Starship Godzilla is an upcoming 2025 ongoing comic series by IDW Publishing. Part of a shared universe of Godzilla comics dubbed the Kai-Sei Era, alongside Godzilla and Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone, it will debut on October 1, 2025.[1] The series will be written by Chris Gooch and illustrated by Oliver Ono, and will follow a team of spacefaring mercenaries who embark on kaiju-related missions throughout the galaxy using their starship, the S.S. Mechagodzilla.[2][3] While Godzilla's name is present in the title, it is unclear if he will appear; it has instead been billed as a "Mechagodzilla standalone series".[4]

Development
IDW Publishing first revealed plans for a new Godzilla shared universe with the solicitation of Godzilla: The New Heroes in November 2024. The series was formally announced alongside Godzilla and Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone on February 19, 2025, as part of IGN's Fan Fest event.[2] The full synopsis was revealed later that day on the official Godzilla website.[5]
According to editor Jake Williams in a Reddit AMA, six issues of the series had been "pretty much fully written" by early June 2025.[6]

Trivia
- Starship Godzilla will be IDW Publishing's second comic series focusing on a kaiju other than Godzilla, following Mothra: Queen of the Monsters, also released in 2025.
- Despite featuring human-like characters in the main cast, series editor Jake Williams has confirmed that none of the characters in this series are from Earth.[7] This makes Starship Godzilla the second IDW Publishing comic with an entirely alien main cast, following the ninth issue of Godzilla Rivals, Vs. Spacegodzilla from 2023.
- One of the crew members of the S.S. Mechagodzilla, Lif, is a Simian.[3] This marks the first time that a Simian has been a protagonist in any piece of Godzilla media.
