Batman Vol. 4: The Cowardly Lot by James Tynion IV
3.0

This was decent but the weakest entry so far.

This is about scarecrow fucking shit up. Making a fear state. Yep, fear toxin. Making whole state fear him. Clever title. But this is more a prelude to the event coming and it builds up how scarecrow gets control of the entire city while introducing a new character, miracle Molly, who is basically the woman of the people.

It's not bad, the art is as always amazing, and there's some great fight scenes mixed with interesting character moments for Bruce. I also liked Miracle Molly, and I thought she'd come across to Punchline but instead was way different and fun. I would like more of her. But nothing major happens and this feels like just a part 1 of a bigger story.

A 3 out of 5.
