Detective Comics Annual #11 (2009)

continues the tale of Batman, Robin and Azrael from last week's (Oct 7, 2009) in their attempts to thwart an ancient cult from sacrificing seven children in an effort to resurrect the embodiment of the eighth deadly sin. In a bold move, DC through writer Fabian Nicieza created a Batman story that spans two Batman annuals, and it's such a breath of fresh air. It's been a long time since the Batman books simply told a complete adventure featuring Batman's current world and supporting cast. Since the two annuals are meant to be read together, I also include here that I posted last week. Oh, and there's a bonus: also included in the cbr are the covers of both annuals joined together--that's it above (2560 x 1958 pixels).

Picking up where BATMAN ANNUAL #27 left off! A lock without a key. A murder mystery whose solutions could lead to countless deaths. An answer in search of – the Question! Renee Montoya must help Batman save Robin from Amon, the Sixth Sinner, while keeping the fanatic killer from uncovering a 2,000-year-old religious secret. But is Azrael willing to risk Robin's life in order to see this secret revealed? "The Eighth Deadly Sin" sets the stage for this month's premiere issue of the AZRAEL ongoing series!
