Godzilla Prepares to Tour America in a Brand-New Series

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for monster movies and a deep-rooted love for American cities, I can hardly contain my excitement for IDW Publishing’s upcoming mini-series ‘Godzilla Vs. America’. Growing up in the era of black and white kaiju flicks, Godzilla was more than just a monster – he was a symbol of our fears, hopes, and the unpredictable consequences of technology run amok.


In a new twist, IDW Publishing is preparing to launch ‘Godzilla vs. America’, an exciting anthology where Godzilla targets the United States, starting in Chicago. This series promises a heart-pounding adventure as America’s famous cities brace for the onslaught of the monstrous ruler.

In a nutshell, the mini-series titled ‘Godzilla Vs. America’ is crafted by Mike Costa and Tim Seeley, two enthusiasts deeply invested in the world of kaiju. Mike Costa, looking back at his youth spent watching monster flicks, shared his enthusiasm about working alongside Ryan on this particular venture.

Costas shares that it’s an amazing privilege to be part of crafting a tale about the world’s most renowned and terrifying ‘non-dinosaur’, but rather, a radioactive sea beast. This creature serves as a symbol for our concerns over uncontrolled technology and its frequent catastrophic outcomes.

Tim Seeley, a longtime comic book writer, showed great excitement as the series was set to begin in his hometown of Chicago. “I have a soft spot for comics,” he said, “but my affection for Chicago might just be stronger. However, even Godzilla takes the lead in my heart.

Seeley expressed delight and respect at blending all the components in ‘Godzilla Vs. America’, stating it was a joy and privilege to do so. He playfully hinted at causing destruction alongside Godzilla in his preferred city, implying that everyone might require an ‘oxygen destroyer’ for protection.

Apart from Jake Williams, the IDW editor, shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming series too. As per him, ‘Godzilla Vs. America’ promises to feature several iconic American cities and bring forth local artistic flair.

Williams noted that for individuals living in these cities, these comics might seem reminiscent or familiar. On the other hand, for those not from these cities, reading these comics would be like taking an exhilarating journey across America, riding on the back of a giant creature symbolizing American culture.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m excited about ‘Godzilla Vs. America – Chicago’, the kickoff of an epic four-issue journey where Godzilla leaves the Western world behind. In less than a year from now, on February 26th, the first issue will storm comic book stores worldwide!

As a die-hard gamer, I’m buzzing with anticipation! Right now, Chicago is the only city confirmed, but there’s a storm of speculation swirling around potential additions to Godzilla’s itinerary. Some folks think New York City, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles might be next on his list! The series has a real blockbuster vibe, with its promise of weaving epic American landscapes into the heart-pounding action of monster movies. I can hardly wait to see the showdowns unfold in these iconic cities!

Keep an eye out for further announcements as Godzilla gets ready to trample through some of America’s most iconic urban areas, causing the familiar havoc associated with giant monsters in a fresh setting.
