Deathblow

Sinners and Saints (1-12; w Jim Lee, Brandon Choi; a Jim Lee, Tim Sale). [From DC Comics: As mercenary Michael Cray, he was a one-man arsenal and one of the world's deadliest killers. As Deathblow, he became mankind's last hope for survival against the Dark Angel and the approaching Armageddon. Collected in this massive volume are the earliest exploits of the WildStorm Universe's founding father, featuring the stories from the first twelve issues of his monthly series. The incredible art of Jim Lee (Divine Right) in his distinctive "Deathblow" style is complemented further by the haunting work of Tim Sale (Batman: The Long Halloween); truly a Deathblow dream team. Also included is an extensive gallery of covers and pin-ups by Lee and Sale.]

Deathblow and Wolverine (One-shot; w Aron Weisenfeld; a Aron Weisenfeld & Richard Bennett). [From DC Comics: In 1982, a man named Michael Cray showed up in San Francisco to meet an old friend. Instead, he ran into a stranger named Logan who was being chased by a clan of Ninjas. What ensued was a fast and dirty frolick through ancient legends and the crowded streets of China Town. Deathblow/Wolverine received two Eisner nominations for best art team, Aron Wiesenfeld and Richard Bennett, and best coloring by Monica Bennett.]

Batman/Deathblow: After the Fire (3-issue mini; w Brian Azzarello; a Lee Bermejo, Tim Bradstreet). [From DC Comics: Batman. Deathblow. One of these men is the world's greatest detective with unlimited resources to back his vigilante quest for justice. The other is a soldier, a black-ops killer who will do whatever it takes for the greater good. One holds the sanctity of life above all else, while the other wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet in your brain if his mission called for it. So what happens when the two meet? We'll never know...because Michael Cray, codenamed Deathblow, is dead. The Dark Knight faces the daunting task of finishing a job that someone else started but for reasons that remain a mystery refused to finish. That someone is Michael Cray. And as Batman picks up the pieces of this unfinished job, he's forced to dig up the past of a man who was involved in political actions where diplomacy was not an option. The Dark Knight also learns that the two of them had more in common than he would like to admit. AFTER THE FIRE is a mystery that spans a decade; a tale of secret agents, double agents and a charismatic madman with a fiery, lethal touch. It's also the story of two very different kinds of heroes, and the explosive results of the two crossing paths...even if one of them is dead! WildStorm Productions proudly presents the most unusual crossover of the decade with BATMAN/DEATHBLOW: AFTER THE FIRE, a 3-issue Prestige Format miniseries written by Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, HELLBLAZER), with stunning, evocative art by Lee Bermejo (SUPERMAN/GEN13) and Tim Bradstreet (HELLBLAZER covers) with color by Grant Goleash (100 BULLETS).]
