Lori 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.
With stunning visuals, a moving plot, and an open ending, We Called Them Giants is such a fun graphic novel! I liked the themes of found family, trust, and communication across barriers. Lightly dystopian and somewhat post-apocolyptic, We Called Them Giants is a book I would recommend to everyone!
