Blurb from a JoCoNaut:

A glorious graphic novel reimagining Beowulf as a story about kids in their treehouse who don't want to grow up too soon. It's ostensibly for kids, but really for anyone who remembers what childhood could aspire to be. It's in full alliterative verse, and runs from the histories at the start of the epic, to the basic setup of the story, the many digressions and boasts as the characters engage with each other, to the book's conclusion at the victorious outcome of the battle against Grendel (or rather, Mr. Grindle, whose yard happens to be right under the treehouse). It is masterfully done, not just a single find/replace gag stretched out to fill a book but rather a full reshaping that deeply respects both the original epic and the dream of ultimate childhood freedom that it so beautifully captures, while often being laugh out loud funny. The illustrations are wonderfully detailed and evocative. (They are not by Zach.) The book is not terribly long, but it's lovely.

Content warnings include Construction and electrical wiring dangerously not up to code. Grave danger of the risk of abrupt loss of childlike wonder and freedom. Excessive sugar after bedtime.

Held for Kelly and Zach Weinersmith's "A City On Mars" moving to the main ballot.
