Im going to storytime this excellent graphic Novel
>Petit is the son of the Ogre King, and the littlest giant in the royal clan. Scarcely larger than a mere human, he is the latest sign of the family's rapid degeneration, which makes each generation smaller than the one before. His father wants him killed as an embarrassment, but his mother sees in him the possible regeneration of the family lineage, since he could mate with a human, just as the Founder of their lineage once did. Confused, she confides in great Aunt Desdée, the oldest of their clan, who was once dishonored because of her love for the humans, whom the Ogres consider little more than labor and food. But contrary to her guidance, she decides to raise Petit in the family traditions, including the violent impulses that this entails. So Petit grows into manhood, torn by the hunger he inherited from his upbringing and the sympathetic education he received from Aunt Desdée . . . will he find his place in this world divided between humans and giants, neither of which truly accept him? And will he survive the voracious appetite of his own monstrous family?

And The End. Did you liked it? This is the first volume, and there are two more volumes. Second one is about the Chamberlain, from his beginnings to his rise to power; And third one looks like its about Petit and wild-men from beyond the (Now defunct) Ogre Kingdom. I will post them when I can, if not today, maybe another time.

guess I would have to actually read the comic to figure out if this is more than just "toxic masculinity and how to destroy it the motion picture starring bitter manlet" but so far these are all red flags.

I read this a few days ago, it was pretty weird. Didn't expect to see it here
>>1069986
>"toxic masculinity and how to destroy it the motion picture starring bitter manlet
I'd say this is spot on.
The 'founder" himself was a bitter and probably imbred manlet who married some stronk independant warrior wamen and oppresses her into submission by making her carry his giant baby. He then ties her down when she tries to give her self a c-section in a pre-industrial society. She gains a "massive stomach and fully-grown breasts" and dies from forcing the fat ass out her uterus. He then knocks up tons of sluts and kills them all with his giant babies. The giants get bigger with every generation until they can't fit their cocks inside humans anymore, then they start shoving them in each other. After awhile they start shrinking again because of incest.
The mc can't control his hormones and has a rape fit. The comic shows him looming over some whore's massive breasts. I thought he was going to be the bad guy after this but no, he learns to respect wamen when he gets a gf. He still eats human flesh though. I guess toxic masculinity makes you cannibalistic?
Death is described as a "she", who kills the evil patriarch king.
mc gives oral to his down syndrome afflicted cousin. Then he botches an attempt to kill his father and the entire giant castle goes up in flames in a matter of minutes because his dad knocked over a few candles while trying to swat him. MC's parents fall off a cliff while fighting eachother and the peasants eat them. The end.
It seems to have some anti-pregnancy message, probably in relation to toxic masculinity.

You guys are really reaching to hate this comic. This comic seems to be more about how royalty saw themselves as gods, larger than life to the peasants beneath them. The villains aren't evil because they're men but because they perpetuate this idea. Even the mother seems to think this, the only reason she's not a villain is because they can't force her son to do the same. Death being described as a female is probably based on the phrase "fate is a cruel mistress." The anti-pregnancy stuff is just petit terrified of his children killing his wife and is most likely based on how even the more normal of royalty can carry genetic defects due to years of inbreeding.

No, the artist is just all over the place with size inconsistency. Its generally pretty hard for the human brain to wrap his brain around big things because on a biological level an ape has no use for a cathedral or a skyscraper, and huge is just huge in your head.

It's most likely because 'death' is a feminine noun in Latin and other romance languages. It is 'la mort' in French when referring to death as a concept. Same in most Slavic languages. Translators just kept the original pronoun.

I finally finished reading. The world is actually pretty interesting and novel, and premise is not something that's been done to death. It's competently written and the art is nice too. It reminds me a bit of Vives' work, but it is less loose, more detailed, and with black and white used to a great effect. Architecture looks especially good, considering all wavy and loose lines. It's pretty hard to make ornate buildings look good with loose line work.
The book manages to make prose inserts feel natural and actually contribute to the story in meaningful way. Many comic creators have difficulties doing that, and pages of text tend to feel jarring and take readers out of the book.
I would argue that this aspect is handled better than it was in Watchmen.
Thanks for story timing it.

It is pretty clear that comic criticizes and lampoons royalty, especially inbred and insane ones like some English, Spanish, French, and German royals. Giants all look like abominations produced by Hapsburg family. Current king's look was based on multiple monarchs (to me it looks like a hybrid of Leopold I and Charles IV), and triplets resemble young Charles V. God-King sounds like an exaggerated version of Louis XIV of France. Whole inbreeding to keep bloodline pure and power in the family is straight out of Hapsburg's playbook. Inbreeding leading the dynasty to its doom is what happened to Spanish Hapsburgs. Mismanaged finances, loss of territory, and technological stagnation is what doomed Austrian-Bavarian branch of the family.
To a lesser degree it is a criticism of eugenics, superiority complexes among royalty and nobility and their sociopathic tendencies, lust for power, and brutal society without compassion they all lead to.
