Stories

Devil's Riddle · 50 pages
Rose breezes into Gotham and meets Wayne. Grendel needs excitement, so he imitates Riddler's m.o. for Batman. Wayne meets Rachel. Hunter meets Hillary. Grendel kidnaps Hillary's daughter to get Hillary to find out about the incoming Sphinx.

Publisher’s description

BATMAN/GRENDEL pits the relentless determination of the Dark Knight Detective against the diabolic methodology of Hunter Rose, the first incarnation of Matt Wagner's now-classic creation, Grendel. While Bruce Wayne and Hunter Rose play power games in Gotham's high society, Batman finds himself up against a new and vicious foe of uncanny intellect and evil intent, one more than capable of testing the Dark Knight's formidable skills to their limits.
