Well, it has been a long time coming, but it is finally here: the pilot for Enormous, based on the comic of the same name by Tim Daniel and Mehdi Cheggour. Fans of this site have known that we’ve done a lot to help publicize the comic, including running the entire original one-shot on the site, so we are excited to finally see the stars align and for this to come out.
But enough from us. You can watch the full pilot above, written by Trollhunter‘s André Øvredal and directed by BenDavid Grabinski. Enjoy!
And, hey, once you’ve watched that, how about some covers for the comic, which is returning this June from 215 Ink? First up is the standard cover by series artist Mehdi Cheggour:
