June 9, 2026Obviously this isn't up there with the Godzilla/Great Gatsby crossover, but it's a damned sight better than that kaiju/Justice League mess, everyone involved here clearly understanding the assignment (well, OK, except that Splinter never once looks like a rat). The mutants and the monsters scrap, then get mashed-up; there are a few good gags, a bit of an emotional arc (good old power of brotherhood), and some clever entwining of the two properties to give it all more in the way of stakes – turns out the Foot ninja clan used to be humanity's defence against the monsters, which handily means there are special techniques enabling the Turtles to be other than an irrelevance to creatures the size of skyscrapers. It's nobody's idea of high art, but it does the job. Although whenever Casey Jones acquired a skater gecko sidekick with a painfully high Poochie rating, I wish he hadn't.

A great, big kaiju thanks to IDW Publishing and NetGalley for making their latest Godzilla mashup available to preview. Sometimes unlikely pairings can have a great payoff. Whether it’s the Judgement Night soundtrack or Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg, the unexpected pairing of two seemingly disparate individuals or groups can show more alignment and result in fascinating and novel outcomes. Such is the case with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles X Godzilla, where it would seem like the 4 pizza loving, skateboard riding turtle brothers, named after Renaissance painters, who hail from NYC would have little in common with Japan’s biggest export and most feared giant monster, Godzilla, and his other kaiju kin. However, as this comic makes the point, both the Ninja Turtles and Godzilla are mutants whose mutations provided them with unique skills and powers. While the Ninja Turtles grew from mutagen in the NYC sewers, Godzilla’s mutation arose from radiation from the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. What was also interesting about this pairing is that there’s a shared backstory to the pair. Shredder and Master Splinter were both part of the Foot Clan, which was formed in Japan and was one of the organizations that attempted to protect people from the kaiju attacks in Japan’s past. This comic features flashbacks to the Foot Clan’s older days when Shredder and Splinter worked together. Although the Foot Clan struggled to contain the giant monsters, they were able to develop a kind of connection to the creatures through meditation, allowing the Foot Clan to better understand the monster’s motivations and drives. It’s a creative and fascinating way to seek ways to understand and potentially exploit the monsters’ anger, fury and pure power to wreak havoc on the world.
The story includes flashbacks and alternates between NYC and Shredder and Krang’s crew in the Technodrome as they make their way to Japan to take advantage of the kaiju. The action starts as Bebop and Rocksteady are attempting to take some proprietary hardware from a Japanese scientist who is in NYC. The Turtles come to her rescue, and eventually learn more about the attacks on Japan from Godzilla. They spot Shredder there, and Master Splinter then reveals his long connection with the Foot Clan and their role in keeping the kaiju in Edo Island. April O’Neil and Casey Jones are also featured, along with Mondo Gecko, a newer character who I wasn’t that familiar with but enjoyed his time on the pages. There’s much creativity that went into integrating these stories, bringing in various Godzilla nemeses like King Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla, Rodan, Jet Jaguar, Hedorah, and Mothra. Both Hedorah and Mothra have some prominent roles in the plot of this story as well, and I loved the way Tim Seeley incorporated these canonical Godzilla characters and their backstories into this graphic novel. In addition, Fero Pe’s artwork is incredible in this, along with the coloring by Luis Antonio Delgado and the lettering by Brian Kolek. There are also some great alternative covers by other artists, especially at the end of the graphic novel. It was fun to see these variations on the stories and the attempts to blend the Turtles with Kaiju. This is a great and fun pairing of two seemingly different cult classics that works really well due to the entertaining story and the excellent artwork. Highly recommended!

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
I went into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla with a mix of nostalgia and curiosity. I haven’t really kept up with TMNT comics since the Dreamwave run back in 2003, which still sits in my head as the “modern” era even though it’s been decades. Godzilla, though — that’s always been my thing. So when I heard the Turtles were crossing over with the King of the Monsters, I knew I had to check it out. The concept alone was enough to pull me in.
And honestly, I liked it. It’s a fun read, and there are moments that absolutely deliver on the promise of “TMNT meets Godzilla.” But at the same time, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the story leaned a little too hard into being a fanservice mash‑up instead of something deeper. The idea of the Foot Clan — and other clans — existing to protect Japan from kaiju made me pause. It’s not that it’s a bad idea; it’s just one of those lore twists that feels like it was created purely to make the crossover work. I enjoy the notion of both franchises sharing a universe, but that particular explanation felt a bit thin.
The story moves fast, almost like it’s trying to hit every cool moment it can before the page count runs out. Shredder messing with kaiju DNA, the Turtles reacting to Godzilla like he’s the ultimate boss fight, the inevitable big showdown — it’s all entertaining, but I kept wishing it would slow down and explore the implications of these worlds colliding. There’s so much potential in the concept, and while the book taps into some of it, it doesn’t quite dig as deep as I hoped.
Where it absolutely shines is the kaiju stuff. Godzilla is handled well — massive, unstoppable, and treated with the kind of respect you want in a crossover like this. The other monsters showing up, like Rodan, Ghidorah, and Jet Jaguar, add a lot of energy. As someone who’s more of a Godzilla fan than a TMNT fan at this point, I appreciated that the kaiju weren’t just background noise. They matter.
The hybrid forms and kaiju‑powered Turtle moments are ridiculous in the best way. It’s the kind of thing that feels like it was ripped straight out of a kid’s imagination — or a toy catalog — but it works. It’s loud, it’s wild, and it’s unapologetically over the top. Even when I rolled my eyes, I was still smiling.
The art is probably the strongest part of the whole book. The action pops, the monsters look incredible, and the Turtles have a modern style that still feels familiar. Even when the story felt a little thin, the visuals kept me engaged.
Overall, I enjoyed the graphic novel. It’s a good read, especially if you’re already a fan of both franchises. But I was hoping for more — more depth, more exploration, more ambition. The concept deserved a story that wasn’t just a mash‑up of cool ideas but something that really dug into what makes TMNT and Godzilla work together. Still, as someone who grew up with the Turtles and never stopped loving Godzilla, I’m glad I read it up. It’s not perfect, but it’s fun, and sometimes that’s enough.

My thanks to NetGalley and IDW Publishing for an advance copy of this graphic novel collection featuring the martial arts gifted terrapins, the King of All Monsters, and many other characters from both universes meeting, clashing and stomping all over the world, with the fate of humanity in the balance.
There is a famous movie featuring the cute and loveable animated star Bambi, meeting the King of All Monsters Godzilla. It does not end well. This is how I always really thought every meeting with Godzilla would be. For to quote his theme song from the animated show, "Up from the depths, thirty stories high, breathing fire, and head in the sky." Really how does one fight that. Other Kaiju might have a chance, but what can a group of teenagers and their teacher do to Godzilla? When the heroes in a half-shell, quite a bit. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla is written by Tim Seeley with art by Fero Pe, coloring by Luis Antonio Delgado, and lettered by Brian Kolek features the urban vigilantes of the sewer against the world's stompiest kaiju with a whole cast of characters, friends enemies, robots, aliens and even moths, with the fate of the world in balance.
The book begins with the Foot Clan on the Island of Odo, putting aside differences to fight their immortal enemy, Godzilla. There attempt at using the power, the Way of the Foot fails, Godzilla continues to destroy things, and the Foot clan itself divides into good and evil. At home in the sewers the Turtles and their mentor Splinter, who was also there the day Godzilla won, see that Japan is at risk and decide to help. Before they can, New York is also attacked. Shredder, their enemy is working with many forces, trying to control the kaiju of the world, and take control of everything. The turtles must come together with allies old and new, for there are plans within plans, and it could mean the end of everything.
A fun little adventure featuring a lot of characters both from Turtle lore and from Toho films. Mothra, Casey Jones, Jet Jaguar, RockSteady are all here, fighting, mutating, more fighting and more. Seeley does a good job of balancing the story, using the Turtles and cast to really tell the story, and letting the kaiju crush, stomp and set things on fire. I enjoyed how Seeley played with the mythology also. Making Godzilla a reason why the Foot clan exists, and why the Clan also broke up. The art is really good, capturing the characters and destruction that kaiju leave behind. Sometimes in Turtle stories its hard to see a difference, but the artists even without the colored masks have made the characters unique in their own way.
I can see a sequel to this, as Seeley has created a story liking Godzilla and Turtles together. One can see the seeds, making this more than just a one-off adventure. I for one would be interested in that. For fans of Godzilla, Turtles, and a good intro to both if needed.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
I received this book courtesy of NetGalley for the purpose of a fair and honest review.
Overview: At one time, The Foot Clan was designed for a great purpose. The Foot was meant to use the secret techniques to repel the great kaiju. They were even able to repel the greatest kaiju of them all, Godzilla. Yet, when Master Splinter was young, The Foot Clan was unable to push Godzilla back. Now, The Foot Clan, under the leadership of Shredder, and Krang the Destroyer, are out to gain some advantage using the great kaiju and stealing technology from a leading Japanese scientist. What can be done to stop The Foot? The Turtles intend to pull it off. Of course, it's not just The Foot Clan that they need to worry about in this case. Can the Turtles vanquish this mess? Let's find out.
Story Telling: This is a crossover comic book between The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
Artwork: This is the American comic book style, and the kaiju looks amazing.
Dislikes: There was this whole side story of kaiju mutations. I prefer for the kaiju to be a separate situation.
Also, Mothril, Apra, what would you call her?, was weird. That's all that I can say about that.
Likes: Raphael had a big character growth situation in this book. I get it, he is more of a turtle of action. And Donatello is more of a nerd. This is a battlefield in the best of situations. This is considerably not the best of situations.
Godzilla was shown to be more of a balancing force.
Conclusion; This was a great book. If you are a fan of the Turtles or Godzilla, then this book is for you. Enjoy the read.

Review of advance copy received from Edelweiss+
The Odo dojo was often protecting the place from all the kaiju – but with the best will in the world struggled against Godzilla. Now the mahoosive beasts are back, and fighting and trampling with the help of evil interference. It's down to one giant rat and four constantly annoying turtles to try and get things put to rights.
Yes, this is tosh, but actually the best kind of tosh I can remember seeing from a book such as this. The togetherness and zen mind-melding and all that our heroes are told to use is possibly annoying hooey for the people who just want fighting, but there certainly is combat action galore here – and the conviction to turn anything this risible into something seemingly worthwhile. And visually? This I am quite sure is the best-looking TMNT book I've ever seen, and probably right up there as regards Godzilla too.
I have always found it a push too far for me to actually enjoy the Turtles as they're supposed to be, mind. And the extended kaiju family is the same. So while I don't mind how little Kinky Dora is on these pages, the whole Mothra plot is silly, the characters I'd never heard of don't do much, and the brand new characters are just not likeable at all. But, for all that I have to concede this was put together with visual care aplenty, and for people on board with both franchises this is a staggering mash-up. Even I can see it has merits to deserve four stars, at least, even if I would never normally wish to try this out.

Thank you IDW Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC!
I adore anything featuring Godzilla and I couldn't wait to see how the Turtles and Kaiju would come together in this collection. This was visually stunning and so entertaining, it included all my favourite elements—action, humour and brotherhood.
The Turtles hit a huge nostalgic spot for me, I loved how their story tied effortlessly into the world of the Kaiju. Their dialogue was fantastic and I felt like they were represented so well. The different Kaiju cameos were just as wonderful. What really brought this whole story together was the art, it was so vivid and some of the full pages were just beautiful. I really appreciated the collection of art included at the end!
This was such a fun comic and a must read for any fans of TMNT and Godzilla!

It’s everything that the Saturday-Morning-Cartoon-watching version of yourself always wanted. Kaiju begin attacking around the globe, including NYC, which brings our favorite turtles into the picture. All of Clan Himato is along for the adventure, along with familiar allies and enemies, the expansive lore of Godzilla is tapped into somewhat, and the art is just as fun as always. There are liberties taken, such as the Foot Clan being the original defenders of Japan against Kaiju, but it does work as intended for this standalone story. Tim Seeley is somehow able to fit a gargantuan-amount of plot into a few issues and does so very well. This volume also includes over 30 pages of variant covers! This is for fans of either IP, but especially those reading IDW’s TMNT or Sonic the Hedgehog series, or OniPress’s NacelleVerse.

When the heroes in a halfshell are around, there's always fun to be had! This five-volumes-in-one comic was such an absolute blast, especially as it featured one of my favourite cutie patooties ever, Godzilla. It's definitely a little silly (but, like, come on, we're all here for it) and was pretty chaotic, but was so entertaining and was the crossover I didn't know I needed. As usual, I loved seeing the brotherhood between the turtles and the friendship with April and Casey. The artwork is great, the dialogue is amusing, and the usual suspects are up to no good.
This was such a great read, made me crave some pizza though!

3.5/5
I think this was pretty decent for a crossover comic. While the story was somewhat basic, the star was seeing two properties interact. This comic does some pretty fun stuff with crossing properties over. Without going into spoilers: what happens to the turtles is pretty fun.
My main complaint is that I feel like some characters were introduced and then not used much. Mechagodzilla appears with "Mechagodzilla activated" and then a few pages later when he next appears it says "Mechagodzilla has fallen." I feel like if you're going to use a character that little, it's not really worth introducing them.
Overall, I did enjoy this comic and would recommend it to anyone who are fans of the turtles and Godzilla!

I think if it wasn't for nostalgia, I would give this a lower rating because there isn't a ton of story here, but it made me happy, so whatever hah. Plus, the art was really solid. I would have lost my GD mind if this came out when i was a kid. I was absolutely obsessed with Godzilla and Ninja Turtles in pretty much equal measures, so this felt like it was made specifically for me. It was like being 8 and smashing my toys together. It just brought up a bunch of nice memories, so 4 stars it is. Who cares if it's nostalgia bait, it worked hah. The Jet Jaguar appearance was especially appreciated.

With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
It's been many years since I delved into the turtleverse but I'm happy to see they're still going strong. I haven't read the comics since April was a cockroach, Mikey knocked up his alien girlfriend, and Ralph mutated or something? It's been a while. Anyway, Godzilla is unfamiliar turf to me, but I think the fans will like it. Splinter gets to shine which is always nice, and there's a bit of brotherly spat which is my favourite part (even though the whole Donatello subplot fell a bit flat). There's a weird bit with islanders that I'm not sure is fitting to modern sensitivities. But the fights are good. So, overall I enjoyed this.

My best friend said that this book was basically made for me and I mean yeah
I’ve been a big fan of the TMNT since I was a kid (‘03 series represent!) and with the Monsterverse movies that have been coming out (specifically starting with 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters) I’ve been a big fan of the big lizard too
So a book that is basically just 5 issues of action figures smashing together, what’s not to love? Sure there’s hardly a story, which could be a valid critique, but it’s GODZILLA X TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, like what do you want? Mikey as King Ghidorah is rad af, man

Review of advance copy
(Early rating and review from reading the monthly single issues)
The first few issues had a lot of potential, but as soon as everyone started kaiju-mutating into the toys, well, it lost me. And sure that's a spoiler, I guess, but have you seen the Funko Pops or the Playmates action figures? Then you've been spoiled. If those concepts are your thing, you'll enjoy the comics. Me, I thought the art was gorgeous and the story was dumber than Bebop and Rocksteady collaborating on a YouTube philosophy channel.

This book collects the five individual issues of TNMT x Godzilla. It's an entertaining and fun crossover, but a bit chaotic with the story (as to be expected). The art of the Kaiju is the highlight of the book. I also wanted to shoutout the extra art that was included featuring the Turtles and Godzilla, most of which were brilliant.
Fun book, well worth your time if you're fan of either franchise.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla was an everything I wanted and more!
As a fan of both TMNT and Godzilla I knew I had to read this. The story was engaging, fast paced, and humorous. The art was really beautiful and each of the characters got their chance to shine in their own way.
Overall, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla will appeal to both fandoms as well as nostalgic and modern day fans.

What an absolutely wild ride. This is some higher-level comic stuff right here, that clearly takes place farther into the series and everything is a little bit insane and there is a ton of stuff going on.
This read like mad-libs, or if a ten-year-old got creative control and put together a story using their favorite unrelated action figures. What I'm trying to say is that it was awesome. What fun. It delivers exactly what the cover promises, nothing more or less.

Nostalgia bait and I don't even care. The art here is genuinely gorgeous, some of the full-page spreads are worth the price of admission alone. Tim Seeley also gets the turtles' dynamic exactly right, which is the bit I was most worried about going in.
Where it falls down is the story, it's a little thin, and I found myself wanting more plot before things ramped up to the big finale. Not a deal breaker, just left me wanting a bit more meat on the bones.
Great art, spot-on turtles, wish there was more story to go with it.

In recent years there have been quite a few crossovers for both the Ninja Turtles and for Godzilla with the quality varying from project to project but when the two come together for this crossover, it’s magic. This hit all the right notes for both franchises and my TMNT-loving, Godzilla-obsessed heart so full. I’d absolutely love to see another installment in the future.

It captures a Saturday-Morning-Cartoon-watching experience. Kaiju attack places around the globe, including NYC, which brought the turtles in the mix. I found the story confusing. The art work for the most part worked for me. I found some of the plot developments...out there. I landed on a 3 and if you are a fan of the IP its presenting than why not. If not then I would say you can pass on this.

For me this is a good series but not monumental or really have an impact on the Turtle lore except that they have a bragging rights that they had a crossover with Godzilla. The premise is good, it has highs and lows in it's execution. The action is OK. Art wise, I like it. So basically this is not a banger or this sucks but an OK one that you will be entertain till the very last page. And don't forget to drool over the gallery pages that dishes a lot (I mean a lot) of Godzilla x TMNT artworks.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Godzilla is a fun trip down nostalgia lane. The artwork is really good, however, I didn’t understand the greyish color of Godzilla. The story is good and fun to read.
Overall, if you grew up with Godzilla and TMNT, this is a great way to spend part of your day.

The Turtles crossover with Godzilla and it's exactly what you'd think. Shredder and Krang figure out a way to control kaiju. Everyone gets kaijufied so everyone can fight at big monsters. It's your standard IDW what do we have left to cross over with fest.

Cool, 90s vibes, colorful, monsters, amazing art and TMNT pairing up with Kaiju, I mean! I love this. It’s so nostalgically delightful. A 10/10 comic — absolutely recommend.

I love Godzilla ♥️

An enjoyable mix of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Godzilla. The authors came up with a decent storyline to bring the two together. I really liked the artwork and the designs for the turtles/kaiju mashups.
I hope they come back and do another series in the future.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy!
I am totally here for all the TMNT crossovers we've been getting lately. I do, unfortunately, wish I'd enjoyed the story for this one a little bit more. The artwork throughout is absolutely killer--the turtles and other mutants look good, as do the kaiju. The story fell flat for me, especially at the end during the final battle. But at the end of the day, it's Godzilla AND the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so it was gonna be fun almost no matter what.
