Something HUGE is coming… set in a world where humans and giants live in uneasy peace, two detectives from either side of the divide must work together to solve a bizarre crime!
Perfect for fans of fantasy detective fiction, it’s Chinatown meets Roald Dahl’s The BFG, in an all-new comic from superstar team of writer Adam Rose and artist Magenta King!
Something huge is coming!
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.
Yet tragedy threatens to shatter the peace, and an unlikely patnership is formed between Detectives Tamaki and GYANT.
As the pair attempt to stop the criminal AT LARGE, they find themselves involved in a mystery BIGGER than either could imagine.
Written by Adam Rose (Corollary) and illustrated by Magenta King (Jenny Zero) this all-new story is a neo-noir fantasy with hard-boiled giants and grizzled cops, as these most unlikely partners must work together to solve a convoluted mystery, endorsed by Patton Oswalt!
Adam Rose is a writer and educator based in California. After working as an English teacher and an adjunct professor at Gnomon, he created the graphic novel Corollary for Source Point Press.
Magenta King is an artist based in Brazil. Having worked on numerous indie comics, King illustrated the series Jenny Zero for Dark Horse, as well as illustration for Netflix, ESPN, and other worldwide brands.
“It’s fantastic! Noir, homicide and giants. A weird mash-up that absolutely works. Go grab it!!!” Patton Oswalt
"Rose and King devour detective and giant lore like Cronos himself, delivering a fresh, modern spin. Mythology often uses giants to explore our place in the world, Huge Detective elevates both genres to new heights." - Michael Oeming, co creator of Powers
“Enormously clever and as high as high-concept gets, this is crime fiction writ large.” Charles Ardai, (Gun Honey)
“Huge Detective takes a wild premise and then goes places with it.” Mark Russell (The Snagglepuss Chronicles, The Flintstones and Batman: Dark Age)
"A real double-take of a high concept, perfectly executed. Well worth your time. Alien Nation at Brobdingnagian scale." - Alex Paknadel (The Sentinels, Red Goblin, X-Men)
"Huge Detective is the rare read that's completely surprising and new. If you're looking for a book where you'll genuinely have no idea what's coming page to page, strap in. This is the comic for you." Jeremy Whitley (Sea of Thieves, Princeless)
"Adam Rose’s Huge Detective delivers us into a shockingly original world where what we know isn’t real is depicted with such clarity and emotional honestly that it will grow from your imagination to become reality. Groundbreaking!" JC Chandor (Margin Call, All Is Lost, A Most Violent Year)
"Human kaijus, an unsolved murder, and a delusional inmate-- all rolled together in Rose and King's intriguing story. I'm itching for the next issue to see how they all come together!" Norm Konyu (The Junction)

"Rose and King conjure up a gritty murder mystery that balances fantasy with hardboiled detective work. It's the perfect blend of imagination and mystery in the unlikeliest of circumstances." Lotusland Comics
"King delivers some fantastic art. I really enjoy the visual style of this series." The Super Powered Fancast
"An enjoyable read with a unique premise. The comic uses it to play with scale, emphasising the human/huge dynamic and exploring their tensions. It’s the kind of comic that will scratch that urban fantasy detective itch." How To Love Comics
"a truly engaging story." Geek Vibes Nation "I am happy to say that a universe where giants roam the Earth does not disappoint." Geek Dad
"Huge Detective’s unique blend of the noir/thriller genre and giant monsters makes it one of this year’s most memorable crime comics." Screen Rant
