0 on The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries (2022) #11 reviewBatman and Scoob are back and so is Erich Owen who continues to be my favorite artist working on this series. The question is, can the writing live up to his art? Let’s see. This month, Sholly Fisch is back on scripting duties and the theme is AI and cyberspace. It was bound to happen…
Main Story As suddenly as it began, Batman: Knight Terrors is wrapping up. In a lot of ways, this month is more of the same. However, there is one key difference… me! Casper was unable to find enough time for this review so, I’m here to pick up the slack. With that out of the…
We’ve reached the halfway point of this Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month title and though it started strong and still has a lot of good things going for it, it’s beginning to become frustrating as well. Why is that? Well, let’s get into it. Last month, the plot elements from issue one developed…
Batman and Scooby-Doo needed a win after last month’s fiasco. Personally, I desperately needed this series to wash the sour taste out of my mouth. So, does issue 10 fulfill that need? Let’s see! In short, this issue is “not bad.” There aren’t major flaws in this story and this isn’t a case of death…
The Vigil is back this month for more mystery and intrigue! I thought the first issue was a pretty solid start but felt a little lacking in characterization for the team. Can part two remedy this problem while maintaining what was already working? Let’s see! I did enjoy this issue. Unfortunately, it also makes what…
I had mixed expectations going into this issue. On one hand, it’s written by Matthew Cody, who previously wrote my favorite issue of this series. On the other, it’s drawn by Scott Jeralds, who I was less than impressed by when he drew issue four. Well, my expectations were subverted on both counts. This issue…
The Vigil is a new superhero team book that is a part of DC’s We Are Legends initiative, celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Month. As these characters were previously teased in a Lazarus Planet tie-in alongside Red Hood and then made an appearance in Detective Comics, it seemed that they were being set up…
This month in The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries, it seems that Batman has replaced the gang with a new mystery-solving team. Meanwhile, an ancient bat spirit is haunting Gotham. Can Scoob and his friends solve the case first and prove to Batman that they’re still valuable partners? More importantly, after last month, this title needs a…
After seven short months, Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo has concluded. In this issue, everything is revealed and we are treated to a few twists. So far, this title has been nothing but great. Can it stick the landing though? Well… yes. There were a few things that bothered me and I’ll touch…
This month in The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries, Daphne gets invited to perform in a national talent show held in Gotham. The gang arrives to find contestants going missing and a mystery afoot! But is it any good? Let’s see! There are both positives and negatives to comic books with a rotating creative team. On…
We’ve arrived at the penultimate issue of this phenomenal miniseries and I can’t believe it’s almost over already. The best ones always go too fast. Ah, well. Let’s get into another edition of “William heaps praise on Marc Silvestri.” This issue is one of the strongest yet. There are still some big reveals that are…
Batman and Scooby-doo are back! Only this month there seems to be something wrong with their partnership. Has the Scooby gang gone bad? Let’s see! This month’s story is centered around Batman attempting to stop a spree of robberies while being seemingly abandoned by Mystery Inc. The gang has been warned by Madam Xanadu that…
Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo is heating up! Now that we’re getting closer to the end, answers to our questions are beginning to surface and the stage is being set for an explosive finale. The series has been very successful so far but does this issue maintain that trend? Let’s see! There are…
This month Sholly Fisch has the opportunity to step up his game and deliver an issue that impresses me more than his last. Will he succeed? Let’s see! Okay, it's anticlimactic but I won't keep you waiting. Fisch has done it! This was another great installment in the series. Issue five is focused on some…
Batman/The Joker: The Deadly Duo is now past the halfway point and the mystery is beginning to unravel… or is it? The last issue left us with the reveal of who the villain facing Batman was but it seemed too easy to me and after reading this issue I can sense a twist coming. How…
I have to say I don’t really like the idea behind the One Bad Day specials and I haven’t felt the desire to read any of the previous issues. That won't affect how I score this issue but I can't stop myself from indulging in some commentary on the series as a whole now that it’s…
After the last issue, Batman and his team have finally found Superman and this series is finally drawing to a close. This comic is pretty bad. That’s all that needs to be said and all the discussion that it merits. It’s the type of story that is both frustrating to read and completely forgettable when…
I have to admit, in the back of my mind, I was expecting this series to crash and burn. It’s hard enough to write a good comic to begin with, but telling a Batman/Joker story gets more difficult with every passing year. This is just by virtue of their popularity. So many stories have been…
We’re now up to the fourth issue of The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries and I have to say I feel a little bad about my review of issue one. It’s not that I don’t agree with what I said. I still stand by every word of it. I just hope I didn’t turn anyone off…
It’s a sad day. Sword of Azrael is concluded. This comic has consistently kept me anticipating each month and invested me in a story I didn’t know I wanted told. It would take a pretty spectacular failure for this issue to tarnish the good name that Dan Watters has given the series so far. While…
