What Were They Thinking: Monster Mash-Up Reviews
Silver Bullet Comic Books says:
Monster Mash-Up puts new, "funny" dialogue in old monster and sci-fi comics. And like the previous What Were They Thinking issues, most of the jokes fall flat. [...] A jungle story where men argue about hats goes on for too long. I don't think the writer went far enough with the ridiculous premise of a jealous man trying to define himself through bad clothes. The alien Bigfoot story goes off the rails when the narrator starts commenting on the "real" story. They should have stuck with a straight-up comedy story. [...] Monster Mash-Up has a few good chuckles, but not enough to justify the $4 price tag. I said it in my last review of What Were They Thinking?!, and I'll say it again: be sillier.
Silver Bullet Comics says:
Here, in the hands of creative geniuses, the strips are radically and mercilessly "butchered", mocked and "armed" with new, insanely hilarious dialogues that would knock a cat off the wall, creating entirely new stories for a new generation to enjoy. Fans of the classic versions may however feel repulsed by this outrageous take at b-comics. [...] Simply put, the What Were They Thinking: Monster Mash-Up Edition is probably one of Boom! Studios's most solid releases to be released this year. As Ron Weasley would have said, it's so "bloody wicked," it'll make you laugh so hard you can't even try to figure out what this issue fails to accomplish. The writers have done a great job in preserving these artistic archives while giving them a makeover to reach new heights and most importantly, allow them to see the light of day once again.
