BUZZ for THE BEAST of WOLFE‘S BAY:
“You know what I love about this book? It’s proof that you can make a winning comic that is smart, fun, and still retains a level of seriousness. The Beast of Wolfe's Bay is a step in the direction where comics should go: not all-ages, but all-audiences.”
—Michael Moreci (writer, Hoax Hunters) “Evensen (Gods of Asgard) brings what could have been a rather generic take on the Sasquatch mythology to life with heart and humour.”
—Shelf Abuse “A fun read.”
—The AV Club “Quirky, well-researched, and carefully executed... I’d like to give Erik Evensen a high-five.”
—Geeks of Doom “Packed full of twists, turns and terror, but with a brilliant light tone, The Beast of Wolfe’s Bay is a fantastic read.”
—Pipedream Comics “I have become jaded. Too many reality shows, too many fake scares for my liking. I want something real. I want interesting people. I want to care about the humans and be in simultaneous awe and fear over the unknown. What I wanted all along was The Beast of Wolfe’s Bay.”
—Team Hellions “A hidden gem amongst independent comics.”
—Sci Fi Saturday Night “Worth a look... a good paranormal tale that will please the genre lovers.”
—Ain't It Cool News “A fun, smart story with great art.”
—Comic Book Therapy “Sharp and well-written.”
—Comic Spectrum |
“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.”
—Erik Burnham (writer, Ghostbusters, TMNT) “If you are a fan of smart, fun comics, you will definitely want to turn your attention to this book.”
—Read Comic Books “What we have here is a quality book, a fantastic blending of the ancient and the new, and proof that old stories can be re-imagined in a way that make them fresh for a new audience.”
—Bag & Bored “Crossing the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf with Bigfoot is actually both a clever and interesting way to bring the poem into modern America, and give it an excellent twist in the process.”
—ComicBuzz.com “Despite the lack of nude celebrities, Evensen’s modern adaptation of this ancient epic (Beowulf) seems both entertaining and a paleo-anthropological intrigue.”
—Comicbooked.com “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 “4 out of 5 Nerds.”
—Following The Nerd “If you’re a fan of the monster hunter genre and really smart comics, this is for you.”
