Azrael #16

Azrael charges straight at the viewer on Guillem March's cover for this March 2011 DC title, armored in his white-and-red Crusader costume with cape billowing dramatically behind him. He wields two clashing energies — one blade wreathed in yellow-orange fire, the other crackling with an icy blue glow — beneath an imposing red Templar cross that dominates the composition. With a story titled "Three Mysteries, Part Three: Fire the Color of Ice," written by David Hine with interior art by Cliff Richards, this issue promises the kind of mythic, elemental conflict that makes Azrael such a compelling corner of the DC universe.
