“Fear State Alpha”

"Batman: Fear State Alpha" #1 kicks off a city on edge, with Scarecrow holding Batman captive and unveiling a terrifying plan to plunge Gotham into a permanent "fear state." Written by James Tynion IV and illustrated by Riccardo Federici, the issue plunges readers into a Gotham where fear is weaponized—Peacekeeper-01 runs rampant, Barbara’s Oracle is compromised, and the Unsanity Collective takes refuge in Ivy’s underground garden, all while Harley and the Gardener try to reach Queen Ivy. Ben Oliver’s cover captures the chaos with sharp, haunting detail.
