I Kill Giants by Joe Kelly
4.0

This story was extremely powerful, and really highlights the strengths graphic novels can bring to telling a difficult story, with a unique perspective.

The story starts off a little slow, but as you get to know Barbara, and gets hints of what is happening in her life you really begin to feel for her.

By the end of the story I think most people will be holding back tear of some sort.

The illustration style I think was the thing that I had the biggest problem with, at times it was extremely hard to tell what was happening in the frames, what the hints of the monsters being drawn were; however, the pacing, writing, and rest really makes this a minor problem. The art isn't bad, it just isn't clear in segments.
