In 2017, artist Miguel Valderrama and writer Carlos Perez Valderrama introduced comic readers to a world of terror, trust, and titans in Giants, the Valderramas’ first American comic. Giants takes place in a kaiju-ridden, post-apocalyptic world, in which much of humanity has retreated underground.
Now, Dark Horse Comics is set to return readers to the treacherous depths and monster-infested surface of the Valderramas' world with Giants Vol. 2: Ghosts of Winter.
Dark Horse describes Giants Vol. 2 as "a post-apocalyptic kaiju story like no other" that's focused on found family. Living in a world ruled by monsters isn't easy – especially when human emotions and a lack of resources directly conflict with the ability to survive as a community.
Dark Horse's official description reads, "After the loss of their leader--and father figure--the apocalyptic found family "the Forsaken" struggle to survive. When a fight among monsters forces them to move farther beyond the limits of the unknown--and with the way back blocked--they're faced with more change as they encounter a group of monster hunters. When they learn that killing monsters has unintended consequences, tensions rise, loyalties are tested, and new beasts enter the fray!"
Newsarama has a first look at the book, which you can view below.
Giants Vol. 2: Ghosts of Winter will hit comic shelves and digital platforms everywhere as one collected trade paperback on August 22, with a cover by artist Miguel Valderrama.
