Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #1

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #1Okay, there are two things you should know about me before we begin. 1) I love me some classic Batman. And 2) I love me some classic Scooby-Doo. What happens when you throw these two things together for the first issue of Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #1? You get the most fun Batman comic I’ve read in more than two years!

While checking out rumors of an man-sized bat-creature in the area, Scooby-Doo and Mystery, Inc. run into Batman and Robin who are chasing down scientist Kurt Langstrom who has transformed into Man-Bat. Fans of Scooby-Doo Meets Batman will enjoy the lighthearted tone and fun of the all-age comic that delivers plenty of action as the Scooby Gang help the Dynamic Duo take down a group of masked robbers as well as the creature himself. And I can’t tell you how much I love seeing Batman back in his classic costume (although with better art than in those Scooby episodes).

Both young and old fans should find something worth picking up here in a comic I couldn’t help but smile through as I turned every single page. Best of the Week.

Thanks to the help of Lisbon, Rigsby (Owain Yeoman), Cho (Harry Groener), and Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) who get themselves all arrested, Jane is free to keep his meeting with Red John who, as I suspected, is not Gale Bertram (which Jane knew as well).

Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Watson (Lucy Liu) investigate a skillfully managed suicide by a young woman attempting to frame the man (Troy Garity) she believes mutilated and killed her sister (but who never seriously considered a suspect in the case) for her own staged murder. Although Holmes’ quick deductions at the scene prove the man’s innocence for the previous night’s killing, the consulting detective suspects that the suspect may have indeed killed the young woman’s sister (and possibly several others).
