Scooby-Doo Team-Up Vol. 3 by Sholly FischMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Scooby-Doo Team-Up Vol. 3 collects issues 13-18 of Scooby-Doo Team-Up.
Okay, as I've said before, I've been a fan of Scooby-Doo for most of my life, starting with the episode where they teamed up with Batman and Robin. Gougers were gouging for this volume so I waited quite a bit to find it in my cheapness range. Then I had to order another one after the first one was lost somewhere in transit because some douche bag tried to sabotage the post office.
Anyway, this is some all-ages fun. The Mystery Inc gang team up with Deadman & The Phantom Stranger, The Flash, Aquaman & Mera, Hawkman & Hawkwoman, the Marvel Family, and a bunch of super dogs. The stories are geared toward kids but have enough jokes and Silver Age DC references to entertain adults. Dario Brizuela's open, minimalist art style is evocative of Hanna-Barbera art and the Scooby gang are on model. It's interesting seeing Silver Age versions of DC characters drawn in this style. Kid Eternity, G'Nort, and the Grim Ghost don't get much play these days.
Scooby-Doo Team-Up volume 3 is my favorite book in the series so far and it'll be fun reading it with my son in a few years. 3.5 out of 5 Scooby Snacks.
