Batman: Fear State Saga

In 2022, DC Comics launched the Batman: Fear State Saga, a concentrated single-issue collection that distills the sprawling "Fear State" event into its core narrative. Written by James Tynion IV and illustrated by a rotating team of Christian Duce, Guillem March, and Riccardo Federici, this volume captures the climax of the Scarecrow's psychological assault on Gotham, exploring Batman's struggle against a city gripped by manufactured terror. It serves as a streamlined entry point for readers who want the essential beats of this modern Bat-saga without the full crossover.
