The Ogre Gods (Les Ogres-Dieux) is a French Fantasy/Horror graphic novel series written by Hubert Boulard (author of Beauty) and illustrated in black-and-white by Bertrand Gatignol, with the tone and aesthetic of a dark and gruesome Fairy Tale, telling the saga of an aristocratic dynasty of giants ruling tyrannically over a kingdom of humans.From a titanic castle situated on a mountain overlooking a great valley reign the Ogre Gods, a monstrous clan of giants served by armies of humans whom they kill and devour with impunity. The giant's rule is weakening however, as centuries of inbreeding has resulted in a physical and moral decline, with each generation becoming smaller than the last, increasingly brutal and depraved, and obsessed with restoring their former glory. When the Ogre King's youngest son is born scarcely larger than a human his father wants him killed as an embarrassment, but his mother sees in him the possible regeneration of the family, as he alone can mate with humans to breed new, healthy giants and break the destructive cycle of inbreeding.The story is told across multiple time periods, with the present-day being interspersed with passages from in-universe history books detailing the history of the giants and their kingdom. Four volumes have been released, although the series is seemingly concluded due to Hubert Boulard's death in February 2020. Petit (2014) Half-Blood (2016) The Great Man (2018) First Born (2020)

The Right of a Superior Species
 The Ogre Gods (Comic Book) / int_193adfd1
comment
The Right of a Superior Species: The God-King's rationale for a diet of humans is that humans eat animals because they're above animals, so naturally as the superior to humans he shouldn't be relegated to human food but rather feast on the humans themselves.

Grotesque Gallery: The impact of the massive amount of inbreeding is shown in the deformed appearance of many of the giants, which really underscores how monstrous they are in character.

A Lighter Shade of Black: Emion is objectively better than her husband, but not by much: she has just as little regard for the feelings of others (including her son in spite (because?) of her love for him, and sees humans as slaves and food.

I'm a Humanitarian: Although they consider themselves a separate species, and later as divine entities, all known giants (except possibly the Founder) are descended from human-giant couplings and have some amount of human ancestry, making their flesh-eating cannibalism to boot.

 The Ogre Gods (Comic Book) / int_26d0fa3b
comment
Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action: Thoroughly deconstructed; the first generation of giants in the family didn't even humor the idea of mating with humans, instead choosing to pair with each other due to a lack of viable alternatives. At one point Petit starts having sex with his much larger cousin, who complains of not being able to feel anything and prefers him performing cunnilingus.

 The Ogre Gods (Comic Book) / int_2fa6b075
comment
God Save Us from the Queen!: Downplayed only slightly with Queen Emione. While her genuine love for her son makes her somewhat sympathetic, she's still as cruel and callous towards humans as any other giant (thinking nothing of eating them or grabbing a bunch for her son to rape and impregnate), and her ultimate goal is to restore her family's dynasty to its former glory and ensure their tyrannical rule lasts forever.

The Caligula: King Gabaal is cruel, depraved and selfish, with more interest in indulging his various appetites and literally feasting on his subjects than doing any actual ruling. For that matter, most of the ogre kings (with one exception) were similarly oppressive and with no regard for humans as anything other than labour and food.

Founder of the Kingdom: Literally only ever recorded as "The Founder", he sired the family of giants and used them as soldiers in an unstoppable army to conquer all the land in the area. His history past this is Shrouded in Myth, only alluding to a desire to return with his new family back to his old family of giants and kill them all for rejecting him. He died without ever actually following up on this goal, without even informing anyone where he came from.

Vestigial Empire: The Ogre Gods originally carved out a vast empire, but since the days of the god-king they stopped embarking on military expeditions and rarely bother to leave their mountain, causing the loss of the conquered territories as the people no longer fear them, and reducing their kingdom to the lands around the mountain. They remain unaware of this due to generations of chamberlains misleading them about the lost territories and assuring them that all is well, as the last chamberlain to deliver bad news was squished.

Don't Go Into the Woods: The penultimate entry in the series introduces a deep, black forest inhabited by a barbarian tribe. They not only managed to repel the Founder and his army, they formed a pact of blood sacrifice with something to ensure neither he or his giants could ever invade. Whatever's behind it, there's an uncanny sense of danger felt by anyone who goes in there, and something attacks at night, leaving victims covered in bite marks that apparently leeched blood.

Aristocrats Are Evil
 The Ogre Gods (Comic Book) / int_96144372
comment
Aristocrats Are Evil: It's consistent throughout the story that the nobility are selfish, callous elitists who find the idea of using their position to exercise some responsibility to the common good rather than indulge themselves abhorrent. The royal giants are almost exclusively brutal tyrants with zero regard for the lives of their human subjects, and since the days of the god-king they dine on feasts of human flesh on a daily basis. Book 2 reveals that the corrupt and backstabbing human nobility are barely any better, for while they don't eat people themselves they're quite content to administrate the giant's empire and treat the peasants like slaves and livestock to feed to their masters.

Orifice Invasion: On hearing Nibie saying she plans to be queen (once Petit marries her), king Gabaal forces his finger down her throat (note that Nibie is about as tall as his forearm) before saying he'll keep his current queen.

comment
Persecuted Intellectuals: Commonly. The Philanthropist King let in philosophers and scientists to improve his reign and ease the life of his subjects but this just led to his kin rebelling against them. Change is being forced too quickly. So many of them ended up being stomped and smashed and eaten. As well as being used as scapegoats for the kingdom's various problems.

 The Ogre Gods (Comic Book) / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: Petit's father, King Gabaal, is so disgusted by his human-like size he demands his death seconds after his birth. Their relationship only deteriorates from there. Book 4 reveals that the Founder was this as well - he kept them his children locked in the castle (confining the girls to a single building) and was extremely strict with gender roles, training his sons to be an army of destructive killing machines and relegating his daughters to being baby factories to give him more giant soldiers. When his cruel son Orobaal murders his only decent brother Aristobull, the Founder simply says that Aristobull was too weak to become king before naming Orobaal his heir. It's also revealed that it was the Founder's idea to pair his children with each other in order to make the next generation of giants even bigger, and those who were naturally disgusted at the idea were forced into it.

 The Ogre Gods (Comic Book) / int_b5e1444a
comment
Myopic Conqueror: The eponymous beings only conquer because they believe their giant size makes it their divine right to do so. Their founder wanted them to become powerful enough to take vengeance on the family he claims rejected him, but died without actually informing anyone where he came from. Actually running their territories quickly fell to their human subordinates, and then most of the furthest ones were soon annexed back as they horribly punished any bad news, so the only things maintained were things they would directly see.

comment
Our Ogres Are Hungrier: While the species is mostly referred to as "giants", "ogre" is used interchangeably (or perhaps as more of a descriptor of their brutality) rather than denoting a separate race. Although the youngest generations of smaller, increasingly deformed giants more closely resemble stereotypical ogres compared to their ancestors, who looked indistinguishable from humans apart from their great size.

 The Ogre Gods (Comic Book) / int_b89ab683
comment
Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Malkus Elissen, the first "true" chamberlain, who elevated the office from little more than gatekeepers to being the most powerful human position in the kingdom. As the God-King was too lazy and arrogant to concern himself with minor things like actually running his own kingdom, Elissen became responsible for making his king's borderline-impossible requests a reality. Since then, being a Hyper-Competent Sidekick responsible for managing the entire kingdom essentially became the chamberlain's purview, although a number of them proved to be incompetent and/or corrupt.

To Serve Man
 The Ogre Gods (Comic Book) / int_bd8b2b0b
comment
To Serve Man: The giant's diet consists almost exclusively of humans, to the point of having a huge farm installed beneath their castle. This practice is actually relatively recent, as the generations prior to the God-King didn't eat humans, but as he considered himself divine he believed that mundane food wasn't good enough, and all other giants followed his example until it became their main diet.

Death by Childbirth
 The Ogre Gods (Comic Book) / int_d29a6629
comment
Death by Childbirth: The earliest generations of giants, always born bigger than their mothers could survive. The firstborn daughter of the Founder, especially, gets a disturbing recounting of how her gestation exceeded the usual nine months as she kept growing, wasting her mother away to sustain her growth and driving her mad through the entire harrowing process as she was rendered bedridden and forcefed while the Founder maintained cold satisfaction at the whole thing. After the Founder's era the only one big enough to kill his mother was the God-King, being "a giant among giants". In the present era, Petit refuses to have sex with his human partner, justifiably fearing that their children would be big enough to tear her apart from the inside.

Longest Pregnancy Ever / Mystical Pregnancy: This is Played for Horror: the Founder's first daughter gestated for sixteen months, growing abnormally huge due to her father's true nature, causing her mother incredible suffering as her body was twisted and drained by the fetus, and eventually killing her via traumatic c-section as the baby was too large to be born naturally. The Founder then proceeded to impose the same fate on dozens of other women, caring nothing for their lives as long as they gave him more giant children.

The Good King: King Eliabaal, known as the Philanthropist King, was the only giant king to actually try to improve the lives of his subjects and work towards a common good and create a fair society rather than have his subjects toil endlessly to feed the royal family, instituting just reforms and banning the consumption of human flesh. Naturally, the other giants think he's insane and overthrow him, reverse all his reforms and leave him to starve in a dungeon.

A God Am I: The God King believed himself to be a perfect, divine, immortal entity, and while he was far longer lived than the rest of his family to the point of outlasting his own grandchildren, he ultimately died of old age.

Our Giants Are Bigger
 The Ogre Gods (Comic Book) / int_dd963bd3
comment
Our Giants Are Bigger: The comics are essentially a treatise on man-eating fairytale giants and how they might operate, and their declining size is the main focus of the story. The Founder was a giant of mysterious origin who was only slightly larger than most humans, but the children he had with human women all grew huge, with each subsequent generation growing larger than the last until they peaked in size with the God-King, after which each generation grew smaller until the birth of Petit, likewise human-sized. The queen hopes for Petit to breed with humans to produce a new generation of healthy giants and break the cycle of inbreeding causing their decline. Our Ogres Are Hungrier: While the species is mostly referred to as "giants", "ogre" is used interchangeably (or perhaps as more of a descriptor of their brutality) rather than denoting a separate race. Although the youngest generations of smaller, increasingly deformed giants more closely resemble stereotypical ogres compared to their ancestors, who looked indistinguishable from humans apart from their great size.
