Batman: The Dark Knight, Volume 2: Cycle of Violence.



The Scarecrow has never been scarier. Here, he’s kidnapping kids in order to use their tears to manufacture a potent fear toxin. When Scarecrow captures the Dark Knight, the adversaries use psychological warfare to their own personal advantages.

I really like this volume. The story was fantastic but what made this even better was the art, which was Will Eisner’s The Spirit quality. Scarecrow has taken self-mutilation to the next extreme, rivaling the Joker’s appearance of recent years past.

This was the first volume of the New 52 Batman: The Dark Knight that I have read. But, don’t worry, unlike the spanning City of Owls story are in New 52 Batman, this volume is apparently a stand-alone storyline from volume 1. But, that doesn’t mean I am opposed to getting my hands on that and future volumes of this series.

Worth Consuming.

Rating 9 out of 10 stars.
