Escape From Skull Island #1 (Of 4)

An official continuation of the Skull Island animated series, Escape From Skull Island #1 plunges readers into a desperate struggle for survival on a jungle-fringed island ruled by horrors. Trapped with a dwindling band of survivors, they confront relentless predators while an ancient threat stirs beneath the ruins. Through sharp flashbacks, the issue peels back Kong’s turbulent youth, tracing battles, losses, and the primal instincts that forged him into the island’s sovereign. Scripted by Simon Furman with dynamic art by Christopher Jones, the book balances character-driven drama with pulse-pounding creature action. As hordes of monstrous beasts close in, a looming foe regains strength, threatening Kong’s shaky throne and forcing the cast to reckon with what it means to be the island’s guardian. This first chapter sets a brisk, thrilling pace for a four-issue arc that expands Skull Island’s mythos for both new readers and long-time fans.
