Gigantic

In the late 2000s, Dark Horse published this five-issue miniseries from writer Rick Remender and artist Eric Nguyen, a sci-fi horror tale set in a near-future where a mysterious, gargantuan entity emerges from the Pacific Ocean. As the creature begins to terraform the planet, humanity is forced to confront both the alien threat and the dark secrets of a shadowy corporation. Nguyen's lush, detailed artwork brings a visceral, organic feel to the story, which explores themes of environmental collapse and corporate malfeasance. This compact, ambitious series stands as a memorable collaboration between two creators at the start of their careers.
