A cosmic event sparks an invasion of giant monsters in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the only effective weapon the military possesses to combat them is a hybrid soldier sharing both Human and Daikaiju DNA. \u003cstrong\u003eDan Brereton\u003c\/strong\u003e wanted to paint a comic book epic about giant monsters beating the tar out of each other and wreaking havoc, but also explore the catastrophic effects of such an event on the area of Northern California where he grew up.\n\nHe began sketching and plotting what would become his obsession for the next two years. As the character of Jack (affectionately named \"Yochu\" by his creators) began to take shape, so did rogue Special Agent Jill Sleet. A tough, independent outsider with gifts of her own, thrust into the monster invasion, Jill is a pivotal character (with a wicked crossbow!) The story takes us deeper into the Monster Territories as Yochu and Jill face one menace after another.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n \t\u003cli\u003eHardcover graphic novel over\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003e 20%\u003c\/span\u003e larger than comic book size, to really let the bombastic, fully-painted story come to life in your hands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003eBrand-new story pages\u003c\/span\u003e in the form of an \u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003eepilogu\u003c\/span\u003ee scene to the tale, as Jack and Jill reunite for a new mission!\u003c\/li\u003e\n \t\u003cli\u003eA\u003cspan class=\"bold\"\u003e Rogues Gallery of Guest Artists \u003c\/span\u003ewho love monsters as much Dan does, masterfully depicting the world and characters of Giantkiller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \t\u003cli\u003eDifferent artwork on the jacket front and back, and on the actual book front and back, with silver embossed titles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \t\u003cli\u003eEdition of 1000 in all, 500 deluxe signed, slipcased edition with bonus items, and 500 regular hardcovers \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(our copies of this edition are signed but this edition is otherwise unsigned).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n \t\u003cli\u003eThere is also a special edition with a full page original drawing, limited to 20, available exclusively from us.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59640016601374,"sku":"GIANKHS","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/product_g_i_gianhs-giantkiller-dan-brereton-signed-book_2.jpg?v=1784483506","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/giantkiller-by-dan-brereton-hardcover-signed-no-slipcase","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
