The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7

/ / Comics

With Daphne winning her way into a Gotham City talent show, where Bruce Wayne just happens to be one of the celebrity judges, our gang of young detectives is around to investigate when contestants begin disappearing. There’s some fun to be had here with the comic continuing to show off Daphne’s skills, in a call-back to earlier issues.

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #4

/ / Comics

I must admit, I’m not enjoying this latest season of Batman: The Adventures Continue as much as the earlier runs. Don’t get me wrong, the stories aren’t bad, but as the comic has gotten a bit darker in tone the comic has lost some of the all-ages magic of the series which spawned it.

With Lord Noriyuki leading an army against Lord Hikiju, Miyamoto Usagi‘s heartstrings are pulled by villagers in need of aid. And so Usagi, Tomoe, Jotaro, and Yukichi go in search of an evil Kappa.

Rogue & Gambit #2

/ / Comics

Rogue & Gambit #2 features a short respite for both Rogue and Gambit who find themselves in the middle of nowhere with their powers malfunctioning allowing them a rare opportunity to give into their desires (at least on a PG-rated level) before Black Panther shows up leading to a fight between the three characters in a sleepy town over the location of a common ally.

Events are beginning to pick up. the overconfident Peter Pan has begun cutting a swath through the Black Forest killing anything remotely magical he comes across, up until he runs into a certain pack of wolves that is. While Bigby‘s younglings are enough to turn Pan away, he does escape likely to return with even darker designs for those who humiliated him.
