To expand the world of the MonsterVerse a little more, Legendary and Warner Bros. have released a number of graphic novels to look at these versions of Godzilla and Kong. In Kingdom Kong by writer Marie Anello and artist Zid, Kong faces off against Camazotz, who is essentially a giant bat. But it's an appearance in the comic from a recurring character who reveals the origin of the perpetual storm on Skull Island. Dr. Houston Brooks returns in the MonsterVerse graphic novel after Cory Hawkins played him in Kong: Skull Island and Joe Morton portrayed him in Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
When Ghidorah plagues the planet in King of the Monsters, the villainous three-headed dragon is able to whip up devastating storms in its wake to cause even more chaos. As Dr. Brooks explains in Kingdom Kong, the last cyclone on Skull Island is a "gift from the devil to remember him by." Because Skull Island has its own entry point to the Hollow Earth, a "vortex" inside the cavernous tunnel ensures the storm will continuously revolve around it. This is why Kong eventually has no choice but to abandon his home.
It's impressive that Ghidorah's presence is still felt throughout the MonsterVerse, even making something of a return in the ending of Godzilla vs. Kong as the beast's consciousness takes control of MechaGodzilla.
Luckily, the two titular Titans are able to take it down, which could be seen as Kong's revenge for devastating his tropical home. If you're a fan of the MonsterVerse, it's worth taking a closer look at the comics to see what else you might've missed.
