AZRAEL #10
New writer David Hine (ARKHAM REBORN, DETECTIVE COMICS) makes his AZRAEL debut in part 1 of the 4-part “The Killer of Saints!” Members of religious cults are being murdered in grotesque reenactments of the martyrdom of Christian saints. Each victim holds part of a centuries-old secret that, once revealed, will alter the course of human history.

Dropped around issue 5 or 6, but I’m giving the new creative team a shot. The idea of Azrael is interesting, but seems to be unable to handle properly.
I thought David Hine did a pretty respectable job on his short run with Detective Comics….
Giving the new team and arc a chance.
Yeah….
Sorry guys I just couldn’t see myself to keep buying this. Hine is a great writer, but with the sloppy ending from last issue and the inclusion of March….Just can’t see myself buying it. If I hear good things though I will buy in trade.
It wasn’t too bad, actually–Hine’s got an interesting hook and does good at setting it up. As for March–between this and the unfortunately-written Batman arc he did a bit of a ways back, he’s not a bad artist at all, he just had this insane thought that he was a pin-up artist for a second.
Is it good enough to follow every week? I dunno, but I figure Hine has an issue or two more to convince me.
