About The Book

2024 Foreword Indies Book Of The Year Finalist

"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
