“I guess Charlie had the cruelest intentions of all.”

its-always-sunny-charlie-and-dee-find-loveAfter getting rear-ended by an attractive, and rich, young man (Josh Casaubon) and his sister (Alexandra Daddario), Charlie (Charlie Day) and Dee (Kaitlin Olson) find themselves invited to dinner. Not willing to see the pair screw this up, Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Mac (Rob McElhenney), Frank (Danny DeVito) offer their own brand of helpful support which leads to an awkward dinner that somehow, despite all logic, doesn’t turn off the pair’s new friends.

Believing the situation to be too good to be true, and some kind of rich game of humiliation, Dennis, Mac, and Frank tag along on a trip to the Taft mansion the next day. After he stops trying to hit on Charlie’s new lady love, Dennis does discover that Dee and Mac have gotten themselves humiliated exactly as he thought they would. That’s right, possibly for the first time ever, Dennis Reynolds was right. Dennis is able to get revenge for Mac and Dee’s public humiliation, by showing an awkward recording of Mac and his new rich pal to an entire room of his peers. Charlie’s situation, however, proves to be more complicated.

Batman Adventures / Scooby Doo Halloween Fest

bataman-scooby-halloween-freeOne of the free Halloween comics this year Batman Adventures / Scooby Doo Halloween Fest reprints stories from both comics. From Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #2 we get the Scooby Gang investigating the appearance of aliens at the Grand Canyon.

We also get a pair of short Batman stories from Batman Adventures #1 featuring a short origin of the hero and Batman taking down the Cavalier and Batman outwitting Hassan, a member of the League of Assassins, into revealing the location of Ra’s al Ghul from part of that story originally printed in Batman Adventures #4.

If you can still find this it’s worth picking up. The Batman stories work better for me than the Scooby-Doo one which feels a little forced with Velma’s lecturing about the importance of the Grand Canyon. However, I do give it credit for staying true to Scooby-Doo’s original premise that all bizarre happenings have a real-life (not alien or mystical) cause. Worth a look.
