Jan 21, 2025 8:45 PM

IDW Publishing is set to release "Godzilla vs. Los Angeles," part of the "Godzilla vs. America" series, in April 2025. This comic features four unique stories depicting Godzilla attacking Los Angeles, with contributions from talented writers and artists like Gabriel Hardman and J. Gonzo. Given the tragic timing due to recent wildfires in the area, IDW will donate all proceeds to the Book Industry Charitable Foundation to support bookstores and comic shops affected by the disasters. The comic has been developed for a year, but IDW acknowledges the sensitivity surrounding its release and emphasizes its commitment to support the community. The anthology includes thrilling depictions of giant lowrider mechs and more, celebrating the spirit of Los Angeles while addressing real-world challenges.

What is the release date of Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1?

Godzilla vs. Los Angeles #1 is scheduled for release on April 30, 2025.

Godzilla, a cultural icon and symbol of destruction, has long represented humanity's struggle against overwhelming forces, both natural and man-made. The character first appeared in the 1954 film "Gojira," and has since become synonymous with giant monster movies. IDW Publishing's recent expansions into this genre further explore these themes, allowing diverse storytelling that resonates with contemporary audiences.
