Grendel: Devil's Crucible--Defiance (2024)

A new Grendel story from visionary creator Matt Wagner! Grendel Prime has returned to Earth, but things are not as he left them.

Grendel Prime will need to hide his identity as he explores his suddenly hostile home planet.  Featuring a standard cover by Matt Wagner and a variant cover by Brennan Wagner.

On a treacherous future Earth that has turned against all followers of Grendel, Grendel Prime finds two rare allies. He gets a short history lesson on his now-hostile home world before encountering a group working for the Necro-Lords, who want him captured. Featuring a standard cover by Matt Wagner and Brennan Wagner and a variant cover by Antonio Fuso and Brennan Wagner! • Grendel Prime returns to Earth, as Matt Wagner’s epic Grendel series continues!

Attacked by vampires while traveling to Hari and Ptolomey’s safe camp, Grendel and his new allies barely survive the trip to a protected clan base, but they—like the few who remain in the Cult of Grendel—refuse to die.  • Featuring a standard cover by Matt Wagner and Brennan Wagner and a variant cover by David Hitchcock. • Four issue series.

After surviving the Anti-Grendels and a double vampire attack, Grendel Prime, Ptolemy, and Hari Smythe finally make it to the Grendel Grotto, the base of the Hounds of Orion.
