Batman: Sword of Azrael. By Dennis O'Neil
I picked up this book after reading several reviews saying that if you could find it, it was a good prequel to the Knightfall story line. (Bane) This book easily goes for $30 or more online, but I found it in my local comic shop for under $10. Couldn't pass that up. I had no idea who Azrael was before this. But come to find out, the concept of an Azrael type character is a really cool idea. It is almost a parallel idea to Batman. The Azrael character and the order of St Dumas are very interesting and mysterious and really fit well in the the Batman mythos. For a 20 year old story the art was very good. As a stand along four part series it's pretty good, but I think the true test will be how it leads up to the Knightfall series once I'm able to read through it.
