More comic reading: the "Future Quest" miniseries, a storyline from the mid-2010s about a crossover between the action/adventure/superhero Hanna-Barbera characters. I thought it was enjoyable, though not sure what Jonny Quest/Space Ghost fans made (since those are the two biggest HB action shows).

Comic reading lately: the "MultiVersus" tie-in comic.

Like the game, the comic's a weird mix of kid-friendly stuff (Bugs Bunny, Steven Universe) and the teen/adult audience DC normally caters to: the story's set exclusively in the DCU, Joker's his usual "self" (as Shaggy finds out), etc.

The Psycho-Pirate is a villain who has the power to induce in others whatever emotions he expresses on his face (glee, fear, panic, etc.).

And yes, he did meet Scooby-Doo.

The Gambler was a Golden Age villain who was an enemy of Green Lantern (Alan Scott), but also fought the Justice Society (as part of the Injustice Society). His gimmick was being an expert gambler who carried a few weapons (knives/a gun). Wikipedia says his grandkids are also villains.

Spent (or wasted) time making custom Jellyfin images for the media libraries. (I found a website that creates Jellyfin thumbnails.) Thought having consistent and custom images would be nicer than whatever random film is chosen by Jellyfin as a thumbnail.

The results:
