DC / Hanna-Barbera: Deathstroke/Yogi Bear #1

Overall, this is easily one of, if not the best, DC/Hanna Barber crossovers yet, and I'm disappointed it's only a one-shot. A strong story and stronger art make this comic a delightful read that will put anyone in a good mood. Read Full Review

As ridiculous as this pairing sounds, the creative team actually makes it work, and provides a funny and action packed story. Honestly, DC has put out regular titles that are less believable. Read Full Review

This book though is all about the first story. And that story is a good read indeed. Read Full Review

This comic raises a lot of questions for the DC fanbase, will Hanna Barbera characters start making their way into the actual canon, or is this a one-off comic that provides a Who Framed Roger Rabbit type look at two very different characters? Also, just why in general? That being said, this issue does provide a fascinating story that sucks you in right from the start and holds you there until your finished with a fantastic mix of nostalgia and good storytelling.

Deathstroke/Yogi Bear Special #1 serves as a good Saturday Morning Cartoon crossover that is helped by reveals at the issue's end. Read Full Review

This is a weird comic, but in the best possible way. Read Full Review

Each of these mashups remind us of why we love comics and when you blend characters from different universes, it reminds you of how much you love comics! Read Full Review

Both the story and the artwork are brilliant, both really adds to the other, creating an excellent read. There's even a short story with Secret Squirrel at the end! Read Full Review

It has some intriguing twists near the end, but I'm not sure how much mileage they can get out of these characters. Read Full Review

As I said initially is a comic that fulfills the task of being entertaining but nothing more, I just imagine how complex it is to unite two different genres as cartoons and action comics and this deserve a recognition. Read Full Review

A comic that does just enough to not be bad but has nothing to elevate it beyond mediocrity. These specials struggle to justify their five dollar price tag at the best of times and with 8 pages wasted to a terrible, borderline insulting decision by its publisher, you're probably better off spending that money elsewhere.

Yogi Bear Deathstroke is an extremely weird crossover that manages to do the impossible and blend the two unlikely characters into an extremely funny and violent adventure that will continue to resonate long after the story ends. While collecting a bounty in Jellystone Park Yogi Solicits Deathstroke's services to help him locate Boo Boo, who has gone missing. As they begin their search Yogi reveals that the animals of Jellystone have changed and have become much more violent.  Yogi and Deathstroke eventually encounter Ranger Smith as he tries to save a group of people from the animals. They all team up and manage to clear the area and continue to search for Boo Boo only to get involved in a much larger conspiracy.  "‹ The key stre ngths of this issue are that the story is smart and extremely violent. The art from Mark Texeira is detailed especially the design used for Yogi. On top of the excellent art direction, the script is smart and snappy without falling into the trap of being ironic and pretentious. Deathstroke manages to retain his personality without being dumbed down and the characters from the Classic Yogi cartoons manage to stay true to how you remember them. The result is an excellent blend that manages to entertain from beginning to end and should satisfy fans of both franchises.  These crossovers continue to impress and this issue is no exception.   For More: https://www.gtmediareviews.com/ more
