Review: SCOOBY-DOO, Where Are You? #94
SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE ARE YOU? No. 94
DC COMICS – @DCComics
STORY: Sholly Fisch; Darryl Taylor Kravitz; Terrance Griep
PENCILS: Randy Elliot; Karen Matchete; Scott Neely
INKS: Randy Elliot; Karen Matchete; Scott Neely
COLORS: Pamela Lovas; Heroic Age
LETTERS: Saida Temofonte; Randy Gentile; Swands
EDITOR: Harvey Richards
COVER: Randy Elliot with Pamela Lovas
32pp, Color, $2.99 U.S. (October 2018)
Rated “E” for “Everyone”
Let's continue our journey through the renewal of my subscription to the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? comic book series. I recently received the ninth issue of that renewed subscription.
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #94 opens with “Not Just Yeti” (written by Sholly Fisch and drawn by Randy Elliot). Mystery Inc.: Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma have been called by the owner of “Benjy Kord's Rockin' Gym,” a climbing gym, to solve the mystery of a abominable snowman or “yeti” that his been plaguing his place of business.
No true yeti would hang around a place with faux rock-climbing walls, so who is the real culprit? It is Hy Pique, owner of a rival climbing gym; Vertigo, a young lady who is one of Benjy's former customers; or is it Benjy's former employee, Tom Buldown?
This issue has two reprint stories. The first is “The Freeloading Ghost” (written by Daryl Taylor Kravitz and drawn by Karen Matchete). [It was originally published in Scooby-Doo #127 (February 2008).] As the story opens, Mystery Inc. has just solved “The Mystery of the Crystal Key Ghosts,” and part of the process of solving the case meant that those “annoying kids” and their dog had to exorcise the ghosts haunting the creepy mansion that was the epicenter of the mystery. Well, one of those ghosts is still around, and he wants a new home...
The second reprint story is “At Least That Beast” (written by Terrance Griep and drawn by Scott Neely). [It was originally published in Scooby-Doo #145 (cover dated: August 2009).] The Mystery Inc. kids are in the Congo to help a friend, John Arkizi. It seems that the “Mokele-Mbembe,” the legendary dinosaur that lives in the swamps around nearby Lake Tele, is causing a ruckus. The mastermind behind the dinosaur's behavior seems to be a witch doctor, Kwaheri, who is using the “Mokele-Mbembe” to vex a local mining operation. But who is the real mastermind, and what is his true motivation?
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #94 is a really fun read. It is probably the best issue of this current subscription run, and the reason is the two reprint stories. The new story, “Not Just Yeti,” is a shamelessly weak piece of work on the part of the storytellers. The reprint stories are quite good, especially “The Freeloading Ghost,” a story that has the potential to launch a new Scooby-Doo series or animated film. I hope to get more Scooby-Doo comic books like issue #94.

Review: THE DIVIDED STATES OF HYSTERIA #2
THE DIVIDED STATES OF HYSTERIA No. 2
IMAGE COMICS – @ImageComics
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
WRITER/ARTIST: Howard Chaykin
COLORS: Jesus Aburtov
LETTERS: Ken Bruzenak
COVER: Howard Chaykin with Wil Quintana
28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (July 2017)
Rated “M / Mature”
The Divided States of Hysteria is the controversial new comic book series from renowned comic book creator, Howard Chaykin (American Flagg!, Midnight of the Soul). Chaykin's collaborators include colorist Jesus Aburtov and Chaykin's longtime letterer, Ken Bruzenak. Published by Image Comics, The Divided States of Hysteria is set in an America that is steadily being destabilized after the assassination of a sitting President and a worst-case terrorist attack that follows.
The Divided States of Hysteria #2 opens after seven pregnant women launched a terrorist attack using nuclear devices and a biological weapon that left much of New York City in ruins. Ambitious, ladder-climbing, CIA field officer, Frank Villa, is being blamed for the attack because he was supposed to prevent just such a thing from happening. New President of the United States, Michelle Taylor, fires Villa and contemplates having the Navy SEALs kill him. Even worse, Villa's wife, two children, and mistress are all dead because of the attack.
Now, Chandler Vandergylt, CEO of private prison corporation, River Run, Inc., is giving Villa a chance to help President Taylor help the country. And four mass killers: Henry John Noone, Christopher Michael Silver, Paul Evan Berg, and Cesare John Nacamulli, are going to help Villa help the President pull the country back together!
In his afterword to the second issue, Howard Chaykin says (basically) that if you don't like what he is doing in his new comic book, The Divided States of Hysteria, don't buy “the fucking book.” Ah, if only it were that easy. People are drawn to controversy, and this comic book is controversial. Just recently, Chaykin and Image Comics had to withdraw the cover art for the as-yet-unpublished fourth issue of this series after releasing an image of it as preview material for North American comic book distributor, Diamond Distributors.
See... this is not the 1980s when fannish comic book reviewers like Don and Maggie Thompson and R.A. Jones ran interference for Chaykin when people criticized Chaykin's legendary 1980s comic book, American Flagg! for, among other things, violence, racism, and objectifying women. [I think R.A. Jones even said he wished someone would objectify him.] Now, we have what we did not have in the 1980s, social media. Social media can amplify the voices of critics to the point that even the baddest, do-what-the-fuck-I-want comic book creator has to back down more than he ever thought he would. The Divided States of Hysteria is not going to get the honeymoon American Flagg! got.
All that aside, The Divided States of Hysteria is a surprisingly, really good comic book. It has a plausible, near-future, semi-dystopian scenario, and the second issue is a little more clear on who the players are, what's going on, and what might happen going forward.
I do think that Chaykin and (judging by this issue's letters' page) some of his readers are a bit naive about the divided state of America. America is a place divided by race, class, ethnicity, religion, etc. in its foundation. The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution may say a lot of things, but at the end of the day, a lot of people don't believe that people whom they don't like are equal to them, nor should they be treated that way. There may have been times when the majority of White people in America were united. There may indeed have been times when a few Black people joined them, but the truth is that certain people were not allowed by the majority to join in on this unity.
The continuation of the bondage of African slaves and their descendants; the displacement of native tribes and the theft of their lands; and the limit of the franchise all basically established divisions in this country from its beginning. Billy Joel is right: we didn't start the fire. The divided states of hysteria is not an accident. It was a deliberately laid foundation. Rewriting history and pretending that there was a time when ALL of us were united as a county is not a reality; it is a part of an agenda.
I am not really interested in the points behind The Divided States of Hysteria... for now. I choose to enjoy it as near-future science fiction comic book with potential, rather than as a declaration of how we should be.

In his afterword to the second issue, Howard Chaykin says (basically) that if you don't like what he is doing in his new comic book, The Divided States of Hysteria, don't buy “the fucking book.” Ah, if only it were that easy. People are drawn to controversy, and this comic book is controversial. Just recently, Chaykin and Image Comics had to withdraw the cover art for the as-yet-unpublished fourth issue of this series after releasing an image of it as preview material for North American comic book distributor, Diamond Distributors.
See... this is not the 1980s when fannish comic book reviewers like Don and Maggie Thompson and R.A. Jones ran interference for Chaykin when people criticized Chaykin's legendary 1980s comic book, American Flagg! for, among other things, violence, racism, and objectifying women. [I think R.A. Jones even said he wished someone would objectify him.] Now, we have what we did not have in the 1980s, social media. Social media can amplify the voices of critics to the point that even the baddest, do-what-the-fuck-I-want comic book creator has to back down more than he ever thought he would. The Divided States of Hysteria is not going to get the honeymoon American Flagg! got.
All that aside, The Divided States of Hysteria is a surprisingly, really good comic book. It has a plausible, near-future, semi-dystopian scenario, and the second issue is a little more clear on who the players are, what's going on, and what might happen going forward.
I do think that Chaykin and (judging by this issue's letters' page) some of his readers are a bit naive about the divided state of America. America is a place divided by race, class, ethnicity, religion, etc. in its foundation. The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution may say a lot of things, but at the end of the day, a lot of people don't believe that people whom they don't like are equal to them, nor should they be treated that way. There may have been times when the majority of White people in America were united. There may indeed have been times when a few Black people joined them, but the truth is that certain people were not allowed by the majority to join in on this unity.
The continuation of the bondage of African slaves and their descendants; the displacement of native tribes and the theft of their lands; and the limit of the franchise all basically established divisions in this country from its beginning. Billy Joel is right: we didn't start the fire. The divided states of hysteria is not an accident. It was a deliberately laid foundation. Rewriting history and pretending that there was a time when ALL of us were united as a county is not a reality; it is a part of an agenda.
I am not really interested in the points behind The Divided States of Hysteria... for now. I choose to enjoy it as near-future science fiction comic book with potential, rather than as a declaration of how we should be.

Review: THE KAMANDI CHALLENGE #4
THE KAMANDI CHALLENGE No. 4 (OF 12)
DC COMICS – @DCComics
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
STORY: James Tynion IV
ART: Carlos D'Anda
COLORS: Gabe Eltaeb
LETTERS: Clem Robins
COVER: Paul Pope with Lovern Kindzierski
VARIANT COVER: Carlos D'Anda
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (June 2017)
Rated “T” for Teen
Kamandi created by Jack Kirby
“The Wild Wondrous West”
Created by Jack Kirby, Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth was a comic book series published by DC Comics in the 1970s. Running from 1972 to 1978, the series starred Kamandi, a teenaged boy in a post-apocalyptic future. In this time, humans have been reduced back to savagery in a world ruled by intelligent, highly evolved animals.
Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth #1 (cover dated: October 1972) opens some time after a huge event called “The Great Disaster,” which wiped out human civilization. In “Earth A.D.” (After Disaster), many animals have become humanoid, bipedal, and sentient, and also possess the power of speech. These newly intelligent animal species have equipped themselves with weapons and technology salvaged from the ruins of human civilization and are constantly at war in a struggle for territory.
The world of Kamandi returns in the DC Comics miniseries, The Kamandi Challenge, bringing together 14 teams of writers and artists. Each issue will end with an cliffhanger. The next creative team will resolve that cliffhanger left behind by the previous creative team, before creating their own story and cliffhanger, which the next creative team after them will have to resolve... and so on. The fourth issue of The Kamandi Challenge is written by James Tynion IV; drawn by Carlos D'Anda; colored by Gabe Eltaeb; and lettered by Clem Robins.
The Kamandi Challenge #4 (“The Wild Wonderous West”) finds Kamandi and his friend Vila in the clutches of the Jaguar Sun Cult. The cult members are feeding the pair to the cult's god, “The Great Jaguar,” which is several stories tall. If they escape this fire, waiting for them is the Kanga Rat Murder Society in the mad, mad, mad Outback.
“The Wild Wondrous West” follows the cliffhanger that ended issue #3's “Bug in Your Ear.” The Kamandi Challenge #3 packed more punch than the second issue. However, The Kamandi Challenge #4 lacks the freewheeling fun of the third issue. After reading the second issue, I suspected that this series could end up being hit and miss, simply because each new issue presented a new creative team, itself presented with the challenge of picking up some other team's story.
I am generally a fan of comic book writer James Tynion IV, especially his work on Batman titles, but I find “The Wild Wondrous West” to be little more than rehashed ideas from the original Planet of the Apes films series. Artist Carlos D'Anda's work here is more style than storytelling, and Gabe Eltaeb's garish coloring is static in the line of communication between the reader and the story. I will admit that I do like the last few pages of this story, because this is where the creative team seems to start to sparkle, so I look forward to where this cliffhanger ends up.
Its is not easy for The Kamandi Challenge creative teams in this series to come close to Jack Kirby's original vision of this concept. The Kamandi Challenge #4 exemplifies that.
