SNEAK PEEK: Kieron Gillen & Stephanie Hans' Upcoming Graphic Novel 'We Called Them Giants'

"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

Image Comics is pleased to reveal a first-look excerpt of the forthcoming We Called Them Giants by the bestselling creators behind the three-time Hugo Award-nominated, two-time British Fantasy Award-winning series Die—Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Immortal X-Men) and Stephanie Hans (Secret Wars 1602: Witch Hunter Angela, Black Bolt)—with lettering by Eisner Award & Ringo Award nominated Clayton Cowles (Adventureman) and colors by Becca Carey (Radiant Black). First announced in an exclusive scoop at Gizmodo, this epic, post-apocalyptic original graphic novel is set to hit shelves this Fall from Image Comics.

Gillen and Hans first made waves with their breakout hit dark fantasy Die in 2018. Die quickly caught reader attention and the series skyrocketed to the top of the sales charts and launched Hans’ career into superstardom. It went on to appear on many Best of the Year lists, including that of Tor.com, and snagged multiple award nominations and wins.

We Called Them Giants follows main character Lori, who 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.

We Called Them Giants promises readers the poignant and devastating story of a young girl who wakes up to find her world has turned upside down. Perhaps best described as The Last of Us meets The Iron Giant and perfect for fans of Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen’s Descender and Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda’s Monstress.

We Called Them Giants hardcover (ISBN: 978-1534387072, Lunar Code: 0824IM307) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, October 30, and at independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, November 12.

We Called Them Giants will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

"Lush visuals bring this thoughtfully constructed tale to life." —Kirkus Reviews

"A truly wonderful, emotional and elegantly beautiful story." —Capes & Tights
