Your first Sonic X Godzilla preview pages are here and they're glorious

Mothra attacks Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, and Tails

Prepare yourselves! An epic onslaught of adventure begins on July 15th when the kaiju of Godzilla's world arrive in Sonic's world. Sonic the Hedgehog X Godzilla #1 is available for pre-order now, so let your comic shop know you want to reserve a copy (or maybe a few, I mean... have you seen our covers?).


Sonic the Hedgehog X Godzilla #1

It's a crossover of massive proportions!

The Blue Blur's battle with Dr. Eggman is upended by the arrival of two enormous monsters emerging from a humongous fissure in reality. The magnificent Mothra and the menacing Mechagodzilla carry their vicious battle into Sonic's world, and its fate now hangs in the balance! Is Sonic, with the help of his loyal friends Amy and Tails, fast enough to halt the city's frantic destruction? And why is Eggman so happy about this whole big mess?

Wait, is that Eggman now? How can he take over a solici—

From the files of me, Dr. Eggman! That petulant blue pipsqueak is making my existence absolute torture again—interrupting my crucial research on the beasts from the dimensional fissure! I simply MUST unlock the secrets of these giant monsters and use them to create something... eggtastic.


I've been writing this crossover comic in some form or another for nearly four years so I'm thrilled for everyone to finally get a look at what we're cooking. Jack Lawrence and Reggie Graham are doing masterful work here!

Nick Marino podcasting

I've been making the rounds since Sonic the Hedgehog X Godzilla was announced. Most recently, my in-house recording for IDW's new Creator X Creator podcast dropped. I'm in one-on-one conversation with the new ongoing Star Trek writer, Chris Cantwell, and we dig into the philosophical ramifications of our upcoming comics. Here's that interview followed by three more great SxG conversations with my friends, both old and new.

Sonic X Godzilla fans

My journey with Sonic X Godzilla began years ago in the middle of 2022, so it's honestly such a relief to be able to talk about this project now. I'm honored by the ecstatic fan reaction to our reveal and I can't wait to share more as we get closer to the first issue's release. That said, our IGN announcement includes a short interview that'll have to tide you over for the time being. For now, I'll let these amazing covers by Jack and Reggie, Mauro Fonseca, Min Ho Kim, Clayton Crain, Mico Suayan, Natalie Haines, and Miles Arq do the talking!
