    If you vote "Other" on the poll, please say which part of the storyline you thought was the worst.

    Death of Orpheus for me. There was SO much potential in that character and his costume was boss.

    I'll add that it was an abysmally executed rip-off of JLA's Tower of Babel, it is technically the end/final arc of Brubaker's Catwoman (he wrote an aftermath/wrap up issue), it produced War Crimes.

    It did have one positive, though, as I really liked Onyx.
    "Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"

    "I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"

    "*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."

    Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!
