Godzilla prequel comic Awakening announced

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

If GODZILLA‘s origins aren’t made perfectly clear in Gareth Edwards’ mega-budget re-imagining next summer, they will be in a prequel. Prequel comic, that is. Legendary Pictures announced today that they will be unveiling GODZILLA: AWAKENING on May 7, a week in advance of the film’s May 16th release.

Edwards himself helped make the announcement in a video, which you can see below. Of course, no details are available at this time, other than it’s set decades before the movie. The book will be written by Greg Borenstein and Max Borenstein (screenwriter of the forthcoming film).
