King Kong

Product Information

In the film, Kong falls off of the Empire State Building, while in the novel he jumps off to grab at one of the airplanes, fighting to the end.

It was an uncharted island somewhere off the coast of Sumatra, it was a land whispered about by merchants and sailors. It was a place so unbelievable that no one dared believe in its existence. Except one man, the extraordinary showman Carl Denham. Many will, of course, remember his show on Broadway and its tragic ending. But New York is not where the story ended, it is where it began.

Here? Not so much. As well as ratcheting up the dial of the subtext, the author also takes away any of those moments where Kong endears himself to us. Gone is any empathy with our poor furry schlub, once so much more relatable then the Rhendosaurus or the '54 Gojira. It's much more of a straight two-fisted pulp adventure with a standard 50's American kaiju. After the pier shooting, Sportcoat realizes he wants to get sober. He goes to visit Sister Paul, one of the original founders of Five Ends Baptist. She tells him how Five Ends got started. It involved a young Guido Elephante preventing a young Officer Potts from getting shot. That same night, Guido asked a passerby, Sister Paul, for help in driving away some stolen cargo. Later, Guido repaid that favor by helping them secure the land for the church. He also asked them to hide the Venus of Willendorf statue for him, something only Sister Paul (and now Sportcoat) knew about. In October 2023, both Legendary Comics and DC Comics published a seven issue miniseries called Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong which features King Kong and Godzilla battling heroes from the Justice League. [53] To promote the series, both characters appeared on variant covers on other DC titles. Kong appeared on the variant covers for Detective Comics #1074, [54] Batman and Robin #2, [55] and Shazam! #4. [56]
