Batman #506 1994

Batman #506, published by DC in April 1994, continues the Knightquest saga. In this issue, Azrael, as Batman, hunts for Abattoir, while Abattoir's cousin places a bounty on his life. This leads to the introduction of Kelvin Mao, who becomes the mercenary Ballistic, and the first appearance of the Malevolent Maniaxe. Batman and Ballistic reluctantly team up against a trio attempting to claim the bounty, making this a key chapter in the ongoing storyline.
