Marvel VP of licensing and publishing Sven Larsen spent years talking with rights holder Toho about a crossover event.
“We approached them initially for our reprints, but a while after those conversations, it was clear that both of our teams were excited to do more together,” says Marvel editor in chief C.B. Cebulski. “These crossovers started coming together over that time, in direct collaboration with Toho, and we felt the perfect time for them was for Godzilla’s 70th anniversary next year. We’ve been thrilled to work with them on these, and we hope this will be a sign for more exciting projects to come.”
