Scooby-Doo Team-Up: Doomed

Scooby-Doo Team-Up (2013-): Doomed!  by Sholly Fisch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scooby-Doo Team-Up: Doomed collects material from Scooby-Doo Team-Up #37-43.

As I've said before, I'm a Scooby-Doo guy from way back, specifically the ones where the gang teams with a special guest. In the case of this volume, the special guests are Supergirl & Streaky the super cat, Dynamutt & Blue Falcon, The Justice Society, Swamp Thing, The Ant Hill Mob, The Doom Patrol, and a host of DC's gorilla or gorilla adjacent characters.

The Doom Patrol story was easily my favorite but all of the stories were fun. I did not expect references to The Painting That Ate Paris or Danny the Street in a kid's comic! The only story I wasn't ass over teakettle for was the Ant Hill Mob one but that's because I wasn't familiar with the characters.

While the book is geared toward kids, it's still fun for adults. Sholly Fisch perfectly captures the tone of the Scooby-Doo characters and while he's respectful and reverent to the DC characters, he doesn't mind making jokes at their expense, like Wonder Woman's role as the Justice Society's secretary.

Scooby-Doo Team-Up: Doomed is fun for kids and adults and shows more love to the history of the DC universe than the main line has in years. Four out of five stars.
