4	* AllStarCast: The ''Black, White, and Red'' comics were a series of short Hunter Rose stories drawn by a Who’s Who of well-known artists from the late ‘90s.
5	* CreatorBacklash:
6	** Over the years, Wagner's depiction of Hunter Rose has shifted from an initial ByronicHero characterisation to simply a hateful, arrogant, murderous asshole. Wagner has said in an interview that every time he writes about Hunter he likes him a little less.
7	** The Comico black-and-white miniseries, as well as the character's ''introduction in Comico Primer #2.''
8	** To an extent, Wagner feels this of his original concept of even ''Devil By the Deed'', what with the line about [[TrueArtIsAngsty Grendel being the spirit of society's mediocrity.]]
9	* RealitySubtext: The ''Grendel Tales'' stories by Darko Macan and Edvin Biukovic, "Devils and Deaths" and "Devil's Choices", are set in the Balkans and have very obvious subtext to the 1990s [[UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars Yugoslav Wars]] that were raging in the region in real life at the time.
10	** "Devil Child" is loosely based on the writer's own rape.
11	* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The title saw a delay of several years due to the bankruptcy of its original publisher (Comico). During the interim, Comico's owners tried to claim Grendel as a company asset and prevent Wagner from taking the character elsewhere. This also held up Dark Horse reprints of the Comico issues, which eventually went through without further complications.
