A more taciturn Seeley shared his own take on the city and the medium that he loves most.
“There’s not much I love in the world more than comics. Maybe Chicago,” Seeley said. “And there’s not much I love more than Chicago. Maybe Godzilla. And so, the chance to combine so many beloved things together for IDW’s ‘Godzilla vs. America’ series is a pleasure and an honor. I will mess up my favorite town with the greatest kaiju. Better call ‘Dibs’ on an oxygen destroyer.”
Beyond its primary cover from artist Browne, writer/artist Seeley is delivering a variant cover, while a special black-and-white version of the Browne cover is being offered as a retailer incentive.

The book is set for four issues, with the other cities set to be revealed at a later date. While not yet announced, we’re guessing New York City is likely to get its due — but where else? Washington, D.C.? Los Angeles?
Given its location between Japan and the U.S., a pop-in to Hawaii could make for some fun calamitous adventure. Personally, we’re rooting for him to specifically target Burbank.
“Like most sci-fi fans, Godzilla holds a special place in my heart,” Daniels shared in a statement. “I’ve always found the metaphor so compelling — and I love judging every new Godzilla project by what it adds to that conversation. I never would’ve dreamed I’d get to be a small part of that conversation myself; I can’t wait to add my two cents.”
The project is the latest in a run from IDW looking to capitalize on the character’s recent resurgence in popularity between projects like the Monsterverse films and TV series, as well as the success of “Godzilla Minus One.” That film happens to be getting another theatrical re-release next month with 13 minutes of bonus content.
Artist Jacob Edgar also illustrated this promo art, showcasing the entire series:

“‘Godzilla vs. America’ is one of the most exciting projects I’ve worked on at IDW,” editor of IDW’s Godzilla comics line Jake Williams said. “It’s a chance to highlight cities across the country and the creative talent that lives in them. For those living in these cities, these comics are going to feel like coming home — for everyone else, this is going to be a high octane tour of America taken on the back of Godzilla.”
“Godzilla vs. America — Chicago” hits stores on Feb. 26, 2025.
