Episode 2 of this story isn't a significant improvement over the previous instalment; Everyone survives the quake, Drake recognizes the first signs of an infected crew-member faster than he should, and Grendel Jonah ends the issue in a fight with two other infected crew-members. In between, Jonah recognizes Alexander as a Grendel, and we are treated to flashbacks showing how tough life is for Trainee Grendels, in case we hadn't guessed. The art is, if anything, uglier.
Art:2
Writing:3.5
Again, the highlight of the issue is the four pages at the back, written and drawn by Matt Wagner. I really hope the entire Devil Quest story-line, composed of all 14 4-page back-ups to the Grendel Tales series', will be reprinted in a form similar to Devil By The Deed.
