Once & Future, Vol. 2, Old English by Kieron Gillen, Dan Mora

​     The world’s most lethal grandma and her reluctant sidekick of a grandson are back. England is still/once again under attack from legendary characters of yore. This time it’s Beowulf and Grendel, because you gotta have someone awesome to follow up the King Arthur act.
   Going into this knowing what to expect, having read the first book not too long ago, made it more enjoyable. Sure, it’s kind of a silly monsterhunting Grimm tv show style thing and sure, an old lady and her untrained for this grandson shouldn’t be able to be quite so dangerous to creatures like that, but in the end it’s all just pure fun. The art is great, really great, one striking panel after the next, courtesy of a very talented Dan Mora. And the bookish nerds will be delight to bookishly nerd out over the author’s use of Anglo Saxon myths and legends.
    So yeah, quick entertaining read. Fun was had by all. Recommended.
