Is the world ready for yet another retelling of the classic Beowulf tale? In this version, a modern-day Beowulf tracks those with super-human powers which apparently come from some mutation. He's trying to help them, but we're never really told why. Of course, there are always shades of gray, so there are various other factions (including the wonderfully-named "Knights of the Blood") that appear throughout the series, with each usually ending in a shootout or with slashing of swords.


While the art is generally decent (it has that "gritty" feel to it), the later issues had Beowulf looking a lot like Abraham Lincoln's face with Arnold Schwarzenegger's body. The story needed a bit more time to give us a more coherent plot. But it had potential. It's a shame the series essentially ended when the publisher suddenly disbanded. ( )
