All-Star Batman, Volume 1: My Own Worst Enemy, by Scott Snyder
3.0
This was a blast to read through!
It starts off with Killer Moth and Firefly after Batman as he is protecting Two-face. The latter has said if they don't free him he will spill their secrets to the world and to stop that every villain of his is after them including Killer Croc, Cheshire and Copperhead. We learn of what secrets he maybe holding and what Batman plans to do with Harvey, trying to cure him and we learn of their past in some summer-school-boarding house and how they were close friends and why Batman is trying to save Harvey. Next KGBeast comes after them and the fight is epic until the final conclusion, will Harvey be saved or will Two-Face take over fully? Will Batman survive in the end?
All answered really well here and the second story is about Duke's training and how he goes on to become the signal and makes peace with his trauma. Also Victor Zsasz and a mystery there. Fun stuff.
Its a great volume with lots of moving part and I love how its so action oriented and involves almost all bounty hunters or assassins after them and shows Batman and how he will go so far to protect his friend and adds to their backstory. I loved this one from an art perspective as its a delight and never bores you. All moments earned and everything. The facial features were odd sometimes and some scenes were dragged but then again story with lots of fun and everything.
