I Kill Giants

Got this one at New England Comics in Quincy MA.

Title: I Kill Giants
Date: March, 2018
Publisher: Image Comics
Writer: Joe Kelly
Artist: Ken Niimura

Middle school student Barbara Thorson prepares for the arrival of a giant in her Long Island town, in between dealing with bullies, D&D, and a school psychologist who is trying to understand her. And as horrifying as the signs of the approaching giant are, there are something even scarier that Barbara is not willing to face.

This was beautiful. Heartbreaking in places, and brilliantly uplifting in others. The characters all felt very real, and the fantasy story elements are wonderfully visualized in Ken Niimura's art.

Rating: 9.5/10
