Scooby Apocalypse, Vol. 2

Scooby Apocalypse, Vol. 2 by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis 160 pages

DC Comics reimagines Scooby-Doo as post-apocalyptic sci-fi. Daphne is a discredited investigative journalist, Fred is her dedicated cameraman, Scooby is a prototype “smart-dog” experiment, Shaggy is his handler, and Velma is a genius scientist whose nanobots turned most of the world’s population into bloodthirsty monsters.I thought the first volume was rough but had some potential; I’m not going to bother reading the third volume. Chapter after chapter is devoted to killing slightly different monsters in slightly different locations, while important plot developments happen offscreen.
Plot holes abound. Twenty pages are revealed as All Just A Fever Dream. Don’t waste my time with this, DC.
