Ghost-Maker Reading List and Order (ultimate cool version by me so its correct)
essential reading/recommended reading/optional reading
Batman v3 (2016) #100 [this is his first appearance, but it's very brief and not necessary to understand the character]
Batman v3 (2016) #102-105 [Ghost-Maker's introduction arc, very important]
Batman v3 (2016) #106-111 [lead-in to the Fear State arc, lots of good moments, the secondary story starting in #107 is Ghost-Maker focused and absolutely essential to understanding him]
Batman v3 2021 annual [my favorite Ghost-Maker story of all time]
Batman Fear State Alpha [he's barely in this, but if you want some context]
Batman v3 (2016) #112-117
Catwoman (2018) #37-38 [I have a fun time with these appearances, but you don't need to read them unless you like the Wight Witch story-line]
Batman Urban Legends #11-13 [he shows up briefly in the Wight Witch 'Stigma' story-line]
Batman Fear State Omega [he's barely in this, but he has such funny lines]
Batman v3 (2016) #118-121 [context for Batman Inc stuff if you want it]
Shadow Wars [an event story that Ghost-Maker shows up in. Find a reading order on the Wikipedia page]
Batman: The Knight (2022) #1-10 [technically he doesn't show up until issue 4, but just read the whole thing. Also this is the most up to date cannon of the backstory, even if I like it less :/]
Batman v3 2022 annual [Batman Inc kick-off]
Batman Incorporated v3 (2022-2023) #1-12
DC Pride (2023) "The Dance"

I got this head canon that Crocodile and Mihawk both secretly adore Buggy's long blue hair and when Buggy allows one of his crew to do it up in an intricate braided style, all bets are off as Crocodile and Mihawk finally claim their Emperor Clown.
Crocodile and Mihawk go on a whole journey concerning their feelings for Buggy's hair.
First they're just annoyed by it (as they are with Buggy in general) because dear god he's got it in pigtails coming out of his hat what the fuck
Then its curiosity. Crocodile just stares at Buggy wondering how the hell he gets all his hair underneath his bandana. Buggy just naturally assumes Crocodile is sizing him up to swallow him whole, nevermind thats anacondas not crocodiles. its all still painful reptile based death in Buggy's book
Rage quickly overtakes curiosity however, when Mihawk and Crocodile first see Buggy with his hair down, freshly washed but still slightly curling from the salt air. It looks soft and shiny and like it would be wonderful to run their fingers through, and this is just Unacceptable! Buggy's supposed to be nothing more than an idiotic clown! He shouldn't make either of them feel things.
The breaking point is when Buggy's hair is up in a braided crown style, the blue broken up by small treasures they recently acquired. Pearls and gold chains and little delicate jewels are weaved through his hair and it all glints in the circus lights as he throws his head back and laughs at some idiotic joke one of his crew made and Oh Fuck The Clown's Got Them

Hey I just caught up on batman incorporated and and I'm so heckin happy they gave Bao his original costume back
As well as put his hair back the way it was before Ahhhhh
Also I'm so happy he's like a main player in the series. So glad he's getting shit now
(ID:
Image one: Two comic panels, a large one and a small narrow one along the bottom. The first panel has clownhunter jumping down from a roof saying "i know a place we can ask around... but they don't trust adults, so you geezers wait here." Red Raven and Batman of Japan watches his descent from the roof. Panel two has Batman of Japan and Red Raven look at each other, Red raven says "Wait, how old does he think we are?"
Image two: A cropped part of a comic panel. It contains a bust of Clown hunter with is helmet off, he has a short fade hair cut and an ark scar on his scalp
