Grendel: Devils Crucible – Defiance #1

Grendel: Devils Crucible - Defiance #1

I have a confession to make. I love Hunter Rose. The original Grendel ranks as one of my favorite comic characters of all time. And while Matt Wagner has taken some interesting paths in exploring various later iterations of the character, the further you get from the original the more my interest wanes. The new series, Grendel: Devils Crucible – Defiance, focuses on the last of the Grendels: Grendel-Prime. Returning to Earth after centuries in space, the paladin finds a stark world of haves and have-nots with most tech horded by Necro Lords leaving others to roam the wilderness in a steam-punk-ish society.

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7

Feeling much more a Batman story than a Scooby-Doo story, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7 features Batman and Mystery, Inc. working together to stop the Scarecrow who is performing a series of heists around Gotham City using his fear gas. We’re shown the villain at the off-set and, although there is some discovery to be made about uncovering Scarecrow’s master to get his gas into every home, it’s really Batman who is responsible for the deductions. You could take the Scooby-Doo characters completely out of the story and that wouldn’t change it all that much.

Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #0

Bridging the events of Blood Hunt and the new series Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu, this zero issue works basically resets the stage for both old and new users reintroducing all the characters of the Midnight Mission from the perspective of Khonshu. The perspective is interesting, giving us the god’s disapproval, but often grudging respect, for so many of the characters that have made up the supporting cast previous Moon Knight series saving the resurrected Moon Knight for last.
