Titan Comics and Legendary Comics have revealed the next chapter in the Monsterverse saga with RETURN TO SKULL ISLAND, an all-new comic book series set within the universe of Skull Island: The Animated Series.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- Titan Comics and Legendary Comics are excited to announce that the Monsterverse expansion continues with RETURN TO SKULL ISLAND, a brand-new comic book series set in Legendary's Skull Island: The Animated Series universe (currently streaming on Netflix). Issue #1 will debut in comic shops on June 4, 2025, featuring a cover by superstar artist Inhyuk Lee, bringing fans deeper into the world of Kong and the mysteries of Skull Island. The first issue will be solicited in the April edition of Diamond PREVIEWS, and fans can pre-order from their local comic shop and Forbidden Planet for UK & Europe.



Set against a backdrop of giant monsters and deadly intrigue, the comic follows a group of survivors stranded on the perilous island in the South Pacific. As they uncover its dark secrets, they face life-threatening challenges and fight for survival in a land where every creature is a threat—including Kong himself. The series is written by Simon Furman (Transformers) and illustrated by Christopher Jones (Doctor Who: Once Upon a Time Lord).

Titan Comics editor Louis Yamani shared his excitement about the new comic series:

"Skull Island's shadows hide untold stories, fierce battles, and creatures unlike anything seen before. Marrying brilliant illustrations and epic storytelling, we see a new side to Kong and his kingdom. We can't wait to share more this June!"

"Partnering with Titan Comics on Return to Skull Island allows us to expand the Monsterverse in exciting new ways. Bringing Skull Island from TV to comics lets us dive deeper into its mysteries, offering fans thrilling new adventures in Kong's world" said, Robert Napton, SVP & Publisher, Legendary Comics.
