Godzilla: Escape The Deadzone (kai-Sei Era) - Manga Style Edition TP #1 (2026)

Journey into the Deadzone! A wasteland filled with human/monster hybrids, strange cults, and more kaiju than you’ve ever imagined—all set in the world of the all-new Godzilla Kai-Sei Era. Collected here in a compact black-and-white format! Inside the new IDW Godzilla universe, there exists a mystery larger than any other…what is the Deadzone? Inhabitants of this new world know the Deadzone to be a walled-off portion of the Pacific Northwest, cordoned off after the most disastrous Godzilla attack the country has ever faced. The government would have its citizens believe that nothing is still alive inside the Deadzone…but do you believe that? There are stories of a man…or rather, a half kaiju, half man…who travels freely throughout the Deadzone. Some say he can even kill a kaiju. Some say…this “wanderer” is not the only of his kind. Follow the Wanderer as he encounters the strangest characters to hit comics in a decade: Glasseater and Runt! Two kaiju-controlling kids who are being hunted for their strange abilities. Together, these three will run afoul of Godzilla-worshipping churches, the world’s biggest Godzilla fan (literally!), and an underground kaiju fight ring. Journey into this mysterious new world with writers Griffin Sheridan and Ethan S. Parker (Kill Your Darlings) and artist Pablo Tunica (Godzilla/Ghostbusters 2, Sea Serpent’s Heir). Part of the new Godzilla connected comic book universe with Godzilla: End of the Reign [Kai-Sei Era] and Starship: Godzilla!
