Grendel Omnibus, Vol. 1: Hunter Rose
by Mike Allred, Matt Wagner
A dark and, pretty fucked up, collection of stories by the man known as Grendel!
Grendel basically is one of those people who will not accept what life has to give. He takes what he wants, no matter who gets hurt in the process. He murders people he finds fit to be killed, usually working for a mafia family but his true love is just to hurt people. You see it more and more as the series go on and all the blank spots are filled in within the many 7-12 page stories presented here.
The second collection of short stories are a little weaker than the rest of the book but still solid enough, it's the first collection of short stories that really worked for me. Vicious in nature, showing who Grendel was but also building up the tone and overall city feel to his murder spree. Getting to know more and more about Stacey, his daughter, and her ultimate face was both interesting and sad. The wolf was a great advisory to him, even if he wasn't "Good" per say.
Overall, if like fucked up and twisted stories and great world building, this one is a great one to pick up.
