This was a pretty enjoyable first issue for Batman following Infinite Frontier. Batman and Ghost-Maker continue to be fairly enjoyable together, and everything else was interesting as well. Scarecrow is one of my favorite Batman villains, so I'm excited to see him get a big spotlight with the Fear State event. Speaking of said event, I thought this laid some good groundwork for it and I'm intrigued to see how it develops. Plus, it's really great to have just one singular artist on this title again. It also helps when said artist is the incredible Jorge Jimenez. Along with this issue, the backup Robin story was entertaining. I'm probably not going to read the follow-up in Detective Comics, but I am planning on checking out Williamson's Robin run once I finish collecting all the singles.
