We Called Them Giants is a post-apocalyptic tale of survival. And, there are giants. And, a ruthless gang.
Two of them to be precise. It seems like most of humanity has disappeared with those left behind just struggling to survive. A ruthless gang terrorizes the streets. Lori and Annette just want to live. But what do the mysterious giants want?
Nothing? They’re just here to exist? Did this go way over my head?
I think I would have rated this story a lot higher without my preconceived notion that the story was building to something “huge” from author Kieron Gillen which it never found. It was a big bummer to me, and for me, it felt like the story just ended.
My previous experience with Gillen was through his Star Wars work. I really had a great time with all off his stuff over there, so I was excited for this book.
The artwork from Stephanie Hans was incredible. I loved everything about it from the characters to the world to the giants. I loved the design of the human characters, and the giants were really unique and cool looking.
There’s a lot to love in this book, but it just didn’t really come together for me in the end. I’m sure it lands perfectly for others.
Thank you Netgalley and Image Comics for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
