Petrus undergoes an exorcism in order to rid his soul of Grendel. But the devil takes many forms, and it could just be that the abbot performing the ancient rite has his own hidden agenda. All is revealed in "The Truth."

Also in this issue: Chapter 3 of Matt Wagner's beautifully painted back-up story, in which a miner has a surprise encounter with Grendel-Prime. And a preview of the upcoming Grendel Tales: The Devil in Our Midst.
