It’s round three for the DC universe as they go up against the Monsterverse once more in Justice League vs Godzilla Vs Kong Volume 3 only this time, the multiverse is coming along.
Just revealed at NYCC, the third meeting of the Justice League and the two biggest kaijus around is coming in 2027 and it’s not just going to be one against the other as the new series will see Earth 3’s Crime Syndicate enter the fray and they have their own version of Godzilla and Kong.
So we’re going to have maximum Kaiju and maximum superhero carnage all in one book!
While I don’t have any more details right now, there is a teaser down below and as I get more details, I will share them right here.
DC Comics and Legendary Comics, in partnership with Toho International, have announced Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, an inter-company crossover that will bring the Legendary Monsterverse into the DC Universe.
The seven-issue limited series will be written by Brian Buccellato with art by Christian Duce and colors by Luis Guerrero. The first issue will be released on October 17, 2023, with a main cover by Drew Johnson and variant covers by Jim Lee and Scott Williams, Rafael Albuquerque, Francesco Mattina, and Dan Mora and Alan Quah.
In addition, two gatefold variant covers by Duce, one featuring Kong and one featuring Godzilla, will go on sale on November 14. The gatefold covers will contain sound chips that play the monsters’ battle roars, when the covers are opened. They will be polybagged and will have an MSRP of $14.99 apiece.
The story will start with the Justice League facing off with the Legion of Doom in a fight that ruptures the wall between worlds, allowing the Monsterverse monsters to invade Earth.
“There have been a couple of classic crossovers since I started reading comics: Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, The Uncanny X-Men and the New Teen Titans—and we hope Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong joins that list of unforgettable meetings,” said Robert Napton, SVP & Publisher, Legendary Comics, in a statement accompanying the announcement.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
