Arkham City: The Order of the World #6 is an order and its disordering.
The orderer is Professor Pyg, to whose Asylum Dr. Joy (formerly of Arkham's) and the group in her wake'd been led in #5.
Issue #6 had Dr. Joy " on staff ", observing Pyg's patients in the repurposed slaughterhouse.
Her rounds took her to Dr. Phosphorous and Nocturna.
Dr. Joy addressed them.
" Him " was Azrael, whom Pyg and No-Face (the professor's shapeshifting accomplice) had manipulated to hound the former Arkhamites loose in Gotham, to funnel them into the new Asylum.
" Him " was Azrael, who'd been part of the intake at the end of #5.
(The decapitation of Solomon Grundy was in issue #3.)
Over Dr. Joy's objections, Pyg loosed Azrael, to give him the same kind of therapy Ratcatcher there was getting with his running free.
Azrael, with his flaming sword (which'd been given back to him), rained down on the Asylum's occupants.
Dr. Joy sat alone, listening to the wrack of the wrath.
Eventually, the police showed up - led by Detective Stone, who'd been working with Dr. Joy at the start of the series, as part of the law's effort to corral the scattered ex-Arkhamites.
Stone found Pyg and No-Face and their patients savaged.
He didn't find Azrael - but he did find Joy and the Ten-Eyed Man:
(That was Stone's son and wife whom the Ten-Eyed Man'd been menacing in #5.)
Stone berated Joy - and then the Ten-Eyed Man lunged at him, and cracked his head on the wall.
" If I performed the rituals..
" I would be protected. "
The Ten-Eyed Man gamboled free.
