Susan Veraghen has returned to her hometown, but it's not the place she remembers, and if she plans to stay, she'll have to paint the town red--blood red. Orion's Bastards, led by the monstrous Buster, have put the once-quaint town under their boots, and they're not rolling out the welcome wagon. But Susan bears the mark of the Devil, and when the Bastards take the only thing she holds dear, there'll be Hell to pay. Homecoming is a critical narrative link between Grendel: War Child and the upcoming Grendel illustrated novel by Greg Rucka and Matt Wagner. BE ADVISED: CONTAINS VIOLENCE AND ADULT LANGUAGE.
