See moreEscape from Skull Island is the second arc of the official comic continuation of the hit Netflix animated series Skull Island. Collecting issues 1β4 of the action-packed series and following from the epic events and battles that took place in Return to Skull Island.
Previously, a rag-tag group was pulled onto the shores of Skull Island following a deadly attack at the tendrils of the Kraken. While some were able to escape, with the help of their protector Kong, they made the brave β yet foolish β decision to return and save their newfound friends. Now their ship has been stolen, theyβre trapped on the island where every corner reveals a new blood-curdling creature.
The towering Kongβs efforts to protect the humans from the islandβs terrifying inhabitants saw him clash with Yuugoth, whose poison corrupts all that lives on Skull Island. Now the humans must fend off hordes of frenzied monsters, in the hopes that Kong can defeat these new terrifying threats.
Writer Simon Furman brings his expertise in creating epic, character-driven stories to Escape from Skull Island, offering a high-stakes narrative filled with twists, betrayals, and heart-pounding action. Furmanβs signature style of deep world-building and complex character arcs ensures that each issue is more than just a battle for survivalβitβs a clash of ideologies, alliances, and kaiju.
Illustrated by Christopher Jones, the comic bursts with dynamic action, vivid landscapes, and intricate creature designs, capturing the islandβs menacing beauty. This is a must-read for fans of Kong: Skull Island, the MonsterVerse, and anyone who loves adrenaline-fueled adventure set against a backdrop of giant monsters and deadly intrigue.
