Matt Wagner — The Devil’s Whisper

Grendel vs. The Shadow #2, October 2014

We continue with our month long celebration of the “Independents” — independent creators and projects that continue to impact the comic book medium.

Matt Wagner seamlessly fits his independent creation Grendel into the pulpy world of The Shadow in this wonderfully realized mini-series. Grendel — Hunter Rose — is a natural adversary for the famed vigilante in a story set during the Shadow’s classic era, the 1930s.

Not much more to add here, except — I hope they do a sequel one of these days.
