Sword of Sorcery #2
In "The Path of Heart," Beowulf and the young Wiglaf face a monstrous threat when the monstrous Grendel invades Hrothgar's hall, aided by the deceitful Unferth. As they track Grendel into the wilds, they encounter a mysterious sorceress who claims to be his mother—her presence hinting at a deeper, darker truth beneath the beast's fury. Written by Tony Bedard and brought to life by Jesús Saiz’s dynamic art and Brian Reber’s vivid colors, this issue blends myth and magic in a gripping tale of courage and hidden origins. The cover, by Aaron Lopresti, captures the eerie tension of the moment with striking detail.
