Template:Infobox IDW Series/RoE Godzilla: Rulers of Earth (ゴジラ ルーラーズ オブ アース Gojira Rūrāzu Obu Āsu) is a comic book series by IDW Publishing, which ran from June 2013 to July 2015. At 25 issues in length, it is currently the longest-running Godzilla comic in the history of the franchise, one issue longer than Marvel's Godzilla, King of the Monsters.The series was written by Chris Mowry, who had previously written Godzilla: Legends #4, with art by Matt Frank and Jeff Zornow and colors by Priscilla Tramontano.
Set in the same universe as IDW's previous ongoing titles, Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters and Godzilla: Ongoing, the plot of Godzilla: Rulers of Earth primarily concerns an alien invasion by a race called the Cryogs, initially supported by the undersea Devonian civilization. At the same time, more and more of Earth's ancient monsters are appearing around the globe.
Rulers of Earth was the first American Godzilla comic series to be published in Japan, where it was licensed by PHASE6. It was followed by Godzilla: Rage Across Time and Godzilla: Legends in 2019 and 2020.
