The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #11

In "Bark or Byte?", the Ghost in the Machine—a digital menace masquerading as malware—has hijacked Waynetech’s new AI platform, cutting off the entire internet, including Batman’s Batcomputer and Oracle’s systems. With the real world locked out, Batman, Fred, and Daphne go on the trail of the hacker behind the attack, while Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby dive into the virtual realm through cutting-edge VR headsets, entering cyberspace to hunt the Ghost from within. Written by Sholly Fisch and brought to life with bold, immersive art by Erich Owen—pencils, inks, and colors all by Owen—this 2023 adventure blends detective grit with digital wonder, and the cover by Owen captures the eerie allure of the virtual frontier.
