Grendel #33

In "Chapter 33: Devil's Demise," Orion tracks Grendel to a crumbling tower, where he confronts Cross and barely escapes as forces aligned with both vampire and human factions close in. Matt Wagner's layered narrative reaches a fever pitch as the truth behind Innocent’s identity is revealed, and the Sun Gun’s destruction sets the stage for a final, devastating clash. With Grendel and Innocent locked in battle, and Mother Aimée’s fate sealed, only Cross remains—surviving the storm in a world now irrevocably changed. The issue’s stark, intense visuals by John K. Snyder and Jay Geldhof, with coloring by Joe Matt and lettering by Bob Pinaha, are matched by a cover by John K. Snyder III that captures the story’s grim, escalating tension.
