Teen Titans Go! #1 review

I think we can all do with a laugh right now. If you like grins of the superhero variety, don’t miss this latest run of the TV Teen Titans Go! tie-in, which begins with Starfire, Beast Boy, Robin, Raven and Cyborg excited to be summoned to DC HQ by the editor of their comic book. […]

The Batman & Scooby-Doo! Mysteries #8 review

It’s a typical day in Gotham as a museum guide shows tourists around the Finger Memorial Museum. Yep, a typical day in Gotham. Which also means the good citizens have nothing to fear, as brave guardians abound. Of course, Shaggy and Scooby are soon reunited with Daphne, Freddy, Velma, Batman and Robin because they’ve got […]

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #5 review

When Batman summons Mystery Incorporated to a spooky old house they’ve been to previously, the gang are surprised to find he’s brought a friend along. The Caped Crusader is in a good mood, tickling Scooby-Doo and complimenting Fred’s driving… The young detectives, though, are a tad wary, having encountered scientist Kirk Langstrom in his Man-Bat […]

The Batman & Scooby-Doo! Mysteries #4 review

One of the great things about comic books is that they’re educational, teaching voracious readers such useful words as ‘invulnerable’, ‘telekinesis’, ‘excelsior’, ‘tatterdemalion’ and, if you’re reading Hitman at far too young an age, ‘defenestrate’. And in this latest issue of the series teaming the Gotham Goliath with Crystal Cove’s greatest teen detectives, I learned […]

The Batman and Scooby-Doo Mysteries #9 review

That’s a pretty fun cover – given how often Mystery Inc visit Gotham, a Scooby signal seems entirely appropriate. It’s a bit of a shame that it represents the final page splash, but never mind, there’s lots of great stuff before that. This issue’s hi-jinks kick off with Batman, Batgirl and Commissioner Gordon in Crystal […]

The Batman & Scooby-Doo! Mysteries #8 review

The title of this 12-issue mini-series may have to change as Mystery Inc are decidedly on the outs with Batman this issue. They show up to help when they learn of a Bat Spirit terrorising Gotham, but Batman has a new team of dog adjacent detectives to hand. Told in no uncertain terms that they’re […]

The Batman & Scooby-Doo! Mysteries #6 review

It’s a quiet day in Gotham City… until bank robbers strike. Batman makes the scene and, seeing the Mystery Machine, assumes he can bank on his pals Daphne, Shaggy, Velma, Fred and Scooby-Doo to lend a hand. Nope. The bandits dump their masks and get away. Soon Batman – with the aid of trusty manservant […]

The Batman and Scooby-Doo! Mysteries #5 review

There’s not a lot of Batman in this issue. There’s more Scooby-Doo and friends, but there’s no denying the star of ‘Rat’s All Folks’ is Batwoman. It’s a refreshing change to have another Batman Family member team up with Mystery Inc, as Batman tackles an off-panel alien invasion with the Justice League. So what’s the […]

Harley Quinn Romances #1 review

Now there’s a clever title for the annual giant love anthology from DC. OK, it took me a second to get it, as in the UK we don’t have Harlequin Romances, but it’s undeniably smart. As are the stories in this 86pp spectacular. OK, they aren’t all to my taste, but none are less than […]

The Batman and Scooby-Doo! Mysteries #3 review

If that cover doesn’t grab you, I don’t know what will! And it’s not a cheat, we really do get Batman dancing the Batusi with Mystery Inc in the third issue of DC’s latest series crossing over with the world of Hanna-Barbera. But first, we’ve got a mystery to solve. It’s party time at the […]
