A sequel to the graphic novel Skull Island: Birth of Kong and a prelude to the film Godzilla vs. Kong, Kong's upcoming prequel will follow a group of highly skilled military pilots gathered on Skull Island to see who has ‘the right’ talent to take on a dangerous mission in Hollow Earth. One of the pilots, Audrey, is haunted by memories of a monstrous clash with one of Godzilla's titanic rivals, which left deep scars. When Skull Island is attacked by Camazotz, a bat-like Titan, Audrey must face her inner demons, and finding her home newly threatened, Kong must rise to confront this usurper who would plunge the world into perpetual night.
