In the chaos wrought by the death of Grendel-Khan Orion Assante, his young son Jupiter—heir to the throne—finds protection with his father’s secret weapon: an unstoppable cybernetic paladin of destruction!

The story of Grendel Prime unfolds in three tales that form the apotheosis of Wagner’s visionary, centuries-spanning narrative: the Eisner Award-winning War Child, with art by Patrick McEown; the riveting Past Prime novel, written by Greg Rucka with pen-and-ink illustrations by Wagner; and the lush, painted Devil Quest, recounting Prime’s search through an apocalyptic future for the seeds of his own past. Over five hundred pages of ultra-stylish art and story, culminating in “A Grendel Primer,” Wagner’s A-to-Z overview of all things Grendel!


About Author

Matt Wagner has enjoyed a career in comics for over twenty years. Born and educated in Pennsylvania, his first published work was a short story that would introduce one of comicdom’s most respected creator-owned characters—the mastermind assassin, GRENDEL. Best known for this epic creation and his other, more personal, allegory, MAGE, Matt has also worked on a variety of established characters. These include his ground-breaking work on the character of Batman villain, Two-Face, in the graphic novel, FACES, as well as a five-year stint both developing and generating the stories for the fan-favorite Vertigo title, SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE. His more recent efforts in this vein have included writing the DR. MID-NITE mini-series for DC Comics and serving as the regular cover artist on the Kevin Smith-penned relaunch of GREEN ARROW.

Known for his character-driven stories and his obvious love of the world’s mythologies, Matt has also enjoyed the distinction of being one of the only writer/artists allowed to team his own creation with one of DC’s flagship characters in two successive BATMAN/GRENDEL cross-overs.

In the past few years, Matt has also written and drawn several high profile projects for DC; a three-issue prestige series starring Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman; titled TRINITY and a year-long, project which comprised two mini-series that chronicled some of the earliest aspects of Batman’s career, collectively titled DARK MOON RISING.
