Skull Island: The Birth of Kong

Set in the early 1970s, Legendary's Skull Island: The Birth of Kong expands the cinematic MonsterVerse with a four-issue miniseries that chronicles the secret history of the iconic ape. Written by Arvid Nelson and illustrated by Zid, the story follows a team of scientists and soldiers who venture into the treacherous, monster-filled island to uncover the origins of the giant primate. This prequel offers a deeper look at the island's ecosystem and the events that shaped Kong into the king he becomes, bridging the gap between the 2017 film and the larger franchise. It's a must-read for fans seeking more of the mythic, dangerous world where man is not at the top of the food chain.
