Most people know the story of Beowulf and if you don’t I will give you a very short plot of the book.
Beowulf is has superhuman strength who kills Grendel a monster. Grendel’s mother is not happy that her son has been killed so she is out for blood, Beowulf’s blood.
But back to the awesomeness of this graphic novel. The pictures are dark, but it gives the reader the since that they were right with Beowulf defeating the monsters.
