That's Gareth Edwards, the director of the new reboot of Godzilla, announcing the official prequel graphic novel Godzilla: Awakening, which will be released on May 7th, nine days before the film hits theaters – ie just enough time to grab a copy and read it before going to see the movie.

Greg Borenstein and the film's screenwriter Max Borenstein are writing it and it'll have a cover by Arthur Adams. It's set several decades before the the monster terrorizes Bryan Cranston, Aaron Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen on screen. The official details are below:
