“Clearing the Troll Posts”
Welcome, dear readers, to my continuing journey through the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? comic book series, which began publication in 2010. I renewed my subscription (for a second time), and this is the seventh issue of my third subscription run that I have received.
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #105 opens with “Clearing the Troll Posts,” which is written by Sholly Fisch and drawn by Walter Carzon and Horacio Ottolini. Mystery Inc.: Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma discover that Daphne's favorite “vlogger” (video blogger), “Screengirl,” is in trouble. It seems that she is being trolled by the monstrous “Internet Troll” who is trashing Screengirl's tech. Can Mystery Inc. unravel the mystery of the Internet Troll, or is there more to this i-haunting than some trolling?
The second story, “Scare Wear,” is, as usual, a reprint and is written by Barney Topper and drawn by Dan DeCarlo and Dan Davis. [This story was originally published in Scooby-Doo #51 (cover date: October 2001).] Mystery Inc. is excited about seeing pop star, Ashley Stunn, who is also a fashion icon. Ashley's outfits, designed by Tim Goodfiger, are a sensation... but those outfits are also haunted! And the spooks are threatening Ashley's well-being. Can Mystery Inc. unravel the threads of this designer mystery?
“Clearing the Troll Posts,” the new story in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #105, does not amount to much, and it is hardly worth talking about. However, the reprint story, “Scare Wear,” is of interest because its pencil art was produced by the late Dan DeCarlo (1919-2001), the great Archie Comics artist who developed Archie Comics' house style, the visual and graphic style that would shape the art of Archie Comics for over 40 years.
DeCarlo and is one of the creators of such popular Archie Comics' franchises as Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Josie and the Pussycats, and Cheryl Blossom. It was because of his lawsuit against Archie Comics over the rights to Josie and the Pussycats that got DeCarlo banished from the publisher. Before he died, DeCarlo drew comics for other publishers, including two Scooby-Doo comics stories, one of which is “Scare Wear.”
I recommend Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #105 to fans of Scooby-Doo comic books, and, this time, especially to fans of the late, great Dan DeCarlo. So, until next time, Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

#IReadsYou Review: BLACK CLOVER Volume 17
BLACK CLOVER, VOL. 17
VIZ MEDIA – @VIZMedia
MANGAKA: Yuki Tabata
TRANSLATION: Taylor Engel, HC Language Solutions, Inc.
LETTERS: Annaliese Christman
EDITOR: Alexis Kirsch
ISBN: 978-1-9747-0616-7; paperback (September 2019); Rated “T” for “Teen”
192pp, B&W, $9.99 U.S., $12.99 CAN, £6.99 UK
Black Clover is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yuki Tabata. It has been serialized in the manga magazine, Weekly Shonen Jump, since February 2015. VIZ Media has been publishing an English-language edition of the manga as a paperback graphic novel series under its “Shonen Jump” imprint since 2016.
Black Clover focuses on a hopeful boy named Asta. He and his friend, Yuno, are found abandoned in the village of Hage of the Clover Kingdom. Both Asta and Yuno dream of one day being the “Wizard King,” the greatest mage in the land. Asta has one big problem; he can't use magic. When he is 15-years-old, Asta receives the rare “five-leaf-clover grimoire” (a book of magic), which gives him the power of anti-magic. Can Asta become the Wizard King without being able to use magic? Is he worthy of being in the “Magic Knights” squad, “the Black Bulls?”
As Black Clover, Vol. 17 (Chapters 151 to 160; entitled “Fall, Or Save the Kingdom”) opens, disaster has struck the Magic Knights. The souls of elves who claim to have been killed by humans have taken over the bodies of members of the Magic Knights. Now, these elves are going to use their new bodies and enhanced powers to kill humans. Asta and the Magic Knights are in trouble, but that doesn't mean that Asta is going to give up? But which side is Yuno on?
[This volume includes bonus material: “The Blank Page Brigade;” an “Afterword;” and sketches.]
THE LOWDOWN: The Black Clover manga is one of the best shonen battle manga available to English-speaking audiences. I have read seven volumes so far this year, and every time I read one it is like rediscovering how amazing this series is.
Black Clover Graphic Novel Volume 17 moves deeper into this shocking elves-possession story line. It just came out of nowhere, and truthfully, it could have turned out to be a disaster. Elvish ghosts; elvish genocide; possession; revenge: yeah, that could have been a disaster. Instead, Vol. 17 is the latest volume in a really fun to read graphic novel series. I practically tore through this volume.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of the top Weekly Shonen Jump manga will definitely want to try the “Shonen Jump” series, Black Clover.
