About the series
In this 2009 DC miniseries, writer Fabian Nicieza and artist Frazer Irving deliver a grim, supernatural thriller starring the angel of death's earthly agent. As a new Azrael takes up the flaming sword, the story explores the dark legacy of the mantle and the heavy toll it exacts on its bearer. Irving's moody, atmospheric art perfectly complements the series' brooding tone, making it a striking, if brief, entry in the Azrael mythos.
