Godzilla vs. America: Los Angeles (2025)

’Godzilla vs. America: Los Angeles, internally titled Godzilla vs. Los Angeles, is the second issue of IDW Publishing's anthology comic series Godzilla vs. America. At 48 pages long, it includes four separate stories from different authors, all involving Godzilla in the American city of Los Angeles, California. It was published on April 30, 2025. Planned since July 2024, its release date's coincidental proximity to a series of wildfires in Southern California prompted IDW to put 100% of the comic's proceeds toward the Book Industry Charitable Foundation, raising $40,000 by May 5, 2025.’ - wikizilla
