Grendel: The most 80s comic book of the 80s

In our second installment on Matt Wagner's Grendel, we dive into issues 1-20 of the ongoing series from Comico, as well as the Grendel: Devil's Vagary one shot. We begin with the second Grendel Christine Spar, continue to Brian Li Sung, and wrap-up with Captain Wiggins. We talk about the Pander Brothers, how 1986 is the most 80s year of the 80s, Wagner's experiments, and more. Also: The Sewer Mutant print zine is coming! The theme is cyberpunk. I’m working on an article on OMAC and Deathlok. John’s working on articles on Death’s Head and John Bergin’s Golgothika. And we might do a tie-in episode on Machine Man. If you’d like to contribute an article, artwork, or short comic, email me pitches at klintfinley at gmail.com. The deadline will be August 15th, with a goal of publishing this fall. Mentioned in this episode: Berserker from Gauntlet Comics by Gary Carlson. The Megaton comic I’m talking about is Megaton Holiday Special (1993) from Entity. Bernie Mireault. Joe Matt.
