"I read GIGA the other day and fell desperately in love with the world they build, and was desperate to spend more time in it and explore. You do NOT want to miss it." -- James Tynion IV ― Writer: "Something Is Killing the Children" (BOOM!),"The Department of Truth" (Image), and "Batman"
"GIGA...imagines a future where humans make their homes in the husks of mysterious massive robots and it's smart, thought-provoking gorgeous stuff." -- Scott Snyder ― Writer - "American Vampire," "Batman," Justice League" (DC Comics); "Wytches" (Image)

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for me
Giga: The Complete Series by Alex Paknadel is about an engineer who is trying to survive in a world that is dominated by gigantic mechas, commonly known as “Gigas”. Evan Calhoun is a disgraced engineer who is trying to scavenge parts to get enough points to buy food. While out searching for parts, he comes across a murdered Giga in the middle of the forest.Gigas are huge mechas that allow humans to inhabit them. There isn’t much known about them other than they are slumbering after fighting a world shattering war that ended many many years ago. They are just lying in wait for their next mission. The people who inhabit the machines treat them as shelters but also as Gods.Since Evan has found the dead Giga, he finds himself in this web. People from his past re-entered his life but he isn’t sure who to trust. He knows the only way he can go back to his quiet life is if he figures out who is behind the murder. If he isn’t able to find a viable suspect, he fears the authorities will blame him for the murder since he found the body. Will Evan be able to solve the murder before society starts to crumble around him?I thought the book was an okay read. It was hard to follow along with the story at times. It would jump back into the past or the author would hint it at something that wasn’t very clear to me. It took a long time for me to get into the story and then the ending felt rushed and incomplete. I felt like we were left to assume what the ending meant instead of being told. If you like graphic novels with giant robots, then you might enjoy this sci-fi graphic novel more than I did.
5.0 out of 5 stars Science Fiction as its best!
In a post-apocalyptic world, humans find refuge within colossal robots called Gigas, which have become their homes and shelters after a devastating war. These god-like machines provide protection, and religion has emerged around them, depicting the Gigas as saviors. The story takes an intriguing turn when Evan, a wheelchair-bound engineer and former caretaker of the Gigas, stumbles upon a lone Giga outside the city, its chest torn open. Investigating the scene, Evan suspects foul play. Accused rebel group, the Dusters, but evidence suggests a deeper mystery as the Giga's destruction appears to be an internal struggle trying to rip something out.With a captivating premise, the story unfolds with suspense and anticipation. The stunning illustrations bring the Gigas and characters to life, infused with distinct personalities and an evocative color palette that adds a forbidden atmosphere. This enthralling comic is a must-read for fans of TRANSFORMERS or Mecha Anime, promising an engaging tale of survival, faith, and a hidden truth waiting to be uncovered.This review was from an ARC provided by the publisher.
