Five years ago, Image Comics published Joe Kelly and JM Ken Niimura‘s I Kill Giants. It is now an upcoming American fantasy thriller film directed by Anders Walter from a screenplay by Joe Kelly, based on the original Image comic series. The film stars Madison Wolfe, Imogen Poots, Sydney Wade, Rory Jackson and Zoe Saldana. And now they are reissuing the collection with a cover from the movie, Collecting I Kill Giants #1-#7.
Barbara Thorson is your new hero: A quick-witted, sharp-tongued fifth grader who isn’t afraid of anything. Why would she be..? After all, she’s the only girl in school who carries a Norse war hammer in her purse and kills giants for a living… At least, that’s what she’ll tell you…but where does the fantasy end and reality begin in the heart of this troubled girl? And what if she’s telling the truth?
Brought to life with unexpected tenderness by Joe Kelly and JM Ken Niimura, I Kill Giants is the bittersweet story of a young girl struggling to conquer monsters both real and imagined as her carefully constructed world crumbles at the feet of giants bigger than any one child can handle.
It will be in comic stores on April 4th.
