The team from the Mystery Machine couldn't be more excited to meet their idols, and when the villainous Scarecrow attacks at their very first meeting, Scooby may finally realize his dream of fighting crime as the amazing Dog Wonder!

His credits run the gamut from Superman to Star Wars to Scooby-Doo, and from Clive Barker’s Hellraiser to Looney Tunes. His comics for kids have won a Comics Buyer’s Guide Fan Award, and been nominated for an Eisner Award and two Diamond gem awards, while several of his stories for older readers were included in the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novels Action Comics.
Who remembers the Stone age? You know, when Saturday morning was the only time cartoons were on tv? And is there anybody who didn't start singing along when this came on?!
Ok, a lot of these nostalgia laden comics are just a cash grab, but this one was actually pretty good. No, not OhMGodYouGottaReadThis good, but a really cute All-Ages sort of comic. The dialogue is cute enough for young kids who are reading the story for what it is, but also funny for adults who can read between the lines and pick up on the inside jokes.
Mystery Inc. teams up with Batman & Robin to stop Man-Bat and ends up finding Men-Bats in costume...plus the real thing. Rip off those masks, Fred!
Next up, Scooby & Ace the Bathound meet at a convention for detectives.
These two get their own team-up when Scarecrow releases his Fear toxin. Since it doesn't work on dogs, these two are the only ones left to save the day! Luckily, Ace has a spare suit to loan him...
And what kind of comic would it be without a visit from Bat-mite?!
The Teen Titans have a ghost problem, so (naturally) they call in the experts. Scooby & and the gang unmask a couple of pranksters.
They also lend a hand when Raven's relative stops by uninvited. Sure, her father may be Trigon the Terrible, but her uncle is worse. Say hello to Myron the Mildly Irritating!
Next, the gang visits Themyscira to help Wonder Woman with some disappearing monsters. Unfortunately, the boys have to stay on the Invisible Jet, so as not to break the enchantment. No man may set foot on Paradise Island... Who is behind the attacks on the Amazons? How will they catch monsters who can poof into thin air? And most importantly, does the Invisible Jet have a snack bar?!
And last, but not least, we get a team-up with the Superfriends Justice League. The gang gets invited to visit Batman and his pals find out who is behind the ghostly attacks at the Hall of Justice!
I didn't expect to like this very much, but it was adorable! If you still hold fond memories of eating cereal on the couch, while watching a bunch of teenagers and their dog build elaborate traps to catch masked bad guys? Well, you might get a kick out of this one. Besides...
Scooby-Doo and the gang team up with various DC characters like Batman & Robin, Wonder Woman, and the Justice League for a series of all-ages adventures in Scooby-Doo Team-Up, Volume 1. And it’s not bad!
The Batman team-ups were the best ones, as they battle first Man-Bat and then Scooby and Ace the Bat-Hound take on the Scarecrow in the second. The Bat-Mite story was ok (there’s really only one type of Bat-Mite story and it’s the same one here) but the second half of the book featuring the Teen Titans, Wonder Woman and the Justice League weren’t as interesting.
And that’s the thing: the stories are understandably tame and simply-plotted given that this is an all-ages book but writer Sholly Fisch doesn’t make them boring for adult readers either. He also effortlessly captures the tone and characters’ voices from both the Scooby-Doo and the Super Friends TV shows. Artist Dario Brizuela draws the book to match the Scooby-Doo cartoon’s visual style, switching it up to look like Teen Titans Go! for their issue, and his clean lines and bright colours are suitably appealing to look at.
As a fan of both Batman and Scooby-Doo, I found Scooby-Doo Team-Up, Volume 1 to be a surprisingly decent read but I also wouldn’t tell adult readers to expect too much here. It’s ideal though for DC fans with kids who want to read something with their little ones!
I'm a Scooby-Doo fan from way back, particularly the episodes where they teamed with celebrity guests like Batman or the Harlem Globetrotters, so this was on my radar. Thankfully, my wife bought it for me in an effort to stave off cabin fever for another couple days.
In this volume, the Mystery, Inc. gang team up with Batman & Robin, Wonder Woman, the Teen Titans, and the Superfriends. Sholly Fisch and Dario Brizuela do a great job replicating the look and feel of old Scooby-Doo episodes.
There are also plenty of nods to silver age DC comics and lots of humor only adults will get. "Why does Robin sound different when he's with the Teen Titans than he does with Batman? He doesn't sound so much like Shaggy anymore..."
While Scooby-Doo Team-Up is geared toward young readers, there's also plenty for adults to enjoy. Four out of five Scooby Snacks.
The lame jokes actually add to the nostalgia of this Scooby-Doo team-up book. Brings me back to a childhood watching reruns of it on Cartoon Network. Those team-up episodes were fun, and is referenced in the first chapter. Basically, the first chapter is heavy with "The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair" references.
It's a lot of fun, and I'm interested as what the second volume would bring.
A fun, short read. Very reminiscent of the old Scooby-Doo and Batman & Robin cartoons. Take a few minutes and enjoy, you’ll feel like you’re a kid on Saturday morning again.
The original Scooby-Doo series ran for only three seasons but it seems like forever. Infinite works (from a whole bunch of TV shows to those crappy-looking modern live-action films) have been created since but why not if the characters work. I think we all have seen the show when we were kids so there’s probably a lot of nostalgia running around that must motivate people to keep doing the character. I like Scooby-Doo as a timeless classic especially now that some children programmes have forgotten to be “naive”. Scooby-Doo is the most straightforward story ever; they terrorific creatures that are always scaring Shaggy and Scooby can be switched to regular non-scaring people by only the pull of a mask. I’d say Scooby-Doo is the perfect encapsulation of childhood and for me, going back to these characters makes me go back to a time when everything was simpler.
Of course, Scooby-Doo relays in the simplicity of his formula which means that you will get tired of seeing always the same story with only minor changes. And this is where Scooby-Doo Team Up comes in because, while it still adheres to the old Scooby-Doo storyline, it introduces new characters that interact in different ways with the Gang. The team-ups sure make things way fun. There a lot of funny tidbits here and there, for example this one: Scooby-Doo and Ace, the Bat Hound jump into frame in a while the narrator says something deep about fighting crime and stuff. Scooby-Doo: “Where did that lightning came from” Bat-Hound: “That happens all the time. Gotham has strange weather. And of course someone says “And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids”. If wouldn’t be Scooby-Doo without it.
Scooby and the Gang team up with Batman and Robin from the ‘66 (which if just hilarious by looking at Robin’s costume), our favorite Amazon and the Teen Titans among others and it’s funny seeing the almighty superheroes get saved by the Gang.
Overall: This is a good book to read if you looking for a light unassuming read. Give it to your kids so that they can start becoming comic book fans.
P.S.: One thing I didn’t like about the book it that is printed in that kind of paper that is kind of rough when you touch it, unlike all the New 52 books, for example, which have more glossy paper.
I haven't even read this but it makes me so happy that the entire series is FREE on Kindle right now!
Let's read some nonsense Scooby comics like kids for a while...
After reading:
Scobby Doo comics are pretty interesting and hilarious, coupled up with other superheroes, it was a blast. There are 3-4 stories each with different villains and amazing mask-pulling reveal at the end.
This was almost perfect, the first few issues had me feeling nostalgic and laughing out loud. It then lost me around the middle, but managed to bring me back.
The first three stories were perfection! In the first, "Man Bat and Robbin'", Scooby and the gang team up with '66 Batman and Robin which was a throwback to my absolute favorite Scooby Doo episode, "The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair" (1972).
I had this episode recorded on VHS, remember those, and it is directly referenced in the story, YAY!
The next story 'Who's Scared?' featured Scooby teaming up with Ace the Bathound, I died and went to silver age heaven.
"Two Mites Make it Wrong" features, you guessed it, another silver age invention, BAT-MITE. It was absolutely delightful!
Then comes the Teen Titan crossover, and I....hated it! I have never read/watched Teen Titans and I found them to be incredibly annoying. The team then meets up with Wonder Woman and finally the Super friends, with all these retro throwbacks the Teen Titans felt incredibly out of place. The book would have been perfect if not for this random attempt to make it more relevant to the modern reader.
Overall, this had me feeling like a kid again. This book was pure fun!
Remember those old Scooby Doo shows when the Mystery gang teamed up with celebrities and superheroes? Those were a blast to watch. I was tickled to come across a DC Comics crossover graphic novel comics series featuring Scooby Doo and the gang "Team-Up" with superheroes once again.
There were six separate stories, or issues, I should say.
Issue 1, Scooby, Mystery Gang., Batman and Robin team-up once again to investigate a Man-Bat sighting.
In issue 2, Scooby and the gang go to a meeting of Gotham City's famous Mystery Analysts group and a villain drops in. It's up to Scooby and the Bathound to save the day.
In issue 3, it felt like Scooby and the Gang with Batman and Robin are stuck in Shakespeare's Midsomer Night's dream when Bat-Mite mixes things up when the heroes and teen detectives are on a case to stop villainous thieves. It was more mischief than case.
In issue 4, Robin and the Teen Titans Go (which I wasn't familiar with, but this didn't matter) call Scooby and the gang to deal with their recently haunted house and Raven's annoying uncle. It was another more mischief than case.
In issue 5, Daphne and Velma visit Wonder Woman and the rest of the Amazons on Paradise Island to learn and train in all things Amazon when Wonder Woman shares that the Amazons have a mythological mystery on their hands.
In issue 6, the grand finale story was the gang gets called in by the Superfriends to deal with a ghost problem and a disappearance at the Hall of Justice.
Mixed bag of liked some and loved others. The illustrations were fabulous and the dialogue was fun. Definitely recommend to Scooby and superhero fans of all ages.
Truly a book for a 'family' audience. My daughter is a fan of Wonder Woman, Batman & Robin, and Teen Titans Go! (while only superficially familiar w/ the Mystery, Inc. gang - Scooby and his friends are not a ubiquitous presence on TV anymore) and enjoyed it as a straight-forward action/comedy book. Adults of a certain age - attention, Gen-Xers! - will enjoy the nostalgia and occasional sly references / humor with all of the involved characters. POW! BAM! . . . Zoinks!
A fun jump back to my childhood due to all Scooby comics being free right now through DC Comics. The mash-ups were entertaining and intertwined the characters well.

Loved this! Scooby and the gang team up with DC's batman and robin, the teen titans, wonder woman and the super friends. There is also some bat mite/scooby mite action in one issue. The art styles mimic the different shows and books perfectly and the writing is true to character. It's very easy to imagine the lines with the voices that we are accustomed to hearing on television. I love that it occasionally pokes fun at itself, mentioning the old television shows and referencing how Robin seems "different" around the Titans. The Daphne/Velma/Wonder Woman cover made me ridiculously happy and the reference to "danger prone Daphne" made it even better for me. It's silly and fun and completely worth the read.
If you're old enough to remember the team-ups that happened in the old Scooby Doo cartoon, then you'll love this. It was actually much better than I was expecting it to be. First, the jokes are pretty good. There are jokes that make fun of the tropes of Scooby Doo, DC heroes, and team-ups in general. Second, it is well-written. You can almost hear the voices of the characters as they speak. Shaggy in particular really sounds like Shaggy. There are also two different versions of Robin, and they both sound distinct. Overall, this is better than you think it is, and it is worth picking up.
Charmigt, kort litet äventyr, där Batman och Robin (60-tals upplagan med Adam West och Burt Ward) sammanstrålar för ett litet äventyr. Inget djuplodande karaktärsuppbyggande och tungrodda intriger, utan har man sett den klassiska tv-serien ”Batman” och/eller den tecknade serien ”Scooby-Doo” så vet man vad man får. Här i en kondenserad upplaga. En underhållande nostalgikick som jag definitivt gillade.
[English] Charming, short little adventure, where Batman and Robin meet for a little adventure. No in-depth character-building and cumbersome plots, and if you have seen the classic TV series "Batman" (the 60s flavor with Adam West and Burt Ward) and/or the cartoon series "Scooby-Doo" you know what you are getting. Here in a condensed edition. An entertaining nostalgia kick that I liked.
I read a couple issue of this series as it came out, depending on who the guest star(s) were, but never committed to it. The whole series was recently available for free on Comixology, so I grabbed them and am I ever glad I did. The six issues collected here are delightful. The team-ups are a ton of fun, with cool moments and great jokes. I mean, how can you not like Scooby playing the Dog Wonder to Ace the Bat-Hound? Kudos to writer Sholly Fisch for being able to craft these stories with the right amount of in-jokes, character work, and neat ideas. None of it would work, however, without the great cartooning of Dario Brizuela. His work on the crossover with the gang and the Teen Titans (in their Go! form) is a wonderful mixture of two art styles. Seriously, this is incredibly engaging and charming comics and I highly recommend.
I read this out loud to my four year old after he received it as a gift. It was better than I thought it would be, especially the Teen Titans and Wonder Woman appearances (what can I say, I play favorites).
Enjoyable and goofy. It's as advertised. Scooby and the gang team up with various DC characters, from old friends Batman & Robin, to the new (as of 2014) Teen Titans. It's fine. There are some clever jokes and the characters are written fairly well for those who are familiar.
Das hat Spaß gemacht! Scooby und seine Freunde bekämpfen mit Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman... Bösewichte. Manchmal mit der typischen Demaskierung, manchmal ohne 😃
I gave up on trying to find the individual issues of this series. I'm a bargain hunter and I couldn't find anything cheaper than cover price. So I went to Amazon where with the price of shipping included, I only spent $4 on a used but very good copy of Scooby-Doo Team-Up Volume 1. The first several issues of this volume are Batman heavy. But that's okay as you always go with your heaviest hitters when doing a team-up series. If this was a Marvel title, the Mystery Gang would be having adventures either with Spider-Man or Deadpool. Plus, the 2 iconic team-up episodes from the 70s Scooby-Doo show with the Dynamic Duo were the inspiration for this series in the first place. I really love this series. I look forward to a new adventure every month thanks to the deft pen of Sholly Fisch and the awesome art talents of Dario Brizuela. This is such a great series and there are lots of very good condition used copies of this volume that you can get for literal pennies on the dollar on Amazon.
I say, without irony, that this might be the best comic book I have ever read. I want to give a copy to every seven-year-old I know so that their childhoods will not be deprived of this book in the way that mine--so tragically--was.
I got this and the over 8 volumes on the DC x Scooby Doo graphic novel collections free from Comixology during the first summer of Covid in 2020. They were giving away a lot of free content & figured people probably needed something easy going which it is. I read the occasional story on & off over the last two years. I thought I would read the last one in this first collection today. Trying to make my Third read of The sandman last a bit longer & whilst I awaited dinner. I’m not a Scooby Doo fan really, no hatred for the show but there were better ‘classic’ cartoons on Cartoon Network. But, I do love me some DC so free was worth a try. It does have its moments of charm, the art is bright & colourful. There are jokes for Dc fans but I could see how this story could easily be given to a younger kid too. Though the nostalgia market it feels is likely an aim too. If you’re a Scooby Doo fan probably pop it up a star. Will I read the other 7? Maybe the occasional story, like with this one when await on something & a quick & easy story takes my fancy, then all signs point to who knows?
This book was ok. It had multiple comic volume additions in it. Some of the stories were really good and it was interesting to see Mystery Inc. teaming up with some popular superheroes to solve mysteries and fight crimes, but some of the other stories were ridiculous and pointless and seemed to just be thrown together because things with Scooby Doo an popular superheroes are sure to sell and make some money. One of the stories I noticed the pictures didn’t even match part of the storyline. One of the characters had been kidnapped pages before and had not yet been saved yet she appeared in pictures running with the Mystery Inc. gang. I would think someone could have come up with better stories to replace the bad ones and could keep the pictures more consistent with the story line. Overall it was a cute and quick read. I just wish someone had taken more pride in writing and editing some of the stories to make it the really good comic book it could have been.
