[order]
 
“If you are a fan of smart, fun comics, you will definitely want to turn your attention to this book.”
—Read Comic Books
“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)

“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)

www.godsofasgard.com
Xeric Award Winning graphic novel

 “This is one of the indie comics
gems of the year.
”
–Randy Lander, Comic Pants

“You have a thrill coming 
your way.”
—Ain't It Cool News

“I enjoyed it a lot. Seriously. 
A lot. Best comic I've read in quite a while.”
—Sean Kleefeld, Kleefeld on Comics

Picture
"Often critics of comics as an art form have sneered that there has never really been educational comics. But Gods Of Asgard is both literate and entertaining. It also gives the reader a good background in the kind of heroic fiction that has evolved into the modern comic book."
—Geeks of Doom
