Scooby-Doo Team-Up, Volume 5 by Dave Alvarez, Sholly Fisch, Darío Brizuela, Scott Jeralds

3.0

Scooby Doo Team-Up Volume 5 collects issues #25-30 of Scooby-Doo Team-Up.

I'll just say right away that my least favorite of the team-ups in SDTU are the ones where the gang teams up with more cartoony characters like Quick Draw McGraw, or in the case of this volume, Top Cat and Hong Kong Phooey.

Now that the unpleasantness was done, this was another dose of all ages fun in these stressful times. The team ups with Green Arrow & Green Arrow, Jonah Hex, and the Challengers of the Unknown were a lot of fun. Sholly Fisch shows a lot of love for the various corners of the DC universe. You don't see the Challengers of the Unknown, The Secret Six, The Sea Devils, Cave Carson, and Rip Hunter in the same story very often.

Dario Brizuela's depiction of Jonah Hex was right up there with his depiction of The Phantom Stranger as one of my favorites of the series. As with past volumes, there are plenty of jokes and references to entertain the adults in the crowd, even though the stories are meant for a younger audience.

Scooby-Doo Team-Up volume 5 earns three out of five Scooby Snacks. Sholly Fisch shows more love to the Silver Age of the DC universe than the main line has in years.
