Filled with action, a wealth of favourite characters, cool batmobiles and cars, sword fights, and deaths. Azrael fully suited-up looks stunning! It's not as good as 'White Knight' but still worth picking up in trade.

I loved White Knight but didn't really think it needed a sequel.Which means I don't know exactly how to feel about this one. Everything good about the original sort of died off in this and what's left is an alternate reality Batman story. So, for what it was it was entertaining.I'm guessing from the way it ended that there will be more in this series, and I suppose I'll read whatever comes next. I just can't say I'll have the same level of excitement going in the next time around.Curse of the Wh...

For fear of spoiling the delight that is Murphy’s Batverse, I’ll say this: if you enjoyed Murphy’s Batman: White Knight, you’ll enjoy the hell out of this. If you haven’t read White Knight, go read that and, if you like it, immediately read this. From the art to the mood to the pacing to the story twists to the inspired way in which he reconceives each character, Murphy’s foray into Batman lore is an absolute joy to read. It’s like getting a hug from a koala bear (but not one of the ones with ch...

"How about you--sure you're up for this?I can step on a gas pedal, if that's what you're asking.Good.And wha'll you be doing?I'll be in the Batmobile.Azrael destroyed most of them when he attacked the GTO. So there's only one left.This ones always been my favourite. Azrael's suit is tate of the art, and that thing is decades old. Are you nuts? Let's get nuts. Great, better that Batman White Knight, great art, story and what an ending...

Fitting end to Bruce Wayne’s legacy as Batman. Sean Murphy does a really good job depicting Bruce as guilt ridden with what Batman has become to Gotham City during his tenure as The Dark Knight. The end doesn’t just feel like a fitting end to Batman’s war on crime, but a fresh start with Bruce reconciling with Jason and making amends for his vigilantism.

I was reluctant to read this because the White Knight was so good and I didn't want to ruin it with a mediocre sequel. To the contrary, this builds on the greatness of White Knight and continues to shock and thrill. I can't recommend this highly enough, if you've ever liked Batman then this is a must read!

Sean Murphy continues his revisionist take on the Batman mythos, this time bringing Azrael into the story. Murphy's art throughout is great. He talks in a note near the end of the book about how he was influenced by Klaus Janson and there's a one-shot about Mr. Freeze that is illustrated by Janson himself, and I didn't even realize that it wasn't Murphy's work until after. I'm really not sure why this is part of the Black Label line, since other than a couple of swear words and just a touch more...

With Jack Napier (mostly) gone, the Joker is back to wreak havoc on Gotham City by revealing a groundbreaking truth about Batman - and he’s gonna use Jean-Paul Valley as his avenging angel of death to do it! This was SO BAD! Sean Murphy gets worse and worse as a writer. I feel like he was forced to do this as White Knight, which this is the sequel to, was so inexplicably popular, because Curse of the White Knight doesn’t feel inspired in the least. At its core is the most tedious, convoluted, co...

Wow!!!! I don't care if this is Else world, What if or Black label. This is right up there with my favourite Batman stories. It is not often that the sequel is even more epic than the original but this one manages it. If I had one complaint it is i want more!!!!!This story took me through every emotion imaginable. Great twist in the story. Usually I hate when main characters are killed off, but even this was done well and every death ment something. Slight spoiler NO ONE is safe or off limits.I

I'm impressed. This was great. Azrael is reimagined as the anti-Batman. It's something of a spin on Knightfall in that it's Azrael vs Batman in most of this, but there is more to it than that with the Joker prodding behind the scenes. And then there's Harley Quinn. I loved her in this book. Murphy found a way to make her more than just an annoyance. Murphy's art is brilliant. He draws such a terrific Batman and Gotham.

Despite having really enjoyed the previous 'White Knight' book, I went into this one with low expectations after having read a number of reviews that labelled it an unnecessary sequel. Having now read it, I can't say I disagree with them: it is a totally unnecessary sequel, and an unnecessary rehash of 'Knightfall' to boot, but I'll be painted chartreuse by rabid monkeys if it isn't a lot of fun!This is a real rollercoaster ride of a book that seldom eases its foot off the gas pedal. It fleshes

Pretty enjoyable sequel! I was a huge fan of the first White Knight because I thought told such a great story about Batman and the Joker! This sequel has Batman fight against Azrael as this book is kind of Sean Murphy's version of Knightfall. The volume did start a bit slow for the first few issues and it only really kicks into high gear around issue 4. Murphy's art is still stellar as always as there some great scenes where he conveys so much emotion and weight, with no dialogue needed. I also

I don’t think this reaches the heights the first book did, however it was still very well done. I thought the ending kinda approached the original, and I wish irl billionaires would go the Wayne route, but regardless, the comic was still very enjoyable. I think this series is for me what The Dark Knight Returns is for a lot of people. That series is too right-wing for me, and I honestly cannot stand Frank Miller and his bigoted views. This series on the other hand is more inline with my politica...

4.5 stars"He's lost everything: his home, his inheritance, the honor of his family legacy. There's only one thing Azrael hasn't taken from him: his soul. That's the only thing keeping Bruce from falling into the abyss. I just hope he can save himself . . . by remembering who he really is." -- Harley Quinn, voicing concern as Batman speeds to a final violent confrontation with villain AzraelSequels can be a tricky thing, but the reunited duo of Sean Murphy and Matt Hollingsworth (along w/ new ass...

Curse of the White Knight had big shoes to fill as White Knight was praised as being something fresh and fun for Batman. Did it? Well...This is the story of Azrael. It is a bit odd that it's called "Curse of the white knight" but it mostly comes down to Joker being the one who sets this all up. So it is thanks to Joker Azrael finds out the truth about his family line and the Waynes. He targets Batman, and he knows his secrets, and with his "friends" he decides to take down the Bat and all his fa...

I really didn't like White Knight. This second volume somehow manages to be even worse and more ridiculous. I'm just giving it a little more love because Azrael was cool, while Neo Joker (gag) and Jack Napier were not at all back in Vol. 1. This is almost Tom King-level bad about making characters act, well, out of character. The only compliments I can give this (and all that will keep me going) are that the art is spectacular, the Easter eggs are fun (and sometimes just awesome... BATMOBILE), a...

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.What happens when you lose your footing, when you’re unable to understand who you are and what you’re meant to be in the world, a world where you thought you were welcomed in with open arms? Sometimes, an identity crisis is all you need to walk down a path of enlightenment, a stairway towards purpose and commitment. However, when there’s one person out there who would do anything to see the walls around you crumble, the grounds break apart, and

This is a step down from the previous story--primarily because it is an Azrael story. I don't like Azrael, so perhaps my rating is a reflection of that. However, I felt that the twist in the story wasn't that interesting.

(4,3 of 5 for the sequel of the White Knight witch is in some ways more awesome)First of all - I feel Murphy Did Batman for me, not for superheroes/Batman fans. I love the art and how he tackles the Gotham, Batman and all around. With surgical precision but with a punch of wrecking ball. But he deflects the "canon", creating new roots and shortcut to the end of Batman and Gotham as we know it, grasping for something "beyond Batman". I enjoy that greatly. All that road to the origins of Joker, to...
