A few years ago when “Beowulf” the movie came out the screenplay was turned into a comic book written by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary. I watched the movie in theaters but I hardly remember anything about the film. The comic helped bring back some of this lost memory. Speaking just on this particular version of the story and not on the movie or the original old English text the concept is very well played out taking on a story of its own. That is all I liked about this version.
The characters seemed to have no morals making everything about blood and gold.
Sex sells so of course all the women have big chests with almost everything hanging out of her dress. On the men’s side Beowulf decides to fight Grendel completely naked. Why he has to do such a thing I will never know. Perhaps he’s wearing a tiny loincloth. All the while he looks more than smug when’s nude.

Taken from "Beowulf" based on the screenplay by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary.
Beowulf himself seems cocky and ungrateful. He even took Hrothgar’s young wife after the old king jumps from the top of the castle committing suicide.
Grendel looks as if he’s a dumb ogre smashing and thrashing about just killing these men.
The only redeeming quality about this version is the gallery of photos in the last few pages.
