Bea Wolf by Zach Weinersmith and Boulet. I probably would not have heard of this graphic novel if I wasn't a fan of Boulet. And while I enjoyed reading it, I get the impression that it's a lot of energy, craft and talent devoted to something a little bit inconsequent. In a nutshell, Bea Wolf is the retelling of Beowulf in verse and all, but with kids as the leading characters and a dour, sombre adult as Grendel (Mr. Grindle). It's very funny, and wacky as all hell, but I finished it with a kind of "is this all it's about?" kind of impression. It's very possible that if I had known Beowulf, or even better read it, I might have seen more of the tour de force that went on behind this wacky adaptation. I feel like I didn't get it, is my view in the end. #comics #graphicnovel #epic #beowulf
