The Grendel collections gather Matt Wagner’s long-running dark superhero comic, with Greg Rucka contributing the prose novel Grendel: Past Prime in 2000. The series spans multiple eras and characters who inherit the Grendel identity, each one representing a different facet of power and violence. The omnibus editions compile decades of material.
Rucka’s prose contribution fits naturally into the Grendel universe, bringing his thriller-writing skills to Wagner’s mythology. The ten entries in this collection range from the original archives to crossover stories, offering a comprehensive look at one of independent comics’ most enduring creations.
