Comments: First thing here we see within a tall spiral building three beings they know of Grendel and from their demeanor you know they are evil, the Necro-Lords. Hari Smythe and Ptolemy Chambers are aiding this Grendel.
In this world, the Necro-Lords aka blood-sucking vampires rule. Grendels have been outlawed. Humans are the ones remaining well some live free and some live to be blood sacks for the vampires.
A Wrecking Crew is on the hunt for Grendel. They are like a futuristic motorcycle gang of bounty hunters. Grendel prepares to engage them. Grendel is a nonsense warrior ready, willing, and able to fight.
Grendel Prime does what he does best in a fight and that is mow through his opponents. There is lots of gore here.
Grendel and company are being hunted by two creatures that appear demonic. They are also fully nude and that is clearly shown so this comic is for a mature audience.
Grendel Prime has found his new mission to make his new home a better place.
