No, that wasn’t a typo in the title. The amiable series about the lovable Great Dane and his mystery-solving team will be going darker than it’s ever been in the new comic series Scooby Apocalypse, the closest that it’s ever come to full-on horror territory.
Coming from writers J.M. DeMatteis and Keith Giffen and artist Howard Porter, the series finds the Mystery Inc. gang facing a case that even they can’t solve: the apocalypse. This time the masks aren’t coming off, kids. The monsters are real, and they’re out for blood.
Head over to Newsarama for an interview with the creators, wherein they describe the deeper horror aspects of the series, and check out the official word about the series on publisher DC’s website ahead of its May 25 release.
Synopsis:
Those meddling kids—Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and their dog, Scooby-Doo—get more ghost -debunking than they bargained for when faced with a fundamental change in their world. The apocalypse has happened. Old rules about logic no longer apply. The creatures of the night are among us, and the crew of the Magical Mystery Machine has to fight to survive—because in the apocalyptic badlands of the near-future, the horrors are real!
