Azrael: Death's Dark Knight

In Azrael: Death's Dark Knight (2010, DC), writer Fabian Nicieza and artist Frazer Irving deliver a standalone one-shot that reimagines the mantle of the avenging angel. This single issue explores a new bearer of the Azrael legacy, set against the grim backdrop of Gotham City. Irving’s moody, atmospheric art perfectly complements Nicieza’s exploration of faith, justice, and the cost of divine vengeance. A concise but potent entry in the Azrael mythos, it stands as a dark, self-contained tale from the early 2010s.
