“Xanadu and Don'ts”

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries was a 12-issue comic book limited series that DC Comics published in 2021 and 2022.  The series brought the characters from both the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? and Batman comic book series together.  Over the past five decades, Mystery Inc.:  Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma, have joined Batman and (often) Robin to solve mysteries in various animated television series and comic books.

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries sold well enough that DC Comics began a second series in October 2022.  The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #6 (“Xanadu and Don'ts”) is written by Ivan Cohen; drawn by Erich Owen; colored by Owen; and lettered by Saida Temofonte.

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #6 (“Xanadu and Don'ts”) opens in Gotham City just as a gang of bank robbers escapes with their loot.  The pedestrian traffic keeps Batman from being able to nab the thieves, but there is something even more troubling.  When the Mystery Machine passes by, Batman asks Mystery Inc. for an assist.  Velma's response is, “Sorry, Batman…” and …”You're on your own!”

What's going on?  What does this have to do with Madame Xanadu and her prophecies of doom?  And which Batman villain is behind a rash of punctuation-themed robberies?

THE LOWDOWN:  As a child, the most important characters in my life were Batman and Robin and Scooby-Doo and company.  I am still excited about the worlds of Batman and Scooby-Doo coming together.  Obviously, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries is one of those comic book series that is perfectly made for me.

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #6 really plays up the series' central conceit, and that is that Batman needs Mystery Inc.'s help in fighting villains and in solving mysteries.  The shock of Velma's refusal to help gives this story an edginess and a sense of conflict and tension that lasts throughout this clever tale.  Plus, an appearance by Madame Xanadu is an extra treat.

I like Erich Owen's art.  It has a 3D quality that recalls old Hanna-Barbera and Scooby-Doo cartoons in that the backgrounds seem separate from the characters that are in the foreground of the compositions.  Owens even offers a cool design for Batman's motorcycle (Batcycle?).  All in all, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #6 is a really good read.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of the union of the worlds of Batman and Scooby-Doo will want The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries.

[This comic book includes a seven-page preview of the DC Comics original graphic novel, “Teen Titans Go! DC Super Hero Girls: Exchange Students!” by Amy Wolfram and Agnes Garbowska.]

Comics Review: "THE AMBASSADORS #5" - Old Man Holdin'

THE AMBASSADORS #5 (OF 6)

IMAGE COMICS/Netflix

STORY: Mark Millar

ART: Matteo Buffagni

COLORS: Michele Assarasakorn

LETTERS: Clem Robins

EDITORIAL: Sarah Unwin

COVER: Matteo Buffagni

VARIANT COVER ARTIST: Leinil Francis Yu

28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (May 2023)

Rated M / Mature

The Ambassadors created by Mark Millar at Netflix

The Ambassadors is a comic book miniseries written and created by Mark Millar.  The series focuses on the six people out of eight billion humans who will receive super-powers.  Each person will become a member of  the international rescue squad, The Ambassadors.  Each issue of The Ambassadors will be drawn by a different superstar comic book artist.  The fifth issue is drawn by Matteo Buffagni; colored by Michele Assarasakorn; and lettered by Clem Robins.

The Ambassadors focuses on the efforts of Doctor Choon-He Chung.  The technology of her company, Chung Solutions (the world leader in bio-engineering and artificial intelligence), built her a new body.  Now, she wants to share super-powers with the world.  From her “Base-Control” which is in Antarctica, Choon-He is building “The Ambassadors.”

The Ambassadors #5 opens in Siberia.  There, we meet "Codename Australia."  He is Bob Taylor.  Six weeks ago, he was a 72-year-old man whose body was failing him.  Now, he is the superhero who is Australia's “Ambassador.”  Once upon a time, however, he was a anti-progressive man who specialized in racist and homophobic attacks.  Can Bob change?

Meanwhile, Jin-Sung Chung, Choon-He's former husband, makes his most startling moves in the superhero arena.  Plus, Jamie McPhail returns.  Remember him from the first issue?

THE LOWDOWN:  Thanks to a review copy provided by the Mark Millar division of Netflix, I have been able to read the first five issues of The Ambassadors.  This is a treat for which I have been awaiting since the announcement of the series last year.

Writer Mark Millar does penultimate issues (the second-to-last issue) of miniseries quite well, and The Ambassadors #5 promises a hell of sixth and final issue of the first arc of this franchise.  Meanwhile, Millar and artist Matteo Buffagni make sure that this fifth issue is an excellent read all on its own, and it is.  The Ambassadors #5 is a nice follow-up to the surprising fourth issue because (at least for me) it offers an old man as a superhero.  This fifth issue, with many surprises on its own, keeps the series undeniable and unmatched.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Mark Millar and of big concept superhero comic books will want to read The Ambassadors.
