2.5 starsScooby-Dooby-Doo! We've gone through a lot of different incarnations of Scooby & Shaggy over the years, and this is one of the better ones. <-- my opinion. I'm not sure how to describe what was done with them without spoiling too much of the storyline, but it fits with the original spirit of the characters. I'd like to say that I enjoyed the update given to the rest of Mystery Inc, but that would make me a big fat liar. Fred was a pathetic, groveling, hanger-on who kept trying to awkwa...
Loads of fun and a nice twist on the Scooby-Doo franchise. The art design for Daphne was somewhat unpleasant and inconsistent, but overall the comic is well done and enjoyable. Reading Volume 2 now.
I'm a Scooby Doo fan from way back and I've been enjoying DC's Hanna-Barbera line so far, for the most part. I got this as part of a trade-in at my now defunct LCS but didn't have time to read it until we went into self-isolation.Scooby Apocalypse is a reimagining of the Scooby Doo gang in a survival horror scenario. The world has been stricken by a nanotech plague that turns people into monsters. The only people not effected are Daphne Blake, a TV reporter, Fred Jones, her cameraman, Shaggy Rog...
I’m pretty sure this entire book was some wild fever dream but I think I maybe kinda loved it? One thing’s for certain, Shaggy declaring his love for High School Musical might be the most unexpected and yet most deeply respected plot twist I’ve ever read.(Also, it’s a credit to how much time I spent watching the Scooby Doo cartoon’s and movies as a kid that I heard every single line in this book in the actors voices.)
Very fun take on Scooby Doo, and it has great art as well. The only things I didn't like was the fact that Velma and Daphne have the same exact argument almost every issue (nearly word-for-word), and Daphne has wild mood swings that come out of nowhere.
I loved Scooby Doo growing up and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this modern update. The story was well written, the characters had a modern spin and the artwork was superb. They are the same gang we all loved riding along with in the Mystery Machine. And wait til you see that...
Melissa the Dog lover reviewed this and it looked fantastic and it really is a fun read. It combines the nostalgia of my childhood with an update Sci-fy horror take. It took the characters and bumped them up. Scooby has implants that allow him to sort of talk. Daphne is a beauty journalists on a raging bender. She is tough like Lois Lane. Fred is the lovesick camera man who is no longer the leader and Shaggy is mostly the same, but cooler. Velma, the logical analytical genius who might or might
Look, I wanted to try it, OK?It’s bad. But not for any of the reasons I thought it might be bad. The idea is actually quite nice. The art is lovely. I have no problem with the reimagination of the characters. I quite like the overall story in theory.But the writing? Oh my, the writing. What has happened to Keith Giffen? This is just so repetitive. I lost count of the amount of times a conversation between Velma and Daphne went ‘It wasn’t my fault’, ‘yeah, you keep telling yourself that’, or Daph...
I received this comic from DC Entertainment via NetGalley in return for an honest review.This was a bit different to what I was expecting, but still thoroughly enjoyable. This is essentially a reboot of Scooby and the rest of the gang has them as strangers to begin with. Daphne and Fred know each other as they have been working on a show together, which the reader learns very on has totally flopped. Shaggy is a dog trainer for some new and exotic canines who come across as quite gruesome and sca...
I loved it!! The end!Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I had no idea what to expect with this book, and I really didn't set my expectations very high. They were pretty low, actually. I'm not a fan of reboots, rewrites, or refreshes. My view is that most of the time, they are not necessary, and are simply a push for nostalgia. I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It is a reboot, of course, but it is well-written and well thought out. I definitely liked the back story of Scooby being...
I had low expectations that were far exceeded. Howard Porter's art is perfect for Scooby Doo. And Hi-Fi's colors are gorgeous. The dialogue is snappy and true to the characters from the various Hanna-Barbera incarnations. The story has been updated to travelling through an apocalyptian landscape instead of solving mysteries. Received an advance copy from DC and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Zoinks and also jinkies, but this is, like, some weird shiz, man! I've seen just about every episode of the original Scooby-Doo, and both of the live action movies (which are seriously underrated, might I add), so I'm honestly . . . loving this? As a nerdy girl with glasses, I'm having trouble coming to grips with what's happened to Velma here, but as a redhead, I'm loving the Daphne development! And what can I say: I was always a sucker for Shaggy, and seeing him as a muscular hipster, with his...
Scooby-Doo meets Dawn of the Dead meets The Dollhouse meets A Boy and His Dog. With a possible shout out to We3 that gave me a sad and probably a whole lot of Resident Evil. The apocalypse comes and it's partially Velma's fault. Scooby is stalwart and true; Shaggy does better than I expected; and Scrappy becomes a sociopathic super soldier. Didn't see that coming. I liked it. Wish it was a little more meta-textual and a little less standard trope-y.
Read as single issues.Highly recommended! Still on my monthly pull list. This is a solid 4 stars for a title that is better than it has any right to be.It keeps the core concept and characters, but defines the characters better and places them in a more "realistic" setting where the Zombie Apocalypse has been unleashedThe story crackles, theres good pathos, some humor that doesn't actually derail the title, and good interpersonal dynamics with the characters. This title is actually better than m...
As an old fan of the Scooby Doo gang, I was eager to try this out, but ultimately this was very disappointing. First of all, other than names and color schemes, these aren't really the characters that I love. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the execution was all wrong. The depictions of the characters are really mean spirited. They don't trust anyone and they are constantly fighting with each other. This mean-spiritedness affects the writing as well. There is a particular exchange betwee...
Pop quiz time!The graphic novel I have read that contains the most dialogue is:A) Something by noted magician and obsessive wordophile Alan MooreB) Something by Mametian dialogue addict Brian Michael BendisC) Scooby ApocalypseGive up?Yeah, it’s C, and by several degrees of magnitude. I’ve never, in my comic reading life (which, in dog years, has lasted like 7,439 years…or maybe I’m just bad at math), seen a book with this much dialogue (much of it painfully expository and repetitive), nor so man...
4.5 starsWho'd have thought a Scooby Doo revamp would be THIS good? This is Scooby Doo updated for an older audience. So in this new universe, Scooby is an upgraded cybernetic dog and a bit of a badass. He does talk, but now worries, it's still rut roh and his old school dialogue so we never forget it's Scooby. Shaggy is a dog trainer, Daphne the host of an investigative TV show, Fred her cameraman, and Velma one of the smartest scientists in the world.The trouble begins when the lab Velma works...
If you're going to rely heavily on nostalgia to sell your reboot, it's generally considered wise to ensure your new product bears at least a passing resemblance to the original.This... does not.Don't get me wrong, there are some very Scooby feels. Shaggy has remained true to himself. (And who would've thought that 70s stoner translates to 2017 hipster stoner... But here we are.) Scooby has strong feelings about pizza. Velma is still wicked smart. They all use their catch phrases at least once.Bu...
Don’t be fooled: Just because Scooby Doo and the gang are the main characters of “Scooby Apocalypse” doesn’t mean that this comic book series is for children. It is so not. I repeat: THIS IS NOT FOR CHILDREN. There is graphic violence, blood, gore, and foul language galore, so keep that in mind before letting your kid read it.That said, “Scooby Apocalypse” is the most fun I’ve had reading a comic book in a long time. It’s funny, smart, exciting, and a clever re-imagining of a childhood Saturday
