Get ready for a team up of epic proportions as Titan Comics and Legendary Comics get together to launch a monster of a new series. Set in the world of Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse, Return to Skull Island expands on the world seen in Netflix’s Skull Island: The Animated Series, streaming now.
Issue #1 will debut in comic shops on June 4, 2025, featuring a cover by superstar artist Inhyuk Lee, bringing fans deeper into the world of Kong and the mysteries of Skull Island. Set against a backdrop of giant monsters and deadly intrigue, the comic follows a group of survivors stranded on the perilous island in the South Pacific. As they uncover its dark secrets, they face life-threatening challenges and fight for survival in a land where every creature is a threat—including Kong himself. The series is written by Simon Furman (Transformers) and illustrated by Christopher Jones (Doctor Who: Once Upon a Time Lord).
Titan Comics editor Louis Yamani shared his excitement about the new comic series:
“Skull Island’s shadows hide untold stories, fierce battles, and creatures unlike anything seen before. Marrying brilliant illustrations and epic storytelling, we see a new side to Kong and his kingdom. We can’t wait to share more this June!”
