Always nice to see the hero actually struggling on the cover. Moreso when it's making the antagonist look awesome instead of just being on top at the moment like Batman covers sometimes do
The story for this issue was pretty good too. The boxer is a galactic superstar of the ring, but all he hears about wherever he goes is GL. Sick of it, he forces a match.

Generally, yes. The thing is, Grendel has been a lot of different kinds of comics over the years, with lots of different protagonists. The early stuff (and some of the later stuff) is about Hunter Rose, an amoral novelist who moonlights as an assassin for fun. He eventually takes over organized crime in New York. Eventually he gets killed, and the next Grendel series was about his granddaughter (sort of), who adopts the Grendel identity to become a vigilante when her son is kidnapped. The name passes to a few different people like that, each one using it in their own way and for their own reasons. Then the title moves into the distant future, where a visionary power broker adopts "Grendel" as a name for his elite warriors. After that, the comic mostly consisted of short, self-contained arcs focusing on one Grendel (or one group of them) at a time.
All the main stuff is written by Matt Wagner, though the future arcs in Grendel Tales had different writers. They seem to be republishing a lot of it recently in omnibus editions, but you might start by checking out Grendel: Devil by the Deed, a graphic novel about Hunter Rose's life, criminal career, and death, written as an in-universe book by his granddaughter.

Out of somewhat recent American comics, these are probably my favourites. Locke and Key and Witch Doctors illustrate the mood of the story very well, and give you a good idea of the premise.
Saucer country is not drawn as well as the other ones, and is a bit vague on what to expect besides aliens and men in black. However, the tie turning into a reticulan hand and using a shirt and black coat as an abduction beam is pretty clever.
