Kaiju hit hard. Family hits harder.
Trying to keep your family from imploding is a tall order. Kit Hobbs is about to find out it's an even taller order when that family has been piloting the Titan that protects New Hyperion from kaiju for generations. Between a spiraling brother, a powder keg of a father, and a whole bunch of twenty-story monsters, she's got her work cut out for her.
We Ride Titans #1 puts a new spin on the mecha genre by exploring the cost of fighting monsters on a family, with plenty of giant robot action and family drama. Read Full Review

Writer Tres Dean creates characters and family drama that keep your interest. I want to know the answers to the questions above, and that is a great indication that the writing was excellent. Artist Sebastian Piriz also shines. The Kaiju and the Titan visuals make you feel like you are in the middle of the fight. Read Full Review
We Ride Titans #1 is a solid start to the series. It delivers something new from a genre that was getting a little played out. There's tension and a lot of dynamics that are easy to relate to. As expected, this is a debut to make sure to grab from the shelf and absolutely check out the second issue when it arrives. Read Full Review
There's a new sci-fi kaiju comic that we should all be paying attention to and it's called We Ride Titans. While a bit short in its narrative, the visual style is unmistakably cool, with a main character you'll want to follow as she faces kaiju and kicks ass. Read Full Review
Fans of the mecha and kaiju genres will definitely want to check out We Ride Titans. It will also appeal to LGBTQIA drama enthusiasts, though it remains to be seen if Kit's sexual orientation is tied into the reasons she left her family behind. In either case, this is a series to keep an eye on. Read Full Review
As an opening issue, I definitely appreciate that it didn't spend it all on action and introducing things simply through that alone. We get the action side to see how both Titans and kaiju look and act here and some of the world setting of how it all works, which factors into why the Hobbs family is looking to Kit for help with her brother as part of the corporate/family legacy thing. It's looking like this is Kit's story more than anything else and it certainly has potential but she's going to take time to get a good read on with a gruff exterior that keeps even her girlfriend at a bit of distance. I'm intrigued to see what's to come, especially based on the team behind it. Read Full Review
We Ride Titans#1 is a solid debut that focuses on the people rather than the monsters. While the big battles are surely coming, this is a nice breath of fresh air from the tropes that the genre is comfortable with. Read Full Review
At its core, We Ride Titans' debut feels like a family drama, but Im perplexed as to where this arc will go. There are elements of mystery, maybe a sprinkling of thriller, and the potential for more high-octane action. How well this eclectic mix will hold together remains to be seen but if you had said I would start off the year with something like this, I doubt I would have guessed Id have enjoyed it as much as I did.

"We Ride Titans" #1 is a half-baked, cliche-filled, almost decent debut issue. Read Full Review
