I Kill Giants Tp
Barbara Thorson, a girl battling monsters both real and imagined, kicks butt, takes names, and faces her greatest fear in the bittersweet coming-of-age story called "Best Indy Book of 2008" by IGN. AICN says "...a great mini full of eccentricity, humor and humanity that I not only highly recommend, but hope to see get some well deserved attention come Eisner time."

Posted by deadspace on 05/11/09 at 07:13 PMSo excited to finally read this.
Posted by brianmaru on 05/11/09 at 07:32 PMHave all the issues and I'm still getting this
Posted by Ipitythefool on 05/11/09 at 08:06 PM@Ipitythefool I read this in singles as well, but am still getting this for myself and several more copies for friends/family. If they don't do a hardcover for this I will be getting my singles bound for sure. Best book of last year.
Posted by mistersizzle on 05/11/09 at 09:28 PMThis will be included in my next order from Amazon. Would get it at my shop but they cut their subscribers discount from 20% to 10%
Posted by mrmister on 05/11/09 at 09:38 PMI'm glad to see Joe Kelly finally getting some respect. Hes been one of the most consistently original writers in mainstream american comics.
Posted by WinTheWonderboy on 05/11/09 at 11:01 PMI'm another one who might end up buying this for 2 or 3 other people.
Posted by ohcaroline on 05/11/09 at 11:14 PMsorry, iFanbase, zero interest. not my cup of tea
Posted by edward on 05/12/09 at 12:28 AMI'll be getting this in a week or two, when I put in my instocktrades order. Most likely if I dig it I'll double dip and buy the hardcover when that comes out.
Posted by drakedangerz on 05/12/09 at 01:50 AMI better like this or the iFanbase will pay!!
I'm really looking forward to this, not my usual cup of tea (shades of Edward)
Posted by Urthona on 05/12/09 at 10:27 AMThe only way this story could not be your cup of tea is if your cup of tea is not good stories.
Posted by Cooper on 05/12/09 at 10:45 AMha Cooper I totally agree
@edward - the solicit doesn't sound like my cup of tea either. i see "coming of age" and I think "meh" but this series is just incredible. it's the kind of book you could recommend to anyone and be confident they'll like it. i'm another who will probably buy a copy of this for a friend or two.
Posted by deadspace on 05/12/09 at 10:58 AMOn second thought maybe I'll just end up picking this up at the shop tomorrow
Posted by mrmister on 05/12/09 at 01:14 PMI bought the singles of this one & am now thinking about also picking up the trade. Yup, it's just that good.
Posted by BookGnome on 05/12/09 at 02:41 PMDamn this has a lot of pulls for a trade.
Posted by Ruo21 on 05/12/09 at 06:03 PMHey wasn't this supposed to cost 10 bucks at one point? Man, for some reason I remember that being in some solicit somewhere...
AH WHO CARES!!! I'm so looking forward to finally reading this; I held off on jumping onboard aroudn issue 4 and hunting down back issues online but now I'm definitely going to give it a shot.
Posted by ShonenRafa77 on 05/12/09 at 08:01 PMtotally going to pick this up loved the issues, will make a fine addition to my bookshelf
Posted by convoy83 on 05/12/09 at 08:30 PMYeah, this one's been talked up a lot!! I'll look into this one at the shoppe
Posted by DenverDave on 05/13/09 at 01:48 AMI can't wait. I've heard nothing but good things about this book. Hey, I didnt want to read about zombies and now walking dead is my favorite comic book. THe art is so sick!
Posted by twooldridge on 05/13/09 at 10:21 AMMy POW just a fantastic story that reads great in one sitting. Made my hour of lunch fly by and was worth every penny I paid!
Posted by forestjwp on 05/13/09 at 02:33 PMPicked this up today and plan on finishing it tonight. Is this something I can pass on to my 10 yr. old daughter? At a glance, it seems appropriate. I guess I'll know better tonight.
Posted by WetWork on 05/13/09 at 03:31 PMmy store didnt get this....
Posted by smeeeeee on 05/13/09 at 05:53 PMlol, avg rating for this book right now is 20 out of 5.
Posted by deadspace on 05/13/09 at 09:54 PMDon't want to overhype it, but this was my favourite series of the past year. It's touching and beautiful. I will be picking this up even though I already have the issues.
Posted by Crippler on 05/14/09 at 12:02 AMAargh!! My store was sold out. Both locations.
Posted by zattaric on 05/14/09 at 06:15 PMThis is the very first time I've picked up a trade based on hearing about it on iFanboy. Boy, I wasn't disappointed. I read the whole thing in one shot, and I was in tears at the end. I'll be getting this for a couple of girls I know who have expressed interest in getting to comics. I know they'll love it as much as I did.
Posted by Mandi on 05/16/09 at 12:20 AMWow. I really can't express just how much I loved this book except to say that it qualifies as what may well be the most heartbreakingly beautiful comic I've ever read.
I definitely have to thank the iFanboys - most especially Ron - for pointing me towards this incredible piece of work.
Posted by Ilash on 05/16/09 at 12:25 PMScore! This was FANTASTIC.
Comics = Art + Story ...this was so good in both departments. Why I love comics.
Posted by Urthona on 05/16/09 at 01:35 PMI saw the 'Too Cool to be Forgotten'-esque ending coming sooner in this than I did in 'Too Cool' but it still got me :'(
Posted by OnASunday on 06/17/09 at 08:05 PM





Really looking forward to getting this. I wish I didn't know the ending, but it's been so long since I heard about it, I think I forget most of it.
