We Called Them Giants by Kieron Gillen

4.0

‘We Called Them Giants’ is a story of found family and survival at the end of the world.

This is a short but impactful graphic novel. In the limited time we spend with Lori, Annette, and those they meet, we gain a real sense of who they are as characters, offering a glimpse into how different people navigate survival in a post-apocalyptic world.

While the simplicity of the story felt appropriate to the narrative, I couldn’t help but wish for more time to get to know the supporting characters and the world they inhabit.

The art style is strikingly beautiful, with a colour palette that complements the setting and tone perfectly, really adding to the overall atmosphere. I look forward to exploring more of this captivating visual style in future works.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-arc. All opinions are my own.
