After nearly killing Penguin, Azrael races to find the person who stole from the Church of St. Dumas. Batman, however, won't allow Azrael to use such aggressive methods. Who will be left standing when the Dark Knight faces the burning vengenance of St. Dumas?!
This is a fantastic story of a villain trying to overcome his mental health issues and return to a normal life. The Ventriloquist is very relateable throughout the book and the portrayals of Batman, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are all done very well. The art is lovely. This series has done well at emulating the style of the animated series but the little details like the Christmas attire on certain characters and the contrast between the bright holiday colours and the dark city of Gotham really make this book stand out. There's also some wonderful use of lettering that adds to the Christmas feel. I really enjoyed this book. I think it's the best Christmas comic I've read in years. Read Full Review
With Azrael saying farewell at the end of this issue (at least for now), the comic once again teases the possibility of Jason Todd emerging from the shadows. Up until this point we've seen him spend much of his time shadowing the Bat-Family, but Batman: The Adventures Continue #8 points out the other target in his sights: the Joker. Read Full Review
Finally an installment of this series that lives up to expectations! I'd been starting to lose hope
