Godzilla and Kong

Have you ever found yourself curious about the origins of giant lizard Godzilla? Maybe you’ve stayed up at night wondering where King Kong came from? Well, Legendary Comics has you covered! Released today, Monsterverse Titanthology collects two graphic novels: Skull Island: The Birth of Kong and Godzilla: Aftershock. Well, this new collected edition contains updated cover art, as well as never-before-seen sketches and art.

Synopsis:
In Godzilla: Aftershock, the King of the Monsters becomes an endangered species as an ancient terror rises from the depths of the Earth that will test Godzilla like never before. A shadowy figure stalks Dr. Emma Russell as she travels the globe with a team of Monarch operatives to unearth clues of an ancient terror returning to threaten humanity, while Godzilla clashes in a rivalry as old as the Earth itself. Written by Arvid Nelson with art by Drew Johnson and coloring by Allen Passalaqua.

Synopsis:
In Skull Island: Birth of Kong, discover the secrets of Kong’s mythic origins as the cryptozoological adventurers of Monarch return to the birthplace of one of our world’s greatest wonders. As a journey of discovery becomes a desperate escape mission, a team of operatives fights to survive the hidden dangers of the island – and each other. The standalone Skull Island: Birth of Kong graphic novel is currently out of print with the Monsterverse Titanathology offering fans a new chance to revisit the highly popular adventure. Written by Arvid Nelson with art by ZID.

According to that synopsis, the King Kong origin is out of print. You’ll only find it in the Monsterverse Titanthology. That’s a good a reason as any to pick it up. They’re available now in print and digitally. Stock your shelf with some sick Godzilla and King Kong action!
