Grendel: War Child #2

In "Chapter 42: Devil in the City," Grendel arrives in New York City, still reeling from his clash with a rogue clan, and finds himself entangled in a new wave of violence as he confronts dangerous mutants. The city becomes a battleground where shadows deepen and old secrets—like Orion’s unfinished "Project Athena"—begin to surface. Written by Matt Wagner and illustrated by Patrick McEown, with inks by Wagner, colors by Bernie Mireault and Kathryn Delaney, and letters by Kurt Hathaway, this 1992 Dark Horse issue delivers a grim, relentless pace. The cover, a striking piece by Simon Bisley, captures the chaos and intensity of the story’s central conflict.
