After a pretty strong start, can this unwanted and almost forgotten series stay on the rails heading into the back half? Let's find out!
AZRAEL (VOL. 2) Part 2 (DC)
ISSUE 10
- read moreAfter an unimpressive introduction in the "Death's Dark Knight" mini, I pondered the question of just how good an ongoing series starring the uninteresting character of Michael Lane could be.
It ran for 18 issues, so there was SOME push behind it, but from what I can see on the internet (O Internet! Fountain of Comic Knowledge!) nobody really cared. And that lack of care is reflected in the REBIRTH Bat-books where Azrael has been re-introduced, but as a strange version of Jean Paul Valley wearing a Suit of Sorrows with some sort of ancient A.I. computer built into it. Rebirth Azrael is a steaming pile of WTF, but Michael Lane seems to have been completely forgotten by. . .well. . .everyone.
So here's a look at the ongoing series starring the Azrael nobody asked for, nobody cared about, and nobody remembers today. I kind of feel sorry for it, because to tell the truth. . .it ain't bad.

That said. . .I'm a pretty big Azrael fan, and guess what? I thought he was a decent Batman too.
Yeah, I know. DC has pretty much admitted that they specifically created Azrael in a sort of "You want this? You got this." response to constant reader demands to make Batman more grim, gritty, and generally 90's - tastic. But I liked Azrael, and I liked Azrael as Batman, and I liked Azrael AFTER comic fans were like "Whoa, now! Give us back the old Batman, please."

AZRAEL PLUS (DC)
A team-up between two great characters. . .Azrael and The Question.
