I picked this up but couldn't remember how I'd heard about it or what it was about. About midway through it really picks up and it becomes apparent just how strange and cool of an idea it is. 

The art is cool and really conveys the culture and style of this place in Kentucky. I only wish it could have been dragged out longer since it was such an enjoyable read. I'm now looking into some of the creators' influences ("House of Mystery" and "The Witching Hour").

I stumbled upon this randomly at work and love Beowulf so obviously I had to read it.
The story is a great reimagining. I would never have placed it where they did but it fits so well. The idea of Beowulf as the leader of an all-female biker gang? Love. It.
There are some slight story changes, but they really enhance this version to build on mystery. It’s a little short but it covers everything it needs to in that time. The artwork isn’t my favorite but it still lends to the grit and gore well.
