Annotation: Beowolf is the strong superhero who decides to help out his father’s friend and slay the monster that plagues the Danes. He is able to kill the dragon and a few other bothersome characters along the way.
Personal Reaction: Again there is too much superman/superhero. For me it distracted from the narrative but the story is clear enough and does not stray horribly from the original legend to render it useless as an introduction to the story. The back matter with a glossary and pronunciation guide of terms is very helpful for young readers.
Illustration: The coloring and action frames support the fast paced storyline very well.
Use of Media: The graphic novel format helps support the clean storyline and the superhero like personification.
