Grendel #13

In "Bedevilled: First Part (Chapter 13)," Brian, adrift in New York, stumbles upon a Tujiro-like mask that ignites a transformation he can't resist. As the city closes in, he crafts his own Grendel mask and unleashes a violent reckoning on a security guard. Written by Matt Wagner and illustrated with stark intensity by Bernie Mireault—whose inks and colors, alongside Joe Matt’s work, heighten the story’s dread—this pivotal issue captures a man unraveling, one mask at a time. The cover by Bernie Mireault and Ken Steacy perfectly frames the descent, with shadows and sharp angles mirroring the psychological fracture within.
