About this Collection

This crossover collection brings together the two 1990s Batman/Grendel miniseries, Devil's Riddle and Devil's Masque, written and illustrated by Matt Wagner. It pits the Dark Knight against Wagner's own creation, the masked and deadly Grendel, in a clash of vigilante philosophies. The volume also includes the earlier Batman/Grendel one-shot, Devil's Bones, and other related material from the crossover event.

In "Devil's Riddle," Matt Wagner crafts a chilling crossover where Batman confronts Prime, a relentless force with a human brain hidden within a mechanical shell. As the two clash in a brutal, high-stakes battle, the mystery of Prime’s skull—and the reason it’s hollow—begins to unravel. With Wagner handling every aspect of the interior art and inks, and Gregory Wright’s colors deepening the shadows, this 2008 DC/Dark Horse collaboration delivers a tense, visually striking showdown. The cover by Matt Wagner captures the eerie intensity of the encounter, setting the tone for a story where past and future collide.
