About the Book
Ever since their world-shattering war ended, the slumbering mecha called 'Giga' have been both gods and habitats for the surviving humans. Then disgraced engineer Evan Calhoun discovers a murdered Giga, and the very fabric of society starts unraveling around him.
A GIANT MECH MURDER MYSTERY.
Nobody knows why the skyscraper-sized mechs known as ‘Giga’ fought their
bitter, centuries’ long war. All they know is that when the fighting finally
stopped, the dormant Giga became humanity’s new habitat and new gods in one.
When disgraced engineer Evan Calhoun finds an apparently murdered Giga, his
society and the fascistic tech-centered religious order that controls it are
rapidly thrown into chaos.
From writer Alex Paknadel (Friendo, Turncoat, Incursion) and rising star
John Le comes another Vault & White Noise partnership about what happens
after the mechs stop fighting.
Collects the complete five-issue series.
For fans of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ultra Mega,
and the Department of Truth.
"A well-thought-out sci-fi series...." -- AV Club
"A world where people take shelter in the rotting husks of giant mechs -
smart, fun, beautiful stuff." -- Scott Snyder (Batman, American
Vampire, Justice League, Wytches)
"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 (Something is Killing the
Children, House of Slaughter, Department of Truth)
My Review
I didn't understand GIGA the first time, and I had to reread it twice to grasp the giant mecha war set before the events of the five-issue run. Alex Paknadel has created a vast giant robot mythology that serves as the foundation and environment of GIGA—a gritty science fiction tale told through stunning illustrations by John Lê. The central plot involves a murder mystery—an apparently murdered GIGA discovered by a disgraced engineer, Evan Calhoun.
Overall, I enjoyed reading GIGA—the three times I read it. ╌★★★★✰
