We Called Them Giants by Kieron Gillen
4.0

Probably more like 3¾, but am bumping it up bc the colours were fucking stunning and I am shallow like that sometimes. 

The problem sometimes with the self-contained GN is that they can either contain too much story for their relatively short length, and would be better served as a mini-series, or that they drag along bc maybe they should have been part of an anthology or released as a one-shot. This is the latter. 

I didn't dislike reading this, and will probably even buy it for my kid bc they will LOVE the art, but the story itself was fairly predictable and dragged on for more pages than it needed to.
