Giants Beware! by Jorge Aguirre

3.0

Somewhat conflicted on this...it's crazy cute and made me giggle, and I love the French fairy tale aspect, and I love that a girl is the brave giant-hunter and her friends were equally heroic. But why-oh-why must the one black character in the entire comic fall into the same "super-duper magical Negro" archetype? I even kinda liked the little historical context-ish nod at the end that he appears to be a Moor (not that kids will likely get that), but even this detail just seemed to be thrown in there. Hmmm...I'm going to continue to think about this....
