Batman #628

In "As the Crow Flies Part Three: Scary Monsters," Batman arrives to confront the Penguin and his forces—only to be overwhelmed by the Scarecrow, now a terrifying, monstrous figure. With the city under siege and the line between villain and horror blurring, Batman must face a threat that’s as much a nightmare as it is a foe. Written by Judd Winick and illustrated by Dustin Nguyen, with inks by Richard Friend, colors by Alex Sinclair, and letters by Clem Robins, the issue’s chilling atmosphere is perfectly captured in the cover by Matt Wagner.
