Tue, 21:17: Recent Reads: Bea Wolf. Zach Weinersmith's illustrated (by Boulet) re-telling of the saga of Beowulf is a word-hurrying world-shaping wild tale that takes a story, turns it on its head as you read it out loud for the sheer joy of its language. An essential - and beautiful - read.
Tue, 21:25: Recent Reads: Once & Future - Old English. More of Kieron Gillen's take on the Matter of Britain. As stories escape the otherworld, unlikely defenders must battle first Beowulf, then Grendel. A rest home is an unlikely Heorot, but there we make a stand. Bonus Hot Fuzz references!

Wed, 23:09: Recent Reads: Once & Future - The King Is Undead. Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora's graphic tale wakes a sleeping Arthur, but not how you'd expect. In a land of stories a wild story is a danger, and someone must put it down. But the only tool we have is yet more story. The good stuff.
