The first time I saw Huge Detective, it was so different from what I look for in a comic that I didn't make it past the first page. But something drew me back, and as I read it, the story weaved its magic. Adam Rose's story and Magenta King's art reminded me of reading A Voyage to Lilliput in Jonathan Swift's novel Gulliver's Travels. Give Huge Detective a look, and see if it's right for you!

When A STRING OF MURDERS and disappearances sweep the UNITED STATES, a human and a giant WITH SIZABLE DETECTIVE SKILLS are on the case!
After a race of giants emerged from deep sleep beneath the earth, a bloody conflict ensued in what became known as THE OMEGA EVENT. Eventually, a treaty is resolved and state of Brobdingnag is created, allowing humans and giants to co-exist harmoniously.
