 Beowulf #7 (2005) $2.99 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
An ongoing series that follows the modern-day adventures of the legendary hero of the epic poem," Ortega told CBR News. "In Speakeasy's version of the character, Beowulf didn't die after becoming king, and has instead evolved into something of an immortal character who has walked the Earth for thousands of years. You could almost say he's like Thor meets Cain. Wulf's a bad-ass with a lot of wisdom and history behind him. "The series blends elements of fantasy, horror, and superhero action, and features a number of other interesting characters including Nicky Conrad, Wulf's friend and possible love interest, and Gauchere, his major nemesis who's in the process of going through some unexpected changes that will make him even darker and more deadly than before. While one might compare Beowulf to Thor or Hawkman, Ortega feels the character is unique enough to stand on his own two feet without simply being a "riff" on a different character. "Wulf is over a thousand years old and he's the hero. Usually the ancient guys are the villains for some reason, or a secondary charcter. Living a thousand years without going nuts or turning evil gives him a very unique perspective. Available: 03/01/2006 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
