Godzilla’s tour of the literary canon continues as it smashes its way across The Odyssey in this oversize standalone one-shot! Homer’s The Odyssey is widely considered to be the greatest epic of all time. So, how could you possibly make it more epic? Fill it with kaiju, that’s how. Odysseus’ journey home was already challenging enough, but what if instead of storms, sirens, and cyclopes, the gods sent monsters even more powerful than the titans? And what if Zeus sent the most powerful one of all to assist the king on his odyssey? It’s like Homer said: “Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is bred that is stronger more

Jun 15, 2026Frank Tieri and Ilyas Kyriazis’ Godzilla’s The Odyssey was a hell of a lot of fun. Godzilla and Greek Mythology were a pairing I never knew I needed, but somehow, it works extremely well together. Tieri makes this concept work from the first page to the last, and Kyriazis’ art hits on every level. If last month's Romeo & Juliet and Godzilla turned you off to Monsterpiece Theatre, consider jumping back on; this one was awesome. Read Full Review

Jun 09, 2026Godzilla's Monsterpiece Theatre Presents: Godzilla's The Odyssey is one of the strongest entries in IDW's literary crossover line so far. Frank Tieri finds a natural place for the King of the Monsters within one of history's most famous adventures, while Ilias Kyriazis gives the story a grand, mythological atmosphere that never loses sight of the fun. The concept could have easily been a novelty, but the creative team commits fully to the premise and delivers a genuinely engaging retelling. Add in a delightfully absurd Tom Scioli backup featuring Robin Hood, and you've got a comic that embraces both literary homage and giant monster chaos with equal enthusiasm. Read Full Review

Jun 14, 2026The art is creative, but the story runs out of steam in the end. However, the lead story is a wonderful primer for the upcoming Odyssey film although I’m sure the Greek gods and Godzilla himself will have much less screen time. Read Full Review
