Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In the centuries since the mask of Grendel was last seen, humanity's survived a third World War, the fall of Western Civilization, and the rise of an all-powerful church state. But when the depraved Pope Innocent XLII begins construction of a new church tower hiding a powerful and deadly secret, two men will rise against the church's corruption. One is Orion Assante, a man determined to expose the Pope for who he really is. The other is a mysterious figure wearing the all-too-familiar face of Grendel! Grendel: God and the Devil masterfully interweaves sanity with madness, churches with corporations, and good with evil in one of the most stunning and prophetic stories of modern comics. One of Wagner's riskiest and most compelling works, this massive volume will thrill every Grendel fan, and dazzle anyone searching for a great story told in a whole new way.

This is far and away my favorite Grendel arc. The art and story are superior. Everything Matt Wagner was reaching for in the series comes to a head here. The only thing I was sad to see missing from this reprint were the original comico covers.

This long-awaited trade paperback (it collects Grendel #23-33, or Grendel: God and the Devil #0-10) is a sequel of sorts to the Grendel: Devil's Legacy storyline (the Christine Spar Grendel). However, the story here is much more epic. This story takes place in the wake of a third World War, the fall of Western civilization, and the rise of a powerful church state. It actually features two Grendels - Eppy Thatcher, a mentally unstable drug addict, and Orion Assante, a wealthy aristocrat. Eppy and Orion each attack the corrupt church and its sinister, calculating pope, but their methods are vastly different. A wild card presents itself in Pellon Cross, a rogue C.O.P. who serves only his own interests. Featuring great artwork by John K. Snyder III, Jay Geldhof, and Tim Sale (chapter 0) and new digital coloring by Jeromy Cox (Mage: The Hero Defined), this may be the best story arc in Matt Wagner's centuries-spanning Grendel saga. Highly recommended. I only wish there had been a hardcover edition.
