Previously, the Justice League found themselves caught between the Titans when Kong lost all memory of his alliance with them. Now, they’re stuck fighting the Suicide Squad on Skull Island while a mega-sized Killer Croc smashes his way into the brawl. Godzilla’s gone MIA for now, but Hollow Earth holds new threats, Superman’s powers are draining, and Lex Luthor is scheming as usual. Buckle up: the world’s mightiest heroes are barely holding it together.

“Escape from Skull Island” is a monster mash with teeth: Issue two drops us right into the chaos of Kong’s rampaging, the League’s scrambling, and Killer Croc is somehow kaiju-sized and eager to bite off Kong’s head. The Justice League tries to calm Kong down, but a giant crocodile brawl is just too good to pass up, right? Meanwhile, the Suicide Squad shows up with their usual blend of lethal incompetence, which only adds gasoline to the fire. Superman and Supergirl attempt damage control, Wonder Woman juggles giant threats and Task Force X’s backstabbing, and Batman’s rolling out the Bat-mecha, which, naturally, gets ripped apart like a toy. The whole thing feels like a gleeful love letter to fans who just want to see massive creatures and costumed icons collide.

Here’s the thing: this book knows what you’re here for a huge, destructive spectacle and classic DC drama. Writer Brian Buccellato’s script leans hard into pulp blockbuster territory. Watching Killer Croc go Godzilla-mode is bonkers in the best way. The moment when Kong and Croc slug it out feels weighty and satisfying, thanks to Christian Duce’s detailed art and Luis Guerrero’s punchy colors. I love how they capture the sheer scale, Kong’s fur looks rough enough to brush against, and the Hollow Earth panels drip atmosphere.

But it’s not all roars and punches. The character beats land too, like Superman realizing Hollow Earth is sapping his powers, or Supergirl playing Fay Wray to calm Kong. Some moments get a bit goofy; the Suicide Squad feels undercooked here, more like a distraction than a threat. And the pacing? Godzilla’s absence is noticeable. It’s his book too, after all. With so many moving parts, Skull Island, Hollow Earth, Suicide Squad, and Luthor, you can feel the strain of juggling it all in 22 pages. Still, there’s something genuinely fun about seeing the League outmatched, forced to improvise as monsters trash everything around them.

Visually, this issue slaps. Duce and Guerrero bring Skull Island and Hollow Earth to life in all their primal glory. The lettering work by Tyler Smith gives the dialogue snap, especially when Peacemaker mouths off or Superman drops a grave line. On the downside, the story stumbles under its own weight. Wonder Woman oddly needs rescuing more than once, which feels off. And Lex Luthor’s plan is still fuzzy what’s his real endgame? The script sets up big stakes but doesn’t quite tie them up yet.

If you’re picking up Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2 for high art, you’re doing it wrong. This is monster mayhem with superhero spice. It’s big, loud, messy, and worth it just to see Kong slap Killer Croc into next Tuesday.
