"The first time I ever saw Grievous was in the Genndy Tartakovsky-produced animated shorts, where he felt like a horror movie monster hunting Jedi instead of teenagers. While sticking with the more recent characterization of him, I still wanted to play with the merciless hunter we were introduced to."

―Jody Houser^[src]

Age of Republic - General Grievous 1 is ninth and final one-shot in the canon comic book anthology series Star Wars: Age of Republic. The issue was written by Jody Houser, illustrated by Luke Ross, and published on March 13, 2019 by Marvel Comics.
