Hit-Monkey - The Estate

While sadly not furthering the Akiko (Olivia Munn) storyline, “The Estate” involves the Collective dealing with the last living member of the Aldermen and retrieving the final artifact which has an effect on animals temporarily pushing Monkey against his new killer friends. After a purposefully off-putting setup, there’s plenty of action with the most notable piece of the episode being Haruka‘s (Ally Maki) observation about one of the members of the Collective leading to some troubling conclusions which will lead to friend vs. friend in the next episode.

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #9

There may not be a mystery to solve in The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #9 but there’s still plenty of fun to be had when Mystery, Inc. find themselves at a heroes gala without any other heroes.
