Finally it feels like Tynion IV’s run is worth reading (even though it will be ending after Fear State). I really enjoyed the writing for this arc, and the pages look gorgeous thanks to Jimenez’s art and Morey’s colours.

I’d totally read an ongoing of Miracle Molly and Squeak, really want to see lots more of them!

Même si il vaut mieux avoir lu Joker War en entier et avoir suivis un peu rebirth (ce que je n'ai pas fait), j'ai adoré ce nouvel arc de Batman ! Il est assez sombre et marque le retour d'un des méchants que je préfères : L'épouvanteur !

I really enjoyed this one.

This follows Batman as he is dealing with the Scarecrow as he seems to be working with a group of villains.

It was a fun read and interesting to see what Batman is doing with all that is going on.

The story was fun and the plot was good. I really enjoyed seeing Scarecrow as the main villain in this one.

This was a fun graphic novel to read.

I guess it was good?

We basically are introduced to some new characters like Simon saint and his magistrate program after the A-Day incident and then we have him forming his peacekeeper and pushing for the privatization of police to hunt down Batma and the other vigilantes in Gotham and he is also secretly working with Scarecrow who has his own plans of domination! The other group, Unsanity Collective, is also introduced here along with a new character - Miracle Molly and we have Batman going undercover against them and then the revelations, double turns, big fight with the Peacekeepers when this group is compromised and a big war coming with Scarecrows as he realizes his even bigger plans!

Its awesome and yeah it does do a good job of hinting at the new characters involved like Miracle Molly and what the status of Gotham is after the A-Day attacks and also loving the focus on "fear" and like what it means and how it affects Batman and his own self. Plus side chs with Harley and Ghost-maker were fun and shining a light on Simon SAINT, who looks a bit like Steve jobs but then again giving Batman new challenges which I like about this run and then the way all these characters come together is fascinating as it leads to a big face off and leads to FEAR STATE like really well and Jiemenez returns for the artwork which is so awesome!
