It's easy to see now why Keith asked you write his plots, I am a huge fan of your solo work going back to Captain America and The Defenders, but what you created with Keith was truly magical. It remains so special that you can find solace in knowing that generations to come will be entertained by it.

And you win...well, you don't win anything, but I'm impressed that you remembered!<br /><br />These new DC Hanna-Barbera books are older-skewing than the tradition interpretations of the characters.

And it was enjoyable, and the few ties I have caught reruns or the new shows since, they have still been at least a little enjoyable (albeit every formulaic). I just have no real reason to go back to that. Its like a lot of things in comics... it may just not be for me.<br /><br />All that having been said, I have never read a scooby comic at any time, and I have been kicking myself for not checking out those team-up books between Scooby-Doo and the DC Comics characters.<br /><br />I'll pick up a back issue or two and see if it can work in comic form for me.<br /><br />Also... wait a minute, are they preventing the apocalypse? Because I'm pretty sure that has already been done. Also Guy Gardner becoming a chick was done before you and Giffen as well. They even called her Gal Gardner.<br /><br />Jack<br /><br />PS, I am also reading Astro City, which is technically put out by DC, but it is a Vertigo book, so my point remains valid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193334913733210326.post-61598367845555141182016-02-20T18:17:28.935-05:002016-02-20T18:17:28.935-05:00As I think you know (and I can speak on behalf of ...As I think you know (and I can speak on behalf of the entire team), we are profoundly appreciative of your support.<br /><br />But maybe you can give SCOOBY APOCALYPSE a chance...?
