Grendel: War Child #4

Plot

While Laurel Kennedy announces the death of Orion's heir to a shocked world, setting off a political explosion in the process, Jupiter Assante and his captor, the mysterious Grendel figure, have in fact set sail for Africa. Problem is, they've hitched a ride aboard a freighter about to be attacked by a band of vicious pirates, out for plunder and blood. It's swashbuckling action like you've never seen before, as young Jupiter finds himself quite literally caught between the "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea"!

NOT FOR CHILDREN

Plus, in the Afterword section continues the essay "The Long and Twisted History of Grendel" by Matt Wagner. Part 2 is dedicated to Christine Spar, the daughter of Stacy Palumbo, the adopted ward of Hunter Rose. Eventually, Christine became the second incarnation of Grendel, a decision with terrible consequences.
