Godzilla: Rulers of Earth

Godzilla: Rulers of Earth is the third main series of IDW's Godzilla comics and also the longest-running. It continues the story of Godzilla and introduces many new plot elements, including a monster-fighting military organization called Counter-Kaiju Reaction Forces (CKR) and two invading alien races, the Cryogs and Devonians. It also marks the first appearances of several kaiju in the IDW comics, including Zilla, Varan, Orga, Biollante, and the Gargantuas.

Title
Early promotional cover images for the series were still listed under the title of the previous series, Godzilla. It was eventually revealed that it was an entirely new series and was given the title Godzilla: Rulers of Earth.
