About the series
In 2016, DC Comics reimagined the classic Mystery Inc. gang for a modern, high-stakes horror-sci-fi saga in Scooby Apocalypse. Written primarily by J. M. DeMatteis and Keith Giffen, with Jim Lee co-writing early issues, the series strands Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, and Fred in a world overrun by monstrous creatures unleashed by a failed experiment. Illustrated by Ron Wagner, Pat Olliffe, and Howard Porter, this 36-issue run strips away the cartoon trappings to explore survival, conspiracy, and the bonds of friendship under siege. It matters as a bold, creator-driven recontextualization of a beloved franchise, proving that even the most familiar characters can thrive in a gritty, apocalyptic landscape.
