Godzilla has a long history with the Marvel Universe. Back in the ’70s, he even had his own Marvel Comics series that lasted two years. In those stories, he breathed his atomic fire on heroes like Nick Fury, and even the Fantastic Four. And this summer, the King of the Monsters returned to Marvel in the event series Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe. Thanks to the official Godzilla blog, we’ve learned that issue four’s cover is mashing up the iconic kaiju with THE X-Man, Wolverine. Yes, that means Godzilla can now add adamantium claws to his deadly arsenal. You can check out the “Wolverine-Zilla” variant, by artist Dave Wachter, for Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe #4 down below:
