My Cultural Diet

I enjoy a good post-apocalyptic tale, and We Called Them Giants starts out as you’d expect. A young woman wakes up to find that nearly everyone has vanished from the face of the Earth, and the few survivors are forced to eke out a hardscrabble existence while avoiding vicious gangs. It’s a brutal, cynical existence… and then the godlike giants arrive, their aims and purposes completely unknown. Have they come to care for the survivors? To enslave them? Or just ignore them altogether? After its intriguing setup, We Called Them Giants didn’t do much for me. Not that I expect every post-apocalyptic story to be contain epic, mind-blowing revelations, but Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans’s story left me wanting more. Upon reaching the final panel, my only reaction was “That’s it?”
