The dialog is solid and the art is good but there's not much direction to the series other than "Let's drive around." We need some subplots and a goal to the series to make it more interesting.
Originally read single issues.A solid 4 stars, and a worthy continuation of the new Scooby Apocalypse saga. Is it as mind-blowingly good as Volume 1? Not quite but it gives us some new depths and connections between our heroes that a kids tv series couldn't delve into.Still one of the best DC titles out there.
Now that the shock of the concept has worn off, this book settles into being basically more of the same. The Scoobies are still fighting against the apocalyptic monsters, as they try to get Velma to a location where she might be able to effect a cure. We get a couple near-standalone issues (the escape from the super store, a hospital, Velma runs away), although they do build together to a cliffhanger in Seattle. Character development moves forward a bit, though it doesn't run very deep, as every...
I want to love these, but I just don't. I can't put my finger on my exact problem with these volumes, but somehow they are just missing the mark. Volume 2 is much better than the first one, and the writing has improved, but they are still too repetitive and a little boring. I will say I love the look and art of these books- beefy Fred and hipster Shaggy are perfection.
This volume is pretty random. There are a few one shots sprinkled throughout that don't really move the story along, and a very random fever dream which while fun, also didn't have any relevance.These sorts of things are normally a nice little breather between plot, but this volume was lacking plot before the inclusions, so it just felt like it veered even further away from telling us anything.It's weird because Scooby Apocalypse seems to have more dialog bubbles than most other comics I've read...
In a world where dramatic one liners are the norm.Stuck in a Mall-Mart Superstore the group who has survived the world changing nanite plague are surrounded by a swarm of seemingly mindless and dangerous creatures who were probably humans once upon a time. With Fred's leg injured in a gloriously bad way survival has just become that much harder as the crew makes their way to find medicines that can stave off infections. With mutants running wild and the nanite plague seemingly altering the laws
Velma, Velma, VELMA! *shakes head slowly* You gotta fix this, girl!And you gotta love the business man that is 100% based on Trump, down to the red toupee, blond trophy wife, and name in gold letters on the outside of his high rise!
Okay, so this isn't high literature, but it's still fun to read. The issues I had with the first volume are fixed. The repetition is pretty much gone as is the bitching between Velma and Daphne. You can also see them becoming friends, which is nice. The art's gotten smoother as well. But while the issues from the first volume have been fixed, there are some whole new ones here. The writers completely skip over what could be extremely emotional moments. For example, (view spoiler)[at the end of t...
Scooby and the gang have a run-in with a hospital that might be alive and meet one of Velma's brothers.I'm disappointed in this second volume. It's so episodic that nothing happens. Maybe Velma's brother will change that but, since he seems to be just a cartoon version of Trump, I don't have faith in it. The artists have changed in this volume and I don't like the art as much. And it needs more Scooby and less dialogue (so much dialogue, much of it repetitious). I still think this is a great ide...
This is a really cool imagining of the Scooby -Dooniverse, but I'm still waiting for my childhood 'ship to come into play 😉
I read the first volume and liked enough to try volume 2. Unfortunately, not a lot happens in volume 2 and I think I'm done with this twist on some favorite characters. In this volume the reader gets; ever-changing artwork, not all of it good, Velma's embarrassing dream, where she imagines herself dressed like Red Sonja, and more on one of Velma's brothers who is a sad, moldy stereotype. Seems Giffen and DeMatteis had a good idea to start with but didn't know where to take it or when to end it.
Scooby Doo + the apocalypse? This series was clearly made for me.
What’s better than a post-apocalyptic sci-fi action thriller with genetically-modified creatures taking over the world? The answer, of course, is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi action thriller with genetically-modified creatures taking over the world starring Scooby Doo.Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, and Dale Eaglesham’s “Scooby Apocalypse, Volume 2” continues the gory good fun of the first six issues in the compilation of issues 7 - 12. It’s a thoroughly entertaining series that is absolutely not for...
I truthfully cannot believe how much I love this series it is THAT good. What a great Scooby reboot
I've seen countless interpretations of the Mystery, Inc., gang, but, this variation is unlike any other. It's fun to see the characters do something different; you can only watch so many unmaskings before it gets tired. Plus, some interesting plot twists occur, and the artwork is great.However, the violence is even more gruesome this time around, there's just as much profanity if not more than in the last volume, and some crude moments appear, such as references to flatulence and other bodily fu...
What seemed to be a decent story, is turning to crap pretty quick I think. Where do I even start? Well first the art needs to stop changing and at times it's within the middle of a scene. This whole book needs a new editor. It's really choppy at times. Also, the obvious reference to Trump isn't amusing or creative at all, it's just stupid and doesn't work. I'm not sure how this comic book is still lasting and not sure I even want the third volume anymore. For someone who's seen nearly all the in...
So far this remains strong. The story goes a little dark at times considering this is Scooby Doo, but I suppose that's the point is this is one of those "this isn't your parent's Scooby Doo" situations. I love Scooby'd dialogue as I don't recall us seeing a serious Scooby on the cartoons often, if ever. Scrappy Doo I'm still undecided about, but we'll see how things turn out with him.The whole idea of seeing the Scooby gang in a post apocalyptic tale take some getting used to, and we still don't...
3.5/5 Some decent enough character moments but honestly not enough happened in this book. The story was advanced ever so slowly and it felt like the creators weren't sure where to take a very original idea after the initial conception. I'm curious as to where the story goes from here but after the last issue of volume 1 I was hoping for some outright amazing development both character and plot. I didn't really get either. As I said, not a great deal happened and at least one member of the group
Worrying signs of the novelty starting to wear off though...
Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? We need some help from you now...In this case, he's running headfirst into the fight to save his friends from rampaging monsters. The series continues, and continues to improve. Here, we see a continuation of the one-off Scrappy-Doo stories... Scrappy and his gang are tearing their way through a world full of monsters in hopes of tracking down Velma, to upgrade their cybernetic implants, and Scooby - for revenge. Why revenge? Scooby was the first cybernetically e...
