A Collection of Grendel stories: War Child, Past Prime, Devil Quest, and a Grendel Primer. War Child is one of my favorites, with the Paladin/Grendel Prime appearing and kidnapping/protecting Jupiter Asante, heir to Orion 1, until he can take the throne, facing a myriad of dangers in the post apocalyptic future. Past Prime is a novelette written by Greg Rucka with limited illustration by Wagner telling the story of Crystals former protector/lover Susan and her search for the cyborg Paladin. Devil Quest a disjointed tale (originally backup stories) of yet another attempt to find Grendel Prime as he works to contact the original Grendel, Hunter Rose, in the past, told with great painted artwork. Finally a short Grendel Primer, with a character for each letter of the alphabet.
