Grendel Tales: Homecoming #2

Plot

Something's in the air, and Susan's mistaken it for love. Having returned to her hometown after a decade absent, she's reunited with Avril, and romance from days past is reawakened. But Susan's town is now run by a gang of punks called Orion's Bastards, and Avril is under their jurisdiction. They're looking to shatter the romance just as they've crushed the once-quaint town. Will they succeed in destroying love's young dream? Or will the blood on their hands be their own?

Also in this issue: "Babylon Crash, Part 2." The latest installment of Matt Wagner's fully painted epic, Devil Quest, opens the doors of the Khan's palace, revealing an empire in its last, sordid days. Jupiter III seeks salvation in his quest for the devil, but he may end up finding his destruction instead.
