Wow! I have not read any Grendel books but after seeing a dps like this it makes me wonder why it hasnt sprung up on my radar sooner. This is such a beautiful piece. Congrats on acquiring such an awesome page!
I don't know if you like this one enough for it to be your "one and done" Grendel piece, but it is, I certainly would understand. It's an absolute beauty!
Nicely composed!
Well designed engaging masterwork by Wagner! A montage of scenes with the spear guiding the flow of our attention across the collage of scenes that have the retro deco feel of high class 80's indie art.
Superb
Fantastic page design that almost feels like a movie poster!
Wow, this is stunning! It's sincerely impressive in scope and feel.
Excellent piece! Congratulations on your first acquisition of 2024! (P.S., am more of a Mage story person but love the Grendel art).
Well done.
That is a prime example of so many things, an easy one-and done if you so choose.
Congrats.
Spectacular piece!
...now that is something!!
Amazing Grendel piece! Can't imagine getting anything that surpasses this.
Yowza! What a breathtaking Grendel DPS by Matt Wagner! This is one of the most beautifully composed and elegantly inked spreads I've ever seen. I love the whole art deco-style drawing here. Love the multiple images, from the silhouetted figure on the ledge in the upper left to the elegantly dressed man standing in the flames to the image of Grendel looming over the stately mansion. The whole DPS is a Matt Wagner tour-de-force!

Gorgeous
Outstanding composition mixed with pure illustration. Edge to edge Wagner absolutely killed this. Congrats!
The original Devil by the Deed was a spectacular contrast with the large amount of negative space in Mage. This is a kind of return to form for Wagner; a kind of return to the those early glory days of innovation.
A great double page splash from Matt!
You know, even though it already bears the banner of "Master's Edition", I'm still not sure it accurately captures the majesty of the piece! You're absolutely right about the new 'Devil By The Deed' containing showstopper after showstopper - it's an onslaught as unrelenting as one of Hunter Rose's bear traps of a scheme - and this one may be the crown jewel. Wagner's design sense has never been sharper, filling out the image without cluttering it; allowing plenty of room for the text without shortchanging the images here at all. Grendel is menacing and looms over all; Hunter burns with (and in) an inferno-like cistern of greed and evil; Argent patiently waits and watches over all... but my favorite has to be the mansion, absolutely gorgeous, with no detail spared. Sensational spread, Mark - ENORMOUS congrats; a treasure!
killer, i wouldve never thought about this. its just about 40 years ago that i last did.
