Secret Six Preview
The Newsarama has the preview for Secret Six #13. JOY!!!!

Exquisite panel preview of humor and horror behind the cut.

Ok, talk about going back and taking a classic monster and bringing him into the fold. Wow.
And since Diana's recent adventures included Beowulf, then having Grendel appear is not that inconceivable. The way Grendel talks, like you kind of understand what he is saying/implying and yet your mind can't graps in what horrible ways the beast is communicating his message... yeah, you got this beast right, Gail. It' like looking in at Hannibal Lecter, with his horrible persona made flesh.

Grendel is CREEPY.

I am in love with Jeanette, and Ragdoll as always steals the show.

	One presumes that being alive again involved arm-putting-onness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I did do a ton of Beowulf research, but in this case, DCU history trumps real history, in my mind, the same way DCU pantheons are the ones I go by, even if they are informed by real mythology. I just think it's more fun that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, Grendel isn't "real history" in any case. It's a myth and legend. It could have gone down like in the epic. It could've gone down like in Eaters Of The Dead/13th Warrior. Or it could have gone down differently, in a way that kept Grendel intact and alive. Or, it could have gone down COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY, and no one will ever get the real story.
