Grendel: Devil's Crucible - Defiance #2

The second chapter of this four-part Dark Horse series arrives with a cover by Matt Wagner that makes an immediate impression: a spike-armored Grendel stands triumphant atop a pile of brutish, fallen enemies, thrusting a staff skyward amid roiling smoke and fire, while weapons and a glowing pink object fly through the chaotic scene around him. Matt and Brennan Wagner bring their signature gritty energy to the series, with Brennan's colors saturating the battlefield in deep reds and smoldering oranges. If Grendel: Devil's Crucible – Defiance has your attention, issue #2 makes a compelling case to stay for the full ride.
