Summary:
Grendel seethes in the mind of everyone it touches. A touch of death, of fear, of anger infects all, gripping at the soul. Dark Horse continues the practice of reprinting the original run of the Grendel continuum with this first installment of The Devil Inside, a three-issue miniseries written by Matt Wagner, illustrated by Bernie Mireault, and colored by Joe Matt. The Devil Inside will also feature fresh covers painted by Wagner himself, along with special digital color effects added by Mireault. Following Devil's Legacy, we return to Brian Li Sung, now down and out, living in the slums of Brooklyn, struggling as an off-off-off-Broadway stage manager, stewing in the hatred and violence that is Grendel. With the ghost of Christine Spar floating in his head, the spirit of Grendel lives on in Li Sung ...

Summary:
The spirit of Grendel grips the brain with violent, insane fingers and never lets go. Its latest victim, Brian Li Sung, was once a lover of Hunter Rose's granddaughter, Christine Spar. Like a viral infection, she passed the fierceness to Li Sung in the form of vengeful drive, one and the same that led Spar down the path of death. That path, paved with flagstones of vigilante murder, leads Li Sung further into his pit of Brooklyn despair. But can a visit from Regina turn him around? What about a visit from Inspector Wiggins? Yep, the tenacious, red-eyed officer just won't give up. And so, the conflict continues, as do Dark Horse's reprints of these classic Grendel stories. Featuring another great, new cover painting from creator Matt Wagner and more of the thrilling suspense.

Inspector Wiggins, with his electronic eye and swaggering patience, must pass through a gauntlet of murderous mayhem to face Li Sung in a final shoot-out with only one survivor. Bernie Mireault's engaging lines and Joe Matt's inventive colors cement the darkness of Matt Wagner's winter tragedy. Features an all-new cover painting by Wagner.
