Giant Days by Non Pratt, Boom! Studios
3.0
3.5 rating
Giants Days has to be one of the funniest comics I have ever read. The stories are always amusingly outlandish and the wit is lovingly sharp, but most laughs come from the overexaggerated facial expressions. Naturally, I was a little worried that this story wouldn't hold up as well being in a less visual medium. I was half right.
This book is better for people who have already read the comics. I wouldn't give it to someone as an introduction to the series, as it doesn't too much of setting up and introducing the characters. The comic does something similar, but I'm a little more forgiving of that seeing as that usually happens within that medium.
Other than that, it's very faithful to the characters and tone. No one seemed out of character and nothing seemed too far-fetched. Once you've started with the comic, be sure to give this one a read.
