Batman / Grendel #1

In "Devil's Bones," Gotham City becomes the unlikely stage for a chilling clash when the remains of a long-dead figure—Rose—are put on display, drawing the attention of the mysterious Prime. With Batman already struggling to protect the city, Prime’s violent intrusion at the exhibit forces a confrontation that pushes the Dark Knight to his limits. Written and illustrated by Matt Wagner, this pivotal issue blends gothic dread with relentless action, all rendered in bold, atmospheric art and vivid color by Gregory Wright and Android Images. The cover, also by Wagner, captures the tension with stark, haunting detail.
