Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #35 comic reviewLess elaborate than most Scooby-Doo mysteries, Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #35 sends Mystery, Inc. to Jellystone National Park where a simple picnic lunch gets complicated. First the group encounters Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo who attempt to steal their picnic baskets, and then they find a ghost within Yogi’s cave.

Believing that Yogi is responsible for the entire fiasco, Ranger Smith decides to send the troublesome bear to the zoo. To save the bear, who has done nothing but lie to them and steal from them since they met him, Scooby-Doo and friends will have to investigate yet another mystery and discover the truth about the ghost and missing picnic baskets.

Giles #1

/ / Comics

Giles #1 comic reviewWe may never have gotten the Giles television show Joss Whedon wanted, but the Watcher now earns his own four-issue mini-series written by Whedon and Erika Alexander. To catch up those who don’t know, after being killed by Angel, Giles was resurrected but as a teenager. After helping the Scooby Gang, Giles has now been sent in undercover at an inner-city Los Angeles high school (partly to hide him from the anti-magic government and partly to allow the teenage Watcher to investigate odd occurrences in the high school).

Chronologically taking place somewhere near the end of Season 11, there’s more than a little deja vu here as Giles uncovers odd things happening in the high school basement and also falls for a female student named Roux who turns out to be a good vampire, a fact which doesn’t stop him from flirting with her.

Jessica Jones #17

/ / Comics

Jessica Jones #17 comic reviewJessica Jones #17 brings a conclusion (at least for now) to the odd relationship between Jessica Jones and Zebediah Killgrave, the Purple Man. It’s a talky final issue between the pair as Jessica refuses Kilgrave’s offer and verbally spars over the reasoning against using his powers at all (even for the greater good). Despite the temptation, Jessica is firmly against the possibility of using Killgrave to “fix” the world. Is it the right decision? Perhaps, perhaps not, but it is the only one (given their history) that Jessica could make.

I’ll admit the end, Kilgrave’s exit (if indeed it is an exit and not some elaborate feint), left me a bit cold. Far from going out in style, our villain simply ceases to be which leads into a great panel by artist Michael Gaydos on the relief which washes over our heroine like a tidal wave.

Detective Comics #975

/ / Comics

Detective Comics #975 comic reviewAlthough she isn’t present for the proceedings, Detective Comics #975 convenes the rest of the Bat Family to discuss Batwoman and her choice to kill Clayface. While Batman sits largely silent, each member of the team presents their case for or against the woman they all saw as an ally.

While Nightwing, Red Hood, and Red Robin all come down basically as you would expect from each of the characters, it’s Batgirl whose thoughts prove the most enlightening (not on how the team should necessarily deal with Batwoman but how Batman’s actions helped lead to this tragedy that left one member of the team dead and another shattered). She makes a strong argument against Batman’s decision process to bring Batwoman into the fold.
