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, April 2025 will see the release of Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1, a four-story anthology depicting the King of the Monsters' attack on the City of Angels.
The creative team boasts renowned talent including Gabriel Hardman, J. Gonzo, Dave Baker, and Nicole Goux. Their collaborative effort promises a thrilling depiction of Godzilla's destructive power amidst the iconic Los Angeles landscape.
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 broader concepts of resilience in the face of tragedy.
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. He emphasized the unifying theme of Angelenos banding together against an overwhelming force of nature, making the comic a fitting tribute to the city's spirit.
Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1 hits shelves 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.
