🔥 New Order
Cover-dated July 2000, this issue marks a tonal shift as Jean-Paul Valley begins redefining his identity after abandoning the original Azrael mantle one month earlier. Written by Dennis O’Neil with art by Roger Robinson and James Pascoe, the story introduces a dangerous new status quo through the return of Lilhy—and the shocking debut of a new, lethal Azrael.
Leslie Thompkins and Brian Bryan celebrate Jean-Paul’s symbolic “birthday,” commemorating his shedding of the old Azrael identity. The warmth of the moment quickly gives way to Jean-Paul’s lingering thoughts about the Order of St. Dumas and Lilhy’s absence.
Unbeknownst to him, Lilhy has returned to Gotham in spectacularly ruthless fashion. Having stolen major artifacts from the Order, she attempts to sell them to a wealthy collector for twenty million dollars. The deal turns bloody when the collector double-crosses her. With chilling efficiency, Lilhy’s new Azrael brutally kills the collector and his guards, leaving Lilhy to simply take the antiques by force.
That same night, Jean-Paul broods atop a church until Batgirl arrives. Though she cannot speak, her presence—and her silent disappointment at seeing him out of costume—makes Jean-Paul question who he is without the Azrael identity. After she departs, Batman arrives with a revelation that shakes Jean-Paul to his core: his biological mother may still be alive, having possibly fled the Order.
The issue closes with Jean-Paul caught between past and future, while Lilhy charts a new and dangerous path of power, corruption, and manipulation—ushering in a true “new order” for the world of Azrael.
