That's a touch creepy, although at least Elroy & Judy don't have to worry about a week at Grandma's being less than expected...they've got a different problem now.

I think a Deadman issue would be the best place to reintroduce the Funky Phantom.

Also I think it was stupid to make Top Cat a villain. On his show he may have shifty and sly but he has always been a good guy at the end of the day.

pairing him up with catwoman was an obvious move- she has a thing for cats, much like Batman has for bats

It's nice to see DC is continuing with Hanna Barbara, they seem like the only ones at Time Warner who still care about their sister brand.

This is why DC reigns supreme in the comic market...they have a sense of legacy and have integrated various hb series with their timelines/alternate earths. I'm wondering if with SCOOB whether or not they'll start referencing the HB properties as DC Comics/Hanna-Barbera productions (it'd make more sense than HB in association with WB that they're currently using as HB's always felt more like a DC thing than a WB if WB's not really caring, come to think of it...they're not even caring about their own characters, The Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons and Animaniacs...it's all on DC Comics these days, maybe DC should be the main company rather than WB.)

Well the specials didn't do too bad in the charts (chart position, title, sales figures)
97 Green Lantern Space Ghost Special 25,149 98 Suicide Squad Banana Splits Special 24,834 126 Adam Strange Future Quest Special 18,134 147 Booster Gold Flintstones Special 15,795
I would say that what DC is doing with the HB titles is a lot better than what WB is doing with them. There again I'm going to guess that it is a lot cheaper and quicker to produce a comic that it is an animated episode hence the risk (i.e. cost) is lower.

The Cap is bad? That's just not right! At least when DC does something dumb they explain the reason behind it as oh "This did happen, but that's because someone that Wally West, Bruce Wayne, Barry Allen, Diana Prince & Clark Kent don't know about yet but are mildly aware of (or in Clark's case paranoid) did it.
