Beowulf #4

Based on Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary's screenplay, IDW's Beowulf #4 brings the epic Anglo-Saxon legend to vivid comic form. Mark A. Nelson's cover pulls you straight into the tension — a battle-worn warrior crouching shield-in-hand and sword drawn against a shadowed stone wall, while a haunting female visage looms in fiery light above a ghostly army, and a monstrous creature seethes in the flames above them all. It's a richly layered image that captures the mythic scale and dark atmosphere at the heart of this adaptation.
