Dark Horse Comics announced the July 2024 release of Grendel: Devil’s Crucible – Defiance, a four-issue mini-series by Matt Wagner and Brennan Wagner.
A new story arc begins: Grendel Prime has returned to Earth, but things are not as he left them. The pockets of humanity that remain and the “Necro Lords” that rule them have turned against the Grendels. Grendel Prime will need to hide his identity as he explores his suddenly hostile home planet.
“Devil’s Odyssey was a dramatic break in the futuristic setting of Grendel. And Devil’s Crucible goes one step further by turning the precepts and setting of that world on its collective ear,” said Grendel creator, Matt Wagner in a press release from Dark Horse Comics. “Gone are the dominant Grendel clans and their military elitism, and yet that fascistic power structure has been replaced…by something far worse! I’ve got some major surprises on deck for this storyline and a word of warning for longtime readers; be careful what you wish for!”
Grendel: Devil’s Crucible – Defiance #1 arrives on July 3, 2024, and will have a $3.99 cover price.
