Batman: Fear State Alpha #1 NM Jorge Jimenez Sketch Cvr, DC, 2021

Batman: Fear State: Alpha #1 is the opening chapter of James Tynion IV’s Fear State event, thrusting Gotham into chaos as Scarecrow’s fear toxin and a militarized response escalate the citywide crisis and set up the crossover’s major conflicts. The issue bridges multiple Bat-books and advances plotlines around Gotham’s security state and the fallout from previous arcs.
