Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 1: Mythology by Peter J. Tomasi
4.0
Batman faces an enemy who seems to know everything about him. The clues left at crime scenes are grisly reminders of his most traumatic event.
Even though this story begins with the Wayne's deaths, it doesn't just retell the same story we have heard a thousand times. This time it focused on the impact those events had on Bruce Wayne. I love the line, "a beaten and bloodied young man is saved by a cow and a bell."
The art is really impactful. A couple is murdered and they are dressed as the Wayne's. The art just makes every move the villain makes seem even more creepy.
The ending was interesting and I enjoyed seeing the other characters and the underlying message that Batman is not in a healthy mental state.
