GRIT is a Southern-fried sword and sorcery comic book series following
the misadventures of a working-class monster hunter and a hot-tempered
witch, written by Brian Wickman and illustrated by Kevin Castaniero,
published by Scout Comics.
When a routine troll hunting gig takes a gruesome turn, the curmudgeonly
Old Man Barrow finds himself in the company of a wannabe backwoods
doomsday cult. Faced with a problem that can't be solved with the swing
of his axe, he's forced to deal with the unintentional consequences of
his brutal style of problem solving with the help of Ari, a wandering
witch with a short fuse and a firm stance against ultra-violence. Things
are bound to get strange for these begrudging traveling companions!
Both a love letter to pulp fantasy and a critical look at the heroes
they feature, GRIT is a breakneck adventure story with an abundance of
action and a big goofy heart. With everything from goblin gangs to
botched necromantic rituals and trash-talking song birds to dream-eating
nightmare witches, GRIT juggles grim and urgent action with the inherent
silliness of high-fantasy derring-do.
Collects GRIT #1-3 and two all-new short comics.
