"A gripping tale of survival and resilience, We Called Them Giants masterfully captures the enduring power of kindness and friendship in a shattered world." --Marjorie Liu (Monstress, The Night Eaters)

A poignant, romantic, and devastating story of a young girl who wakes up to find her world has turned upside down.

Lori wakes to find the streets empty. Everyone has gone. Or at least, nearly everyone. She's thrown into a world where she has to scrape by in the ruins of civilization, nearly starving, hiding from gangs when ...

They arrive.

The award-winning team behind dark fantasy smash DIE release their first stand alone original graphic novel.

Select praise for We Called Them Giants:

"Lush visuals bring this thoughtfully constructed tale to life." --Kirkus Reviews

"The story is fueled by bold narrative decisions... And the illustrations are sleek and dynamic, with invigorating depictions of movement throughout. Their expert showcase of colors emphasizes the contrasts between the bleak, barren environment and the potent, powerful 'otherness' of the aliens. We Called Them Giants is a thrilling graphic novel about alien contact on a postapocalyptic Earth." --Foreword Reviews

"First-person focused vignettes arranged in dynamic composition and rendered in electric color palettes drive this propulsive adventure about grief and trust." --Publishers Weekly

"A gorgeously haunting graphic novel." --Boing Boing

This is one of the most gorgeous graphic novels I've ever read. I want to frame every panel on my wall! The use of colour, in particular, is chefs kiss.

The story was pretty fun. You follow a girl who wakes up to find most of humanity is just *gone*. She pairs up with another girl and they try to survive by scavenging for tins of food and avoiding violent gangs. Fairy early on, they discover these two enormous giant 'creatures' have come from the sky, and the rest of the story follows them trying to figure out who they are, what they want, and what it means for their world.

Without wanting to give anything away, there is a pretty funny theme that runs as an undercurrent beneath this story, and i'm not sure if its actually trying to say anything, but the parallels were fun to uncover all the same.

It's only just now that I'm realising we don't really get any definitive conclusions to a lot of the mysteries that are presented in the story. I hope they'll do a sequel to tie up those loose ends.

I'm going to head out and devour everything by illustrator Stephanie Hans now ✌
