The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #11

Taking place entirely in the Gotham City Public Library, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #11 features both Mystery, Inc. and Commissioner Gordon stopping by on his daughter Barbara‘s first day at the library. The first day turns out to be an eventful one when Grotesque and some of henchmen dressed up as ghosts arrive. The ghosts, in simple sheets, are pretty low-tech for for a Scooby story and the structure of the tale doesn’t leave room for some of the basic Scooby-Doo beats.

G’nort’s Swimsuit Edition

Despite the title, G’nort’s Swimsuit Edition is not a collection of G’nort in swimwear (although the Green Lantern from the planet G’newt is the centerfold for the issue). The one-shot is made up of mostly art from various artists giving us a wide assortment of DC heroes and villains in beach and swimsuit poses. Attempting to add a bit more substances, two short stories are thrown in as well.
