Letter to Grendel Devil's Odyssey 1-3

Gentles:

Just finished reading Grendel Devil’s Odyssey 1-3!

Thanks, Matt et. al., for another incarnation of Grendel. I have about 5000 books in a collection from as early as 1976 and am about to have a major cull down to half, keeping only my most favorite titles and two of ‘em will be all of Mage, and all of Grendel!

Devil’s Odyssey couldn’t be more perfect! Grendel Prime is GrimJack, Judge Dredd, Deathlok, and beyond, and this arc is lovely! Grendel Prime, the reliable authoritarian makes the perfect foil to establish the unique norms of the strange new worlds he is encountering and we have five more issues of exploration ahead with every image lovingly planned and rendered. Matt’s pencils are so consistent yet become more and more refined, leaving all that great design bared at the surface! Brennan’s colors are emblematic and set the black of Grendel Prime the role of the ultimate straight-man.

Can’t wait for issue 4! But I will! Bring it on Misters Wagner, and a “hear hear” for pre-Hunter Rose Grendels!

Vivat Grendel!
