Godzilla's reign of terror 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 its destructive path with Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1, a four-story anthology showcasing Godzilla's attack on the City of Angels. The creative team includes notable names such as Gabriel Hardman, J. Gonzo, Dave Baker, and Nicole Goux.
The release timing of Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1 coincides unfortunately with the devastating wildfires impacting the Los Angeles area. Acknowledging the sensitive nature of this, IDW has pledged to donate all proceeds from the comic's sales to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (Binc), supporting bookstores and comic shops affected by the fires. IDW's letter to retailers and readers expresses their commitment to community support and clarifies their intent is not to profit from the tragedy but rather to explore themes of resilience in the face of adversity.
Associate editor Nicolas Niño shared his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the diverse stories featuring Angelenos uniting against Godzilla, including encounters with giant lowrider mechs and a humorous take on the city's subway system. He emphasizes the comic as a celebration of Los Angeles' spirit and a means to aid the community's recovery from the wildfires.
Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1 will be released on April 30, 2025, with final orders due March 24, 2025. For further updates on upcoming comic releases, explore anticipated titles from Marvel and DC in 2025.
