Template:Infobox IDW Series/RoE Godzilla: Rulers of Earth is a comic book series by IDW Publishing, which ran from June 2013 to July 2015. At 25 issues in length, it is the longest-running Godzilla comic in history, one issue longer than Marvel's Godzilla, King of the Monsters. It is also the first American Godzilla comic to be published in Japan. 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.
