Grendel Tales: The Devil May Care

by Matt Wagner

Published 26 November 2002
It's race time in Indianapolis, and the only thing hotter than the action on the track is the passion boiling outside of the stadium walls. Local Grendel chief Hack has his hands full. Between the volatile visiting Grendel clans tearing up the town, a mysterious vigilante on a Grendel-killing spree, and forces within his own clan that seek to depose him, there's little room for error or emotion. But when he feels himself falling for Dana, the city hospital's headstrong lead physician, he quickly finds things spiraling out of his control. And he's not the only one with problems. Dana's struggling with her delinquent son, desperately trying to keep him away from the very Grendel that she herself is growing ever attracted to.

Grendel Prime returns to an Earth that has outlawed all things Grendel and must survive in a hostile, new world order.

After spending years searching space for a replacement Earth, Grendel Prime has returned home, but things are not as he left them. The pockets of humanity that remain in this post-apocalyptic world are ruled by Necro Lords, and all things Grendel are outlawed! Grendel Prime will need to hide his identity as he explores his suddenly hostile home planet. Is there even a place for him here anymore?

A new era in the world of Grendel by Matt Wagner, featuring color work and a variant cover by Brennan Wagner!
