BATMAN SWORD OF AZRAEL DELUXE EDITION HC

Witness the rise of a new hero who will go on to play a pivotal role in Knightfall in Batman: Sword of Azrael: The Deluxe Edition. This deluxe hardcover collects the acclaimed miniseries by Dennis O'Neil with Joe Quesada, Kevin Nowlan, and Jimmy Palmiotti, joined by Lovern Kindzierski for color and lettering, and presents the story with a prestige presentation for the very first time. Batman: Sword of Azrael #1-4 is paired with the Azrael/Ash #1 one-shot, expanding Azrael's dark path and his uneasy alliance with Batman. A new wraparound cover and an introduction by Quesada frame a package that includes a trove of extras—preliminary designs, original art pages, and behind-the-scenes material—showing the creative process behind a saga that threads occult orders, guilt, and destiny into the Bat-world. This volume bridges classic Batman mythos with modern storytelling, setting the stage for Knightfall's seismic events.
