Written by Matt Wagner. Art and cover by Tim Sale. Hunter Rose was only the beginning. Christine Spar and Brian Li Sung: merely pawns in the Devil's grip, incubating the spirit of Grendel until it was ready to explode into the world and spread across all of human consciousness like a virus infecting its host. Now, several hundred years in the future, as mankind slowly pulls itself together after a third World War, opportunistic religions and obsessive corporations battle for attention. But one force rises above it all and dominates the public psyche -- there's a new drug in town, it's euphoric, it's deadly, it's called Grendel! 32 pages, FC. Cover price $3.50.

Written by Matt Wagner. Art and cover by John K. Snyder III. The year is 2512, and the kingdom of Grendel is at hand! Several centuries have passed since the mask of Grendel has been worn, and in that time humanity's survived a third World War, the fall of Western Civilization, and the rise of an all-powerful church state. But as the new Catholic Vatican stands as a towering fortress, anchored in the mountains of Colorado and fanatically driven by the depraved Pope Innocent XLII, two men rise up against the church's corrupting influence. The first is Orion Assante, a man determined to expose the pope for who and what he really is. The second is a mysterious madman wearing the all-too-familiar face of Grendel. The Devil has risen again! 32 pages, FC. NOTE: Re-presenting the original Grendel #24, with newly remastered color by Jeromy Cox. Cover price $3.50.

Written by Matt Wagner. Art and cover by John K. Snyder III. Taken completely off-guard by the sudden, violent, and very public re-emergence of Grendel, corrupt Pope Innocent XLII begins marshalling his political forces in an attempt to both capture the elusive Devil and prevent the inevitable public relations fallout that's sure to follow. The word "Inquisition" is in the air, and many are sure to suffer before all is said and done. Meanwhile, corporate investigator Orion Assante struggles to decipher what these new developments mean to the case he's building against the Church, and to worsen matters, loose cannon Pellon Cross -- a deadly Confederacy Of Police officer -- has decided to make Grendel his problem, too. The key players are in place, but who's pulling the strings ... God or the Devil? 32 pages, FC. Cover price $3.50.

Written by Matt Wagner. Art by Jay Geldhof and John K. Snyder III. Still reeling from the social and political shock waves left behind by the appearance of the new Grendel, corrupt Pope Innocent XLII withdraws from the public eye, pulling his own circle tighter as he tries to figure out how to turn the deadly situation to his advantage. Meanwhile, as Orion Assante tightens his grip on the Church's shady dealings, so too does COP officer Pellon Cross put the squeeze on Assante and his associates. Convinced of a connection between Assante and the maniacal Grendel, Cross digs deeper into Orion's dealings. And unknown to all around him, poor Eppy Thatcher, the man behind the Grendel mask, slides further into despair and madness, and his tortured soul forever caught in a tug-of-war between God and the Devil! 32 pages, FC.

In the 26th century, all hell is breaking loose as an unholy trinity of corrupt religious officials, a stalwart corporate investigator, and a maniacal vigilante clash over the construction of a new church tower. It's not the tower itself that's the focus of this fight, but the powerful and deadly secret that festers behind its holy façade. In the days of Pope Innocent XLII, the toll of a church bell is a death-knell to its followers--and the entire world!--unless Orion Assante can put a stop to the Church's horrifying plan. But Confederacy of Police officer Pellon Cross is on a mission to put a stop to Assante, and the Pope has declared an Inquistion into his efforts. 32 pages, FC. Cover price $3.50.
