An Eisner Nominated, International Manga Award-winning fan-favorite! Barbara Thorson is your new hero. A quick-witted, sharp-tongued fifth grader who isn’t afraid of anything – not the principal, not bullies, NO ONE. Why would she be..? After all, she’s the only girl in school who carries an ancient Norse warhammer in her purse and kills giants for a living...
At least, that’s what she’ll tell you…but where does the fantasy end and reality begin in the heart of this troubled girl? And what if she’s telling the truth?
Brought to life with unexpected tenderness by JOE KELLY and KEN NIIMURA, I KILL GIANTS is the quirky, bittersweet story of a young girl struggling to conquer monsters both real and imagined as her carefully constructed world crumbles at the feet of giants bigger than any one child can handle.

About the Author
Disney/Marvel's Academy Award(R)-winning feature Big Hero 6 utilized the characters and team created by Man of Action as credited in the main titles. The film marked the first time Disney turned Marvel comic book characters into an animated film and is also the first film based on a comic book I.P. to win an Academy Award(R).
The quartet collectively worked on the largest franchise characters in comics from Superman to X-Men before refocusing on creating their own original worlds/characters for their original comic books and graphic novels published through their Man of Action imprint at Image Comics. In comics, Kelly's Eisner-nominated I KILL GIANTS (illustrated by Ken Niimura) received numerous awards and accolades domestically and internationally including the "International Manga Award" in 2012 and was named the one of the "Top Ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens" by the Young Adult Library Services Association upon its release. Now I KILL GIANTS has been adapted as a feature film with a script by Kelly and producers including Man of Action Entertainment, Chris Columbus' 1492 Pictures, XYZ Films and Treehouse Pictures.
Kelly's legendary Superman story, Action Comics #775: "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?" was turned into a hit DC Universe 2012 animated film, Superman vs. The Elite, scripted by Kelly. He's long been credited with revising and revitalizing Deadpool. Whenever life allows, Kelly is proud to teach Writing for Animation at his alma mater, NYU's Department of Dramatic Writing, where he earned his MFA.
Kelly's current comic book projects include the dark irreverent comedy, BAD DOG, FOUR EYES, the genre-splicing revenge tale about dragon-fighting in depression-era Manhattan, and BANG!TANGO, a crime noir thriller that is violent, sexy, and perverse -- while simultaneously an examination of violence, sex, and perversion. Man of Action Entertainment has also produced the feature film OFFICER DOWNE based on Man of Action original graphic novels.
Man of Action Entertainment will also be creating/writing/producing a new Mega Man animated series with 26 episodes in 2017 for Dentsu and Capcom and they are also returning to their original creation as Executive Producers of a new Ben 10 series for Cartoon Network. If you want to know more about Man of Action, you can follow them at their not-so-secret headquarters Online: www.ManOfAction.TV
At the crossroad of Japanese, European and American comics, Ken Niimura has developed a dynamic, vibrant and humorous style of his own.
His breakthrough in the industry came with the publication of the acclaimed graphic novel, I Kill Giants, earning co-creators illustrator Niimura and writer Joe Kelly nominations for the prestigious Eisner Award and won the International Manga Award in 2012. I Kill Giants was also adapted into a hit film!
Niimura is also the author of the short story collection Henshin, published originally in Japan by Shogakukan.
