Comic Review: The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries, Vol. 2
Sometimes, you just need some little comedy relief. It wasn't too long ago that I completed Volume 1 of the Batman/Scooby-Doo crossover. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, so I decided I would take the risk on the next title.

Review
It's slightly different from the first volume as we see the gang teaming up with more random characters like The Question, The Creeper, and of course, the Batman family. We also have classic DC villains like The Joker, The Riddle, etc.
This is a rather fun title once again. It kept the kids and me entertained for the afternoon, and it read very much like a Saturday morning cartoon. But don't be deceived; they have a few (easy to spot) nods to so classic lore; I am sure I missed things that true fans would pick up.
As mentioned, I enjoyed reading it, but it wasn't as good as the first volume. But whilst reading this, you can tell the team are true fans of the franchise, and the love for the stories does come through.
