When the King of Monsters Met the God of Thunder: Godzilla vs. Thor #1 Breakdown

Godzilla versus Thor #1 - Comic Plot

Thor vs. Godzilla has emerged as one of the most anticipated comic books this year, bringing together two legendary icons from different universes. With Jason Aaron at the helm, this comic doesn’t just meet expectations—it surpasses them with an epic narrative, spectacular battles, and character depth rarely seen in crossovers.

The Cult of the Beast

So, where this starts out here is in Japan at a place called the Forgotten Forest here in a Nameless Valley. Now, this here is the arch priestess of the hand. And she has gathered right now some of the greatest convicted killers across the entire world.

"In the beginning, there were gods. Oh, so many gods. Then came the beast to defile all the gods had made one blessed slaying at a time. Welcome to the citadel here of the hand. Here we honor the beast by celebrating his greatest gift to man. Nothing less than the highest form of human expression, murder. Murder in all its many exquisite forms."

None have celebrated this gift more than the ninja of the hand. Yet our clan remains incomplete, headless. As arch priestess, I have searched for many years to find our dark lord's promised messiah, the one true fist of the beast.

The Resurrection

The arch priestess realizes her mistake in thinking Frank Castle (The Punisher) could be the fist of the beast. Instead, she needs these killers for a different purpose:

"Oh, Contrer, none of you pathetic creatures are worthy of being the beast's fist. I only need you to die."

After sacrificing the killers, the narration continues:

"There is only one such monstrosity that has ever walked the earth. A monster fueled by the restless souls of those lost in war and now resurrected with the freshly spilled blood of murdered murderers. Rise Godzilla, king of the monsters, king of all killers." 

Godzilla's Rampage

In the aftermath, Godzilla is doing Godzilla things while everybody's trying to run for their lives. The high priestess explains: 

"The world thought that Godzilla was dead after its rampage through Yokohama 20 years ago. Its body was obliterated, leaving only a blacken heart upon the seafloor. A heart that never stopped beating. A heart filled with furious rage. The rage of Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima and the corpse headed beaches of Okinawa. Enough rage to trample cities in gut continents to leave this planet reeling through space to ring with its own inwards. In the name of all that is unholy. Look at it and tell me, have you ever seen anything so beautiful?"

Thor Arrives

But somebody was about to rain in on her parade because here comes Thor, the all father, who just drops in out of nowhere:

"The clouds screamed thunder. A hammer fell like lightning. And suddenly there descended a hurricane of godly wrath. From the distant halls of Asgard, the mighty Thor heard the prayers of the dying and desperate. The all father of the realm eternal knew a dragon when he saw one."

 

The Battle Begins

Thor calls for the storms of Midgard:

"This mindless lizard fancies itself a god. Then let it walk where only gods dare tread. Come Godzilla, try thy luck in the heavens."

So that day, God fought Godzilla in the skies above Tokyo:

"Clouds were scorched into blackened scabs as the sky became a gaping wound, raining fire. A blizzard of ash and god blood howled from the summit of Fuji to Arctic shores. Roars and thunder shook the land across four continents as the battle raged for hours. Unstoppable as guardian versus unkillable monster."

 

The Necro Sword

After freezing Godzilla temporarily, the arch priestess and the Hand acquire a devastating weapon:

"My ninja have just returned from the vault of the collector where the rarest cosmic antiquities are hidden away. There they retrieve the last known sliver of the all black the necro sword. Oh my goodness, the blade of Gore the god butcher."

The Fall of Asgard

Godzilla, empowered by the Necro Sword, attacks Asgard:

"The roar rang out through the ether. A cry that shield the blood of the almighty Thor. The roar of the beast who had torched and trampled the greatest realm of the gods. The king of the monsters imbued with the power of Gore. Behold, Godzilla, the God Butcher."

The Final Battle

Thor gathers all storms from across creation:

"From every world across creation, every solar squall and cosmic cyclone, every storm that blustered and bellowed from anywhere throughout infinity, all came thundering to Thor. Until there raged a superstorm beyond belief, a cosmic hurricane the size of a galaxy, the all storm."

Thor's final attack:

"This will be the end of Godzilla. This I swear on the blood of the gods, even if it must mean the end of Thor. Mjolnir the full power of the superstorm. We must focus its entirety through us for one last fight. Godzilla, see you in hell."

Epilogue

The aftermath sees both combatants in the land of the dead:

"And so every dawn in the land of the dead saw the battle renewed, combat beyond compare, raging until the end of time. Yet what is death? Every Ragnarok is but a new beginning. Gods to be reborn down through the ages and monsters who will never die."

Final Thoughts: Some of these Godzilla stories have been duds if you ask me, but this one right here was amazing. Impeccable writing, great storytelling. Love the thing here with Gore the God Butcher. I thought it wasn't done in a cheesy way. Phenomenal piece of writing gear.
