Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #24 comic reviewScooby-Doo! Team-Up #24 offers a couple of recognizable guest-stars while also pulling in some of the DCU’s more obscure characters when Mystery, Inc. gets a visit from the Martian Manhunter. Someone is impersonating the hero, making it look as if J’onn is advocating for all the aliens on Earth to rise up and take over the world. Pursued by a secret government agency, the Martian Manhunter asks Scooby-Doo and the gang for help in protect himself, Starfire, Jemm, Starman (no, the other one), and Ultra.

While letting Shaggy and Scooby be fearful of the aliens in their midst, the comic is actually a nice metaphor for refusing to believe those different from you are dangerous only because someone in government says they are. Political commentary isn’t something you’d expect from a Scooby-Doo comic, but I’m guessing writer Sholly Fisch had a specific target in mind.

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #16When Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, and Captain Marvel, Jr. go missing while investigating the latest plans of the Monster Society of Evil, Uncle Dudley and Tawnky Tawny call in Mystery, Inc. to help find the missing members of the Marvel Family.

With it’s add assortment of villains and heroes, Fawcett City proves to be a perfect destination for Scooby-Doo and friends. My only real complaint here (other than not loving the look of Tawny who I want to look a little more cuddly) is that we only get one issue here when there’s such fertile ground to cover (including teasing the one member of the Marvel Family which Scooby doesn’t meet). I’m hoping the team can find an excuse to come back to Fawecett in the near future.

Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #15Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #15 takes Mystery, Inc. from Central City to the darkest jungles of Africa for a team-up with the Flash. After helping the Scarlet Speedster take down the Mirror Master, Scooby and the gang hitch a ride to Gorilla City where everyone, even Grodd, needs their help in dealing with a Gorilla Ghost haunting the city of telepathic apes.

Sholly Fisch and artist Dario Brizuela certainly have fun playing with the Flash’s super-speed (while making note of how everyone involved really should have their own television show). Choosing to make Grodd a victim rather than the gorilla behind the haunting of Gorilla City proves to be a nice twist.
