☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn Sword of Azrael: Dark Knight of the Soul #1, Azrael confronts a terrifying vision when a criminal rises from the dead, sparking fears of Judgement Day—only to uncover a darker truth: the dead are being resurrected using Lazarus Resin, and a lone survivor of the Knights Templar is hunting down those who misuse the power. Written by Dan Watters and illustrated with striking intensity by Nikola Čižmešija—whose cover pencils and inks bring the grim, otherworldly tone to life—this issue launches a gripping mystery where faith, vengeance, and forbidden science collide.
When Azrael sees a criminal rise from the dead, he’s convinced the end is near—until he uncovers a terrifying truth: the dead are being revived with Lazarus Resin, and a lone survivor of the Knights Templar is hunting them down. With Batman’s help and the enigmatic Grand Master Bernard de Tremelay pulling strings from the shadows, Azrael must confront a conspiracy that blurs the line between justice and vengeance.
In "The Endless Line," legendary artist Neal Adams reflects on the power of imagination and innovation, as a procession of iconic heroes—Batman, Robin, Green Lantern, Black Canary, Superman, The Flash, and others—line up to honor his enduring influence on their stories. A heartfelt tribute to a creative force who shaped the visual language of comics, the moment captures the lasting impact of one artist’s vision across the DC Universe.
