The ranks of Grendel warriors have now disintegrated into leaderless anarchy, but a savior exists, and one lone Grendel seeks the key to restoring the empire-and she won't take no for an answer. This compelling story of Susan Veraghen's search for Grendel-Prime also features 50 striking pen-and-ink illustrations and a stunning cover by Grendel creator, Matt Wagner.
"Working with Matt is like working with a kid who is perpetually unwrapping Christmas presents," said Rucka. "He's always excited, always enthusiastic, and always knows just what gift will make him happiest. Working on Past Prime, aside from being an honor, has also been just damn fun."
Grendel: Past Prime is a 208-page original novel, showcasing Wagner and Rucka's explosive collaboration in rich black and white. This first-ever Grendel prose novel will be available beginning June 8 for the retail price of $14.95.
