After a brief hiatus, Godzilla returns to American comics with a new mini-series, Godzilla: Oblivion. IDW Publishing is now taking solicitations for the first issue, which will be available from comic book shops and retailers in March 2016. Writer Joshua Fialkov (Doctor Who, Ultimate FF) and artist Brian Churilla (Big Trouble in Little China!, TMNT) are the creative team for the series. Issue #1 features cover art by James Stokoe (Godzilla: Half Century War, Godzilla in Hell). In the series, a scientist has created a portal to another dimension -- one where monsters rule supreme! A terrifying expedition begins into a world where hope has died and Godzilla is the unrivaled King of the Monsters. But what happens when a baby kaiju hitches a ride back to the original, monster-less dimension?
