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.
