Bloodlines: Outbreak is nearly over! Before the first quarter of the  event closes, we meet ex-S.W.A.T. officer Kelvin Mao in his insectoid  exoskeleton, and a new blond Batman who is never positively identified  throughout the story (with the reasons for his replacement only alluded  to.) Guess that means we should also look at the Batman: Sword of Azrael mini-series and do an overview of Knightfall/Knightquest/KnightsEnd to  better understand what Jean-Paul Valley is doing here. I once did a wine  tasting tour in the Jean-Paul Valley. That's a joke I now regret  because it conjures imagery I hadn't considered before making it. Where  was I again? These were not engaging stories, so I keep getting  distracted, but you can follow along with 1993's Batman Annual #17 at Scans Daily and get a deeper dive on the Azrael mini-series at NOT BLOG X.
