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...
