    Following the events of "The Eighth Deadly Sin" in BATMAN ANNUAL #27 and DETECTIVE COMICS ANNUAL #11, the new monthly series starring Death's Dark Knight begins! Michael Lane is a man in search of redemption, but does serving the Order of Purity as God's Angel of Justice bring him closer to achieving his goal - or simply send him further down a road paved with good intentions? When a hired killer comes to Gotham City seeking revenge for crimes committed decades in the past, Azrael faces an impossible conflict: What if God's justice forces the hero to claim one of God's servants? From writer Fabian Nicieza (SUPERMAN, TRINITY) and artist Ramon Bachs (RED ROBIN)!

Fabian Nicienza has pedophile priests, murderous religious zealots, and a Catholic guilt ridden hero (who isn’t blind or a lawyer) flying around with two flaming swords dressed as a Teutonic knight. Thankfully DC ha...

    This book shocked me at how good it was. I'm a sucker for trying a new series out when its at a number one and i'm happy i did with this one. Azrael was part of a project that was training him to basically be the next batman He got some armor, went a little crazy, and now murders people all the time.  Now hes where the title of this review comes into play. All the murders he does, have a reason. but sometimes its hard to decide if these reasons are good or bad This is what constantly happens in ...
