The December 2018 solicits just came out, and there's no sign up of Team Up #45 despite that it's a monthly comic. Any insight into what happened? Is it going back to bimonthly like Where Are You just did?

Is it going back to bimonthly like Where Are You just did? It could be an omission in the solicitations, something will be said about it at some point. Well just had a look on Bleeding Cool as they print the pages of the solicitation publication and there is no mention there so it looks like it is missing from December.

Maybe they realized that crossover are getting stale lol! Though in all seriousness, it quite strange that were not getting a new issue. Didn't someting like this happened to the Where are You issues earlier this year?

Weird, though it probably caused by declining sales or writers showing a lack of interest for this comic.

Less and less because they are just recycling stock art and plots (to an extent) for new issues now for the past year or so. I haven't personally kept up with them, but I've heard the quality is pretty awful on both Team Up and especially Where Are You. Team Up is slightly more popular, from what I've gathered, but the most popular is definitely Scooby Apocalypse.

I would definitely assume that Apocalypse is the more popular of the 3 because of it's dark portrayal and having a storyline. With Where are You and Team-up starting to decline I would just finish up Where are You and then with Team-up just hope the writer get better. In Where are You place you can create a new series with Shaggy, Scrappy, and Scooby Doo and show their adventures after Reluctant Werewolf. This would change the formula up and get people interested again.

This would change the formula up and get people interested again. The fundamental problems with Team-Up and Where Are You is that they are lackluster at best. The art, especially for the gang is cut and paste poses. The quality of the story and art now being surpassed by the B story taken from the previous run. Just reprint the previous run, I'd buy that They had some good ideas, over arching story lines, issues which focused on different members of the gang. They could even pick up where the old series ended. Apocalypse will come to an end at some point. The readership is slowly declining after all. But unless they pull the plug well soon be getting the solicits for the 3rd anniversary. Apocalypse has shown there is an appetite for a more grown-up, grittier Scooby out there.

I'm sort of wondering now if they're going to try to take Where Are You and Team Up to their 100th and 50th issues, respectively, before pulling them entirely. It's sad to say, but I wouldn't be overly disappointed if they were completely pulled in favor of a new better written/drawn series.

It's sad to say, but I wouldn't be overly disappointed if they were completely pulled in favor of a new better written/drawn series. Honestly, I much would prefer if they would just end those series as soon as possible. The creators have seem to have run out of ideas to keep each issue fresh and they have gotten lazy with the art, so I would just pull the plug. Problem with Where are You and Team-up to a certain extent is it become hard to think of original mystery without it seeming identical to something they've done in a previous issue. People are probably tied of the regular mystery. I would stop making these for a while and have a new series with a twist that makes it unique and when done with that most people will be asking for a comic like the original show.

No Team Up announced again in February's solicits. Quite odd.
