Grendel: War Child #7

In "Chapter 47: Devil in Chains," the truth behind Prime’s identity shocks even the most hardened survivors—revealing a cyborg beneath the mask. As Azif’s forces unravel after intercepting a crucial message from Orion, tensions rise between Susan and Laurel, whose bond deepens in the shadows of the crumbling complex. With Jupiter taken by unseen predators and Azif’s men reduced to a desperate few, the survivors face a new kind of reckoning. Written by Matt Wagner and illustrated by Patrick McEown, with inks by Wagner and Monty Sheldon, colors by Bernie Mireault and Kathryn Delaney, and letters by Kurt Hathaway, this 1993 Dark Horse issue features a cover by Matt Wagner, capturing the story’s grim intensity.
