How did the natives learn to speak let alone English? Could have something to do with Marlows time on the island he obviously wasn't just mute with them.
Yeah, but if that was the case then
Spoiler:
how come they didn't even attempt or talked a bit of broken English when Marlow was there? Why when he left the island that is when they learned?

How does a species that eats itself, not just others of it's kind but itself not go extinct? Their birth rate must be insane.

Gotta love how the threat analysis says it's more of a threat to itself than humans. Especially after how they introduced the things, yeah less of a threat to us and not being a threat are two different things. :lol:

For some reason the comic isn't allowed here in Canada based on the fact I tried to order it at the comic place where it wasn't there...What's up with that?

I prayed Sandra wouldn’t catch a whiff, talk about Endgame....just gross.

I noticed that too. I get the Diamond Previews catalogue every month and in the solicitation it says "Only Available in the U.S. No U.S Territories!"
The only other time I see that is for some of the nude covers for Cavewoman. They won't ship them to Canada.

Considering I'll be going to Duluth in the Summer, maybe there is a chance I'll be able to get it if I manage to find it.

Most likely consider Aaron and his group supposedly will learn the history between the Kongs and Skullcrawlers, plus the Iwi are openly talkative now. Also would imagine they wanted to include Kong's full height for the profile of his species.

Finally got #1. A good start to the series. Definitely will continue with it.

Is issue 2 even out yet? I can't find it anywhere.

EDIT: My copy says issue 2 comes out in May, but I'm seeing digital copies say issue 2 comes out in June or even September. :dizzy:
