Titan Comics has announced more storytelling from the Monsterverse as the publisher re-teams with Legendary Comics for Escape From Skull Island. The four-part series, spinning out of the events of Return to Skull Island, will launch in stores in January 2026.
Escape and its recently completed predecessor are an official continuation of Netflix hit animated series Skull Island: The Animated Series, now streaming.
The brand new series is written by the returning colossal creative team of Simon Furman (Transformers) and illustrated by Christopher Jones (Doctor Who: Once Upon a Time Lord). Issue #1 features cover art from Maria Wolf, Christopher Jones, Sunghan Yune and Serg Acuna.
Take a look at each of the cover designs below:
Trapped on Skull Island, a desperate band of survivors struggles against the land’s relentless horrors while an ancient threat rises from below. But as chaos unfolds, flashbacks reveal Kong’s turbulent youth: his battles, losses, and the primal instincts that shaped him into the island’s sovereign.
Now, as hordes of monstrous beasts close in on the stranded humans, the most dangerous enemy of all regains strength to once more challenge Kong’s throne.
Titan has also announced that Return to Skull Island Vol. 1, collecting the first series into one graphic novel will release in stores on February 3, 2026.
Return to Skull Island collects the thrilling official continuation comic of the hit Netflix Kong: Skull Island animated series, adapting the intense, monster-filled world.
This enthralling comic continues the story of a diverse group of explorers on the perilous Skull Island. They’re constantly in danger, not only from the gargantuan creatures that tower over the treetops, but also the enemies that lurk in the island’s shadows. The survivors face deadly, life-threatening challenges, as they uncover the island’s dark secrets and fight for survival in a land where every creature is a threat, including Kong himself.
Fans can pre-order Escape From Skull Island #1 from their local comic shop and Forbidden Planet for UK & Europe. The collected edition of Return to Skull Island is available here.
