We Called Them Giants: A New Chapter in the Collaboration of Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans
Renowned for their work on the RPG-horror series Die, Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans have captivated audiences with their gripping and subversive tales of tabletop fantasies. The duo’s ability to seamlessly blend narrative and visuals has led to the creation of immersive and unforgettable stories that push the boundaries of storytelling.
As fans eagerly awaited their next project, Gillen and Hans have now revealed their latest endeavor—a standalone original graphic novel titled We Called Them Giants. Departing from the sprawling narrative of Die, the duo sought to create a smaller, more intimate story that explores themes of connection, survival, and transformation.
Exploring the End of the World Through Lori’s Eyes
In We Called Them Giants, readers are introduced to Lori, a young girl who wakes up to a world that has drastically changed. Humanity is on the brink of collapse, and the remaining survivors are faced with a new threat in the form of mysterious and terrifying creatures. As Lori navigates this chaotic landscape, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and resilience.
Gillen explained, “The story of We Called Them Giants is rooted in the idea of communication across insurmountable odds. It explores the complexities of relationships and the profound impact of connection in the face of adversity. Through Lori’s eyes, we witness the beauty and devastation of a world on the brink of extinction.”
The Collaborative Genius of Gillen and Hans
For Stephanie Hans, the opportunity to bring Gillen’s vision to life was a creative challenge she eagerly embraced. “Working on We Called Them Giants allowed me to explore new design possibilities and delve into a narrative that is both epic and introspective,” she said. “The end of the world tale we have crafted is a blend of nostalgia, contemplation, and emotional depth.”
Together, Gillen and Hans have crafted a story that defies genre conventions and invites readers to ponder the intricacies of human connection in the face of monumental upheaval. Through Hans’ evocative artwork and Gillen’s poignant storytelling, We Called Them Giants promises to be a captivating and unforgettable reading experience.
Stay tuned for the release of We Called Them Giants on November 12th, where readers will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a world unlike anything Gillen and Hans have created before.
