Easiest scare the Scarecrow ever did.
Scooby-Doo Team-Up #2
DC Comics (March, 2014)
“Who’s Scared?” WRITER: Sholly Fisch ARTIST: Dario Brizuela COLORS: Heroic Age LETTERER: Saida Temofonte ASSISTANT EDITOR: Jessica Chen EDITOR: Kristy Quinn “BATMAN” CREATOR: Bob Kane
The gang is invited by the Caped Crusaders to speak at the Mystery Analysts Of Gotham City. When the Scarecrow attacks the detectives, it’s up to Scooby-Doo and Ace The Bat-Hound to track the villain down and stop his crime spree.
What they got right: Scooby and Ace made a surprisingly good team. I like that someone remembered that Scooby can be brave to help his friends and not just thanks to a Scooby Snack. There are also nods to Detective Chimp and Sam Simeon (Angel & The Ape), and the original detectives are also interesting enough that I kind of want to see a sample case of them in action.
What they got wrong: When Scooby is wearing the spare Robin mask and cape they call him “Dog Wonder”, and nobody mentions Dynomutt? Actually, why wasn’t Dynomutt and Blue Falcon this issues team-up? Is it going to be all Batman? I want to see the Mystery Inc. gang hang out with other characters, either DC or Hanna-Barbera.
Recommendation: It’s still a fun story that’s worth checking out.
