Trivia · 7 facts

• Published April 30, 2025 by IDW Publishing (in partnership with Toho International); hardcover edition released March 10, 2026.
• Second issue of the Godzilla vs. America anthology series, which was initially solicited as a four-issue limited run before being expanded into an ongoing series with the addition of a Portland issue in 2026.
• Creative team is entirely Los Angeles-based: Gabriel Hardman (writer/artist, story 1), Jordan Morris (writer, story 2) & Nicole Goux (artist, story 2), Dave Baker (writer/artist, story 3 — 'How to Use the Los Angeles Metro to Survive a Godzilla Attack'), and J. Gonzo (writer/artist, story 4 — 'Godzil-LA'). Edited by Jake Williams and Nicolas Niño.
• The issue ran 48 pages and contains four self-contained stories: a helicopter-reporter action piece, a Hollywood-dreams comedy set at a Universal Studios-style theme park ('The Big Break'), a survival-guide metro history comic by Dave Baker, and J. Gonzo's 'Godzil-LA,' in which Angelenos use Hollywood ingenuity — including a giant mech named L.A.-Bot and spray-painted skyscraper murals — to drive Godzilla off.
• Released on the same day as Marvel Comics' Godzilla vs. Spider-Man, placing it within a notable same-day multi-publisher Godzilla publishing moment.
• Cover A by Gabriel Hardman; Cover B by J. Gonzo (whose design includes graffiti referencing Mechagodzilla, King Ghidorah, Hedorah, Rodan, Gigan, Destoroyah, Megalon, Jet Jaguar, and Baragon, and a pair of twins visually referencing the Shobijin from the classic Toho films).
• Collected in both an individual hardcover (March 2026) and the omnibus trade paperback Godzilla vs. America: Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, Los Angeles (April 7, 2026); also part of an IDW-exclusive box set of all four city hardcovers.
