Kong: The Great War

In the midst of World War I, a squadron of Allied soldiers finds themselves stranded on Skull Island, forced to survive not only the horrors of the trenches but the monstrous fauna of a forgotten world. This 2023–2024 miniseries from Dynamite Entertainment reimagines Kong's early years, pitting humanity against the primal chaos of the island before the great ape claims his throne. Written by Tom Scioli, the series blends war-story grit with pulp adventure, offering a visceral origin point for the King of the Apes that expands his mythos with a sharp, modern edge.
