Godzilla, also sometimes listed online as Godzilla Ongoing, is a comic book series by IDW Publishing, which ran from May 23, 2012 to July 10, 2013. Written by Duane Swierczynski with art by Simon Gane, Godzilla picks up after the events of Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, with human society struggling to cope with the numerous kaiju overrunning the globe. Ex-British special forces operative Chauncey Boxer puts together a team of mercenaries to hunt down the kaiju and imprison them on a facility known as Monster Island. While Boxer and his team prepare to take down the ultimate prize, Godzilla himself, an even bigger threat arrives in the form of four space monsters, which threaten to destroy the entire planet unless mankind and Earth's monsters can band together to defend their home.
