Scooby-Doo Team-Up: Doomed collects material from Scooby-Doo Team-Up #44-50.
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 Dastardly & Muttley, Black Lightning, Mister Miracle, Magilla Gorilla, Metamorpho, the Flash's Rogues Gallery, and Batman.
The Black Lightning and Mister Miracle team-ups were my favorites in this batch. Crisis of Infinite Scoobies was also a good one, though it was bitter sweet knowing it was the last one. Scott Jeralds does a good Dick Sprang.
While the book is geared toward kids, it's still fun for adults. Sholly Fisch works in enough jokes that will sail over a kid's head and enough DC universe references to keep the more jaded readers entertained. Sholly Fisch should be the one steering the DC universe if they want to bring in more readers.
All good things must come to an end, usually to make room for more Batman books. At least there is a Batman & Scooby-Doo book in the works. Four out of five stars.
This is the final volume of the Scooby-Doo Team-Up series, and there are some really funny stories in this. The highlights for me were a trip to Apokolips for the Scooby gang, a team-up with the Rogues, and Bat-mite story that brings Scooby gangs from across the multiverse. It's pure insanity and a good time for fans of Scooby-Doo.
This was going to be a two star from me, but there were a couple highlights that kicked up for me.
The last story features all the variations of Scooby (like the movies for instance) and was really good with who the villain is revealed to be. There was a wonderful panel where Daphne does kung fu. We get information about what the "kids" are studying which is cool. The Flash story was fun.
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.
The rest of the stories are enjoyable, especially the Flash one, but are overshadowed by the final issue, going all out to accurately portray all versions of the gang meeting (live action, be cool, pup etc).
Perfect for Scooby fans with plenty of references. Everyone hates Scrappy like the internet seems to (can't relate), and shows the most known of oft forgotten side characters like Flimflam, The Hex Girls and Red Herring.
The series shows a lot of love for both kooky old DC concepts and the Scooby ones, and I thoroughly enjoyed it for this. Would recommend, even if you know little about DC.
The last volume in the series, darn it. Most of the book follows the same formula as always, but I like the formula: they help out Metamorpho, Dastardly and Muttley, Flash's Rogues and Black Lightning. Then comes the monumental Easter Egg of the final issue, which teams them up with Batman and Robin and brings in obscure Scooby supporting characters (Vincent Van Ghoul and Red Herring!) and pretty much every version of the team, such as DC's Scooby Apocalypse. A gloriously over-the-top finish.
While I can't say I would recommend the volume as a whole, the big finale issue #50 is well worth checking out. A cool multiversal Mystery Inc. team-up that references a bunch of cool Scooby-Doo series from over the decades, from the television shows to the films.
What a treat this series has been. If DC hadn't given it away for free, it would never have occurred to me to buy it, but it's been a pure pleasure. And for this final volume to end with a crisis of infinite Scoobies was the icing on the cake.
I loved the team-up series and now it's over. I want to read it more and more. I will miss it so much, I wish I could read it more as it was awesome🥺🥺🥺
This volume ends the run on a title that was fun and nostalgic for me. The concept worked, and the creative team easily brought readers up to speed on guests they might not be previously familiar.
