Godzilla Roars for Wildfire Relief

Godzilla's rampage shifts from Tokyo to the US in IDW Publishing and Toho's new series, Godzilla vs. America. Following the Chicago debut, 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 renowned artists Gabriel Hardman, J. Gonzo, Dave Baker, and Nicole Goux, bringing their talents to depict Godzilla's destruction of iconic L.A. landmarks.

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 coincidentally mirroring current events, are intended to explore broader themes of resilience in the face of disaster. The statement also highlights the comic's creation predates the recent wildfires.

Associate editor Nicolas Niño shared his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the diverse stories featuring Angelenos uniting against Godzilla, including battles against giant lowrider mechs and a humorous take on the city's subway system. He emphasized the project as a celebration of Los Angeles' spirit and a way to support the community's recovery efforts.

Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1 will be released April 30, 2025, with final orders due March 24. For further news on upcoming comics, explore anticipated releases from Marvel and DC in 2025.
