IDW's Godzilla vs. Los Angeles to Benefit Wildfire Relief Charity

By OliverFeb 25,2025

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 boasts renowned artists including Gabriel Hardman, J. Gonzo, Dave Baker, and Nicole Goux, promising a visually stunning depiction of the monster's destruction.

Acknowledging the sensitive timing given recent devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, IDW has pledged to donate all proceeds from Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1 to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (Binc), supporting bookstores and comic shops impacted by the fires. The publisher released a statement to retailers and readers expressing their commitment to community support and explaining their decision.

Associate editor Nicolas Niño shared his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the diverse stories within the anthology, featuring everything from giant lowrider mechs to Godzilla's encounter with LA's theme parks and even a humorous take on the city's subway system. Niño emphasized the unifying theme of Angelenos banding together against an overwhelming force of nature, a fitting metaphor given the city's recent challenges.

Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1 is set for release 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.
