Great story. The art was hard to understand at first, and for a long time I had no idea what was going on. But as the story unfolded everything came together for a very fun, stick-with-you story.

I will be the first to admit that my experience reading this may be unique and bias, but as a father of a 5th grader (whose mother went through cancer diagnosis and treatment) this story spoke to me in a powerful way. It requires the reader to look at Barbara with interest and compassion, because her interactions with the outside world are uneven and often unfair. If you give her that, you are rewarded with a story told both by nuanced art and tension-building words that moved me to tears.

This was such a beautiful story! Hard to read, at times, it blends reality with fantasy in the most tasteful and compelling way. The art style was incredibly unique and charming as well!

Wow, dit was gewoon slecht. :| De hoofdpersoon is onuitstaanbaar, vreselijk, en agressief, en zegt vreselijke dingen die je nooit, maar dan ook nooit, moet zeggen. En sorry, hoor, sneu voor wat er in haar leven gebeurd, maar dat excuseert haar niet van alle dingen die ze deed en nog steeds doet.
De stukken met de moeder waren verdrietig, maar ik was nog steeds nijdig om dat die meid maar met alles wegkomt dus kon ik niet volledig het moment in komen.
De art was zo-zo. Niet echt de beste, maar het past wel bij het verhaal.

Soy una matagigantes merece la pena solo por lo maravillosa que es su protagonista. Barbara es joven, pero muy inteligente; pasota y cínica, pero también luchadora e idealista. Y como Don Quijote, lucha contra gigantes que solo ella ve. Cuando tenga 8 años quiero ser como ella. Como cualquier superhéroe, Barbara tiene mantiene una doble vida: cuando no está organizando su siguiente batalla contra los gigantes, debe ir al colegio, sacar adelante sus clases y lidiar con profesores que no comprenden su genialidad, matones que no le dan ni un respiro y alguna que otra incauta que quiere convertirse en su amiga. Si me aceptáis un consejo, no queráis saber más de la historia, enfrentaos a este comic a ciegas... Lo disfrutareis más. Opinión ilustrada con imágenes del cómic en el siguiente enlace:
