About the series
From 2009 to 2011, DC’s Azrael series ran for 18 issues, a dark, action-packed chapter in the legacy of the armored vigilante. Primarily written by Fabian Nicieza, with David Hine and Ian Sattler contributing, and illustrated by a rotating team including Ramón Bachs, Cliff Richards, and Guillem March, the book explores the burden of the Azrael mantle and its violent, religious undertones. This series stands out for its gritty, supernatural take on Gotham’s mythos, delving into the psychological and moral struggles of its protagonist without relying on the more famous Bat-family crossovers.
