Godzilla’s 70th birthday just keeps on delivering the goods. As if the fabulous Godzilla Minus One wasn’t sufficient (watch it on Netflix or pre-order a copy on 4K Blu-ray), there’s even more great stuff coming out celebrating the colossal bipedal lizard. This time, we’re focused on new and upcoming books that expand on the cultural impact of Godzilla across the globe, diving into the smallest details of the Godzilla universe. And for comics fans, a massive omnibus of reprinted 1970s comics just came out, full of issues that pit Godzilla against Marvel’s best, including the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, and more.
