Batman: The Dark Knight, Volume 2: Cycle of Violence by Vicente Cifuentes, Mico Suayan, Gregg Hurwitz, Juan José Ryp, Richard Friend, David Finch
4.0
This is so much better than volume 1. Scarecrow is super creepy, the plot and origin story are really dark, and it's all tied together well by the art, as it should be.
The way they solve the mass fear gas attack that must be in every single Scarecrow arc is laugh out loud stupid though. Seriously, if you can manage it, just skip those few pages and pretend everyone being cured was a Christmas miracle. "Santa did it" is better than that idiocy. I really enjoyed the rest though and the "mass fear" solution is always stupid, so I'm not knocking off much for it.
