I was less than impressed with I KILL GIANTS. The blurb leads you to believe there’s something else going on and this is all about a troubled girl making up stories. But from reading the first issue it just seems like she’s a quirky little girl with a bitchy older sister who doesn’t feel like dealing with the world so she plays tabletop games. Maybe if there was more here I would get into it more, but I wasn’t all that endeared to any of it.

I did like the art. A little goofy, a little serious. It seems to be in line with the intent of the premise. Unfortunately the art alone isn’t going to get me through a comic. The story needs to be there too and it’s just not doing it for me. The real life “drama” seems overly dramatic for the purpose of the story but isn’t actually that dramatic. I just feel like I’m being led to think a certain way about what’s going on, but that’s not what I’m actually seeing on the page.

I received a copy of this comic from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
