about its doom. Join Tim Seeley (Grayson, Hack/Slash, Local Man), and Nikola Čižmešija (Sword of Azrael, Batman and Robin) on the ride of a lifetime!
Collects issues #1–6 of the brand-new ongoing series—and concludes with the most shocking twist Godzilla fans have ever seen. This volume is the entry point to the new Godzilla connected comic book universe shared with Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone and Starship: Godzilla!

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
