The second volume
I am waiting with excitement for the next albums of my favorite series. GiantsI liked them right away because I had never explored a similar universe before. Children from four corners of the world are attracted by an unknown force, when they start to follow it, they awaken the creatures – the title giants. In the second volume, as I mentioned, the main character is Siegfried – an extremely intelligent boy. Due to his disability (he is confined to a wheelchair), he spends all days at home with his guardian and, which is easy to predict, he is lonely. One day, a water giant, Adrtel, appears in the boy’s life, showing him how to enjoy life. Soon after, the friends meet the girl they met in the first volume – Erin, and her soul mate – Yrs. Together, the protagonists face the mighty Alyphar, who, as it turns out, is led by a mysterious group of scientists.
Scenario + drawings
The authors of the album are Lylian (screenplay), James Christ (drawings) and Lorien (colors), while the comic was translated from French by Nika Sztorc. The album released by Egmont will appeal to all fans of extraordinary stories about equally extraordinary creatures. The story is captivating, details included, colors vivid. Giants are also different sizes of frames, thanks to which we have the opportunity to see our favorite heroes in close-up, with details. It is true that the second volume surprised me a bit less than the first (the freshness effect), but I must admit that I am looking forward to the next, already third, part of the adventures about giants. I can only tell you that there will be two heroes in it – a girl and a boy.
The puzzle of immortality
Giants comics should be appreciated for many reasons. The stories depicted in them are often lined with children’s drama. The heroes are not happy in their reality and only the relationship with the giants makes them happy. Initially, they feel a fear of changes, but with time they notice that friendship can change a lot in the life of a (young) person. There is also an interesting perspective of a mysterious businessman, fascinated by the mystery of immortality, whose actions can bring great misfortune to all mankind. How many volumes will the series count? And how will the adventures of the giants end? – we will learn this from the next volumes, which will also be reviewed in the Last Tavern.
In the meantime, take a look at the review of the first volume .
