BUZZ FOR THE BEAST OF WOLFE'S BAY:
|
“a fun read”
—The AV Club “A hidden gem amongst independent comics.”
—Sci Fi Saturday Night “4 out of 5 Nerds.”
—Following The Nerd “Evensen's dialogue is crisp and his artistic skills shine very well here.”
—Kleefeld on Comics “quirky, quixotic, and upbeat”
—Dr. James Bucky Carter, comics scholar |
“If you are a fan of smart, fun comics, you will definitely want to turn your attention to this book.”
—Read Comic Books “Worth a look... a good paranormal tale that will please the genre lovers.”
—Ain't It Cool News “When a perpetual grad student is called in to help investigate mysterious attacks thanks to his expertise in paleoanthropology, he gets more than he bargained for when he’s teamed with a no-nonsense sheriff and his brilliant daughter.”
—Nerdist.com “Despite the lack of nude celebrities, Evensen’s modern adaptation of this ancient epic (Beowulf) seems both entertaining and a paleo-anthropological intrigue. He promises us comedy and romance to go along with the mystery and danger… and Sasquatch!”

“The DNA for this story of an anthropologist and folklorist teaming up for a Sasquatch hunt runs through millennia of pop culture history, from the original campfire story--Beowulf—through The X-Files, Doctor Who and Douglas Adams. And it's damned funny, rife with terrific satire of academia, academics and the allure of cryptozoology.”
—Sean Kottke (Goodreads) |
“The Beast of Wolfe's Bay is an adaptation of the best kind, reinterpreting its mythic source material into something fresh with just a dash of geekery and humor thrown in for good measure. Evensen's modern day take on the Beowulf saga is a must-add to any truly cool spring break reading list.”
