The series
At a glance.
Mike Cavallaro's fantasy graphic-novel series follows Eowulf Wegmund, a descendant of the monster-hunter Beowulf, as she bounces between world-saving adventure and ordinary middle-school boredom. Back from a summer of interdimensional heroics, she is dragged into fresh trouble each book: an old supervillain tearing her sleepy town apart, then a conspiracy of disappearing monster movie-stars and a stolen Helm of Balor at her dream job in a magical supply shop. Each time she must team up with unlikely allies and confront a dark, buried past. Fast, funny and big-hearted, the series delivers wisecracking heroics, ever-wilder worlds and a genuinely iconic heroine, spun out of Cavallaro's Nico Bravo books but standing on its own.

Eowulf Wegmund, monster-hunter
Eowulf balances monster-hunting heroics with everyday middle-school life.
The series arc carries Eowulf from her boring New Jersey suburb, where an old supervillain forces her to team up with the class outcast, out to the lost island of Celestina and her dream job at a magical supply shop, where a conspiracy of vanishing monster movie-stars and a stolen doomsday helmet pull her into a cosmic plot. Each book is a self-contained monster-hunting caper, but Eowulf's world, allies and confidence grow across them, so publication order rewards readers. Fast, wisecracking and big-hearted, it keeps escalating the worlds and the wildness while keeping its iconic heroine at the centre.
