I actually enjoyed The Escapist Vol. 1. As for the self-referentiality, I think that aspect was entirely necessary to carry off the premise of the book being a history/anthology of a comic that never existed in the first place. The only Chabon I've read is The Final Solution (I'm a Holmes fan since childhood) and Maps and Legends.
