This omnibus collects the very first Grendel stories, making it an ideal entry point for readers new to the series. It introduces Hunter Rose and establishes the foundational narrative of the Grendel legacy.
Grendel is Matt Wagner's signature creation and a cornerstone of his independent comic work, often featuring crossovers and thematic links with his other notable series, Mage. The Grendel universe itself expands significantly beyond Hunter Rose, exploring different characters who take on the mantle.
