Beowulf by Gareth Hinds

I'm a huge fan of the old Beowulf tale--I used to teach it in World Lit years ago. So if this graphic novel gets the tale out to more kids, that's great! The translation of the tale would still be a difficult read for reluctant readers, but there are pages of fight scenes with no words at all.  Those violent scenes weren't my cup of tea, but artwork was very impressive.
