Teen Titans--Ghost is the single story of Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #4, by DC Comics.
Premise
When the Teen Titans have a ghost problem at their headquarters, Robin calls on the experts: Mystery Inc.
Synopsis
The Teen Titans were being haunted, and, tired of the situation, Robin called in Mystery Inc. for help. The gang meets Starfire , Raven , Cyborg , and Beast Boy , and remark on how different Robin is when he is not with Batman . When Robin pulls up security footage of the ghost attacks, Cyborg shoots the screen with his arm-canon. Cyborg and Beast Boy then leave the room before the ghosts mysteriously appear. They all run from the monsters, before crashing into each other. Mystery Inc then reveal that Beast Boy's shape shifting and Cyborg's holograms were behind the haunting. The two titans were playing a prank that just got out of hand! Then, Raven's uncle Myron the Mildly Irritating appeared, claiming to have no evil scheme on Earth. He was just visiting his niece. Myron annoys them enough that they tried to make him leave the tower.
After Scooby-Doo and Shaggy knock him over, the gang discovers the truth. Myron was a real estate developer from the Netherworld trying to annoy everyone into leaving the Earth so that demons could move in. Myron then leaves, claiming that the humans were too annoying to get to leave, and that he should try his luck in the fifth dimension .

Cultural references
- As the issue is based on the Teen Titans Go! TV series aired on Cartoon Network, Daphne breaks the fourth wall a little, by commenting on how Robin looks different and doesn't sound like Shaggy anymore (Casey Kasem was the voice of both Shaggy and Robin in The New Scooby-Doo Movies), with Starfire responding that she thinks he sounds like Green Arrow's sidekick, Speedy (Scott Menville voices both Robin and Speedy in the former).
Coloring mistakes
- None known.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
- This is a crossover on a purely superficial level, as the art and characterizations are just being mimicked (presumably done as a "tie-in" to get more readers). Robin's difference in personality is justified by explaining that he acts more mature around Batman, where as with the Titans, he's with people of his own age that give him little respect and no self control.
- However, this is muddled a bit by the fact that an episode of Teen Titans Go! did have its own crossover with Scooby-Doo.
- The referencing of how different Robin sounds from Shaggy is kind of lost, as Menville did voice Shaggy in the TV series Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!
- Trigon being ruler of the netherworld conflicts with the Goblin King ruling of the spirit world in the direct-to-video Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King. How different can they really be?
