Reading Lamp Features Diamond Pubs. It's been a long time since we've seen such a popular classic emerge from the basement. But at long last, someone has finally decided to reprint the second Grendel series. For years this same cutting-edge comic house has given us a flood of Grendel reincarnations that have added to Matt Wagner's mythos. For those readers out there who aren't too familiar with the character, or the Grendel history, now would be the appropriate time to open your notebooks, and sit up in your seat.
Class is in session, so have a pencil ready.
Grendel is an assassin, and if you see him you're flower food. What you need to know is that a young super wiz named Eddie grew up to become Hunter Rose, a vigilante who slices and dices the riff raff. This storyline took place as a back-up in the original Mage series, and it led to the Grendel legacy being passed on to Christine Powell. Like Eddie, Christine had her own demons to exorcise. Her similar whirlpool life led to her wearing the mask and stalking the night as a resurrected Grendel that faced a vampire pope with an international slave ring.
