Grendel: God and the Devil #1

Plot

The year is 2512, and the kingdom of Grendel is at hand! Several centuries have passed since the mask of Grendel has been worn, and in that time humanity's survived a third World War, the fall of Western Civilization, and the rise of an all-powerful church state. But as the new Catholic Vatican stands as a towering fortress, anchored in the mountains of Colorado and fanatically driven by the depraved Pope Innocent XLII, two men rise up against the church's corrupting influence. The first is Orion Assante, a man determined to expose the pope for who and what he really is. The second is a mysterious madman wearing the all-too-familiar face of Grendel. The Devil has risen again!
