Exclusive Godzilla vs. Portland Comic Drops with Limited Screenings

Portland's beloved kaiju comic, Godzilla vs. Portland, is back for a second print run with an exclusive new cover. The first edition sold out quickly, and this time, Cosmic Monkey Comics is pairing the release with screenings of the cult classic Godzilla vs. Hedorah.

What's Dropping

The Godzilla vs. Portland comic is part of IDW's Godzilla vs. America series, featuring local artists and writers. This second print features a new cover by Eisner Award-winning artists Michael and Laura Allred, showcasing Cosmic Monkey's mascot fleeing Godzilla near the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. The $15 bundle includes the comic and a ticket to one of three screenings of Godzilla vs. Hedorah at the Academy Theater.

When & Where

The screenings are on July 3, 6, and 8 at the Academy Theater (7818 SE Stark St.). Tickets are $15 and include the comic. If you miss the screenings, the comic will also be available at a signing event on July 18 from noon to 3 pm at Cosmic Monkey Comics (5335 NE Sandy Blvd.), featuring contributors like Colleen Coover and Mark Russell.

The Play

For collectors, this is a must-have—the first print sold out fast, and the Allreds' exclusive cover adds value. Resellers should watch for early sales to gauge demand; comparable IDW Godzilla comics average around $7.75, but this edition's local tie-ins and limited run could drive higher interest.

Is It Worth It?

For fans, the $15 bundle is a steal—you get a rare comic and a fun screening. Resellers should monitor initial sales, as the first print's quick sellout suggests strong demand. While comps are modest, the exclusive cover and local hype could make this a sleeper hit.
