Scooby-Doo Team-Up #30


A series of monster sightings have been popping up around the world as of late. On the scene is Mystery Inc and the Challengers of the Unknown, and Cave Carson, and the Sea Devils, and Rip Hunter, Time Master! The list goes on!!! Even after nearly 50 years the secret identity of the Secret Six's mysterious leader Mockingbird is finally revealed!

Featuring just about every great DC Comics adventure team from the 50s and 60s, this issue has it all! 

The only thing about this issue I hated was that it ended. It was such a nostalgic thrill ride of the Silver Age of (DC) Comics! I was reminded of all those cool comics of my dad's I used to read when I was little. I enjoyed this reunion so much that I wanted to be able to keep turning pages and continue to run into old friends.

Scooby-Doo Team-Up is at it's best when they focus on the characters of the DC Universe. This issue is no exception to that level of quality (and quantity of guests)! A fun read for youngsters... a trip down memory lane for established long-time fans!

Worth Consuming!

Time Masters: Vanishing Point


If you read Bruce Wayne: The Road Home, you'll see Booster Gold, Superman, Green Lantern, and the lesser known Rip Hunter, Time Master following the Caped Crusader as he is displaced through time. You might think that’s the extent of their journey, but you’d be very wrong.
Time Masters: Vanishing Point is the other side of the story. Along with trying to find Batman, this volume gives us Rip Hunter’s origin, plus Booster Gold’s ancestor in guise as Supernova must prevent several time distorted villains from claiming mastery over time itself.
The Road Home isn't the only storyline that will make you want to read this story. Many of the events of this miniseries lead directly into Flashpoint and Issues 40-45 of Booster Gold. I had actually read this story a while back but I've been sitting on this review until it came time to read Flashpoint. Since I am almost done with Flashpoint, this seemed as good a time as any to post it.
A fantastic story that’s a little confusing, but mostly because of the twists and turns and rules of time travel. Thankfully, just about every plot loop is completed by journeys end and it makes for an enjoyable read.
Worth Consuming.
