Godzilla's rampage shifts from Tokyo to the United States in IDW Publishing and Toho's new series, Godzilla vs. America. Following the Chicago installment, the series continues with Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1, a four-story anthology showcasing Godzilla's attack on the City of Angels.
The creative team includes notable artists such as Gabriel Hardman, J. Gonzo, Dave Baker, and Nicole Goux.
Acknowledging the sensitive timing given recent devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area, IDW has announced that all proceeds from Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1 will be donated to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (Binc), supporting bookstores and comic shops impacted by the fires. The publisher released a statement emphasizing their commitment to community support and clarifying that the comic's themes, while unintentionally mirroring current events, explore the human condition in the face of tragedy. The statement also notes the comic's development began last July.
Associate editor Nicolas Niño shared his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the collaboration with Los Angeles-based artists and the diverse stories featured, including Godzilla battling giant lowrider mechs and navigating the city's subway system. Niño emphasized the unifying theme of Angelenos banding together against an overwhelming force of nature, making the comic a fitting tribute to the city's resilience.
Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1 is set for release on April 30, 2025, with final orders due March 24. For further updates on upcoming comic releases, explore anticipated titles from Marvel and DC in 2025.
