This weekend, fans of classic monster movies, kaiju and visual effects spectacles in general are expected to flock to cinemas in droves to take in Kong: Skull Island. Interestingly enough, Legendary is giving both satisfied newcomers and longtime fans a chance to double dip in the very near future with the four-issue limited series Skull Island: The Birth of Kong.
Written by Arvid Nelson (the very same author who brought us the awesome prequel graphic novel that was The Great Wall: Last Survivor) and illustrated by Zid, it appears this miniseries will be told in non-linear fashion – or at least feature a time jump at some point.
For more on that front, be sure to check out this description:

It’s undeniable that prequel comics that tie into franchises in other media are steadily becoming a bigger deal. Case in point, a still young 2017 has already seen the likes of 24: Legacy and Riverdale penciled in to get that very treatment. And, much like those two, the same could be said for The Great Wall: Last Survivor, the subject of today’s review.
Set sixty years before the events depicted in The Great Wall, the upcoming major motion picture starring Matt Damon and Willem Dafoe, The Last Survivor chronicles the journey of a young man named Bao, seamlessly blending history, mythology and fantasy. So, if you happen to be a fan of any of those topics – or a combination of the three – this is something you may want to give a look.
