Azrael: Agent of the Bat #66

The tagline says it all — "Back to Basics!" — and Roger Robinson and James Pascoe's cover delivers exactly that energy, showing Azrael in his distinctive armored suit and red cape looming over a trio of armed thugs, his gauntlets blazing with fire and blue energy as the criminals scramble in clear panic below him. It's a wonderfully kinetic image that captures just how imposing Batman's former Agent of the Bat can be when he's operating at full force. With Dennis O'Neil, Robinson, and Pascoe bringing "New Order" to life in this July 2000 issue, fans of street-level Bat-universe action will find plenty to enjoy here.
