We Called Them Giants: An Elegantly Beautiful and Intimate Journey

Review Overview

We Called Them Giants, wonderfully written by Kieron Gillen with stunning artwork by Stephanie Hans, is a new captivating graphic novel that is a story of giant beings from another world in a post-apocalyptic survival setting.

Lori wakes up to find herself alone, that is until she meets Annette. As they struggle to survive in this harsh new reality, they must navigate empty streets and evade dangerous gangs. If this seems difficult, their world is turned even more upside down when giants arrive. These mysterious beings add another layer to the already challenging existence, sparking curiosity and fear in equal measure.

Kieron Gillen, Stephanie Hans and letterer Clayton Cowles, the creative team behind DIE, is back at it again with We Called Them Giants. This tale blends elements of science fiction and drama seamlessly. Not only does the story deal with a post-apocalyptic world, but the complexities of communication between beings of vastly different intelligences, offering a thought-provoking look at what it means to truly understand one another.

We Called Them Giants has amazing emotional depth. Despite the fantastical elements at play, the characters feel real and relatable, grappling with loss, hope, and connection. This story feels a bit smaller, even with the giants, and intimate opposed to their work on DIE.

While Gillen has crafted an excellent story, the graphic novel is brought together by the gritty yet elegant artwork from Stephanie Hans. She brings the emotional journey to life, capturing the beauty and brutality of the surroundings with unique style.

We were drawn into this graphic novel by the simple yet striking cover and were hooked after the first few pages. The imagery and story are super compelling. As we dove deeper into the graphic novel the story got more complex for an unforgettable reading experience. While we are big fans of single issue comics, this being an encompassing story was a perfect way to experience.

We Called Them Giants is a truly wonderful, emotional and elegantly beautiful story to escape that crazy world in which we live. The stellar writing by Kieron Gillen and stunning visuals from Stephanie Hans give us a profound story in which we see both humans and alien beings work together to survive.

The We Called Them Giants hardcover hits local comic shops on October 30, 2024 and bookstores everywhere on November 12 from Image Comics.
