About the author

Doug Moench, is an American comic book writer notable for his Batman work and as the creator of Black Mask, Moon Knight and Deathlok. Moench has worked for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics and many other smaller companies; he has written hundreds of issues of many different comics, and created dozens of characters, such as Moon Knight. In 1973, Moench became the de facto lead writer for the Marvel black-and-white magazine imprint Curtis Magazines. He contributed to the entire runs of Planet of the Apes, Rampaging Hulk (continuing on the title when it changed its name to The Hulk!) and Doc Savage, while also serving as a regular scribe for virtually every other Curtis title during the course of the imprint's existence. Moench is perhaps best known for his work on Batman, whose title he wrote from 1983–1986 and then again from 1992–1998. (He also wrote the companion title Detective Comics from 1983–1986.)

Moench is a frequent and longtime collaborator with comics artist Paul Gulacy. The pair are probably best known for their work on Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu, which they worked on together from 1974–1977. They also co-created Six from Sirius, Slash Maraud, and S.C.I. Spy, and have worked together on comics projects featuring Batman, Conan the Barbarian and James Bond.

Moench has frequently been paired with the artist and inker team of Kelley Jones and John Beatty on several Elseworlds Graphic Novels and a long run of the monthly Batman comic.

Reviews

[Luan Ferreira · Rating 2 out of 5]

Acredito que o grande problema desse volume seja a falta de algumas edições (se for isso mesmo), deixando a história com alguns furos intragáveis e criando expectativas que não são cumpridas, ou cumpridas sem cuidados nenhum. Dessa maneira, diferentemente do primeiro volume, no qual há um certo capricho na construção da narrativa e dos personagens, nesse segundo essas construções são mínimas, prejudicando a experiência de leitura. Outro ponto negativo, pra mim, são as mais de 500 páginas focando na loucura de Azrael (isso foi o mais cansativo!) e preterindo outros pontos que poderiam contribuir mais para entender a queda do morcego.
