Scooby Apocalypse #26

This grimly gorgeous cover by Kaare Andrews sets the tone perfectly for DC's post-apocalyptic reimagining of the Scooby-Doo gang — Daphne, fists raised and battle-worn, stands shoulder to shoulder with a bloodied Velma clutching a weapon, while Scooby himself bares his teeth with ferocious intent, all three surrounded by a closing horde of glowing-eyed monsters. The series continues to deliver that satisfying collision of beloved cartoon nostalgia and genuinely dark survival horror, with writers Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis steering the story titled "Afterlives." As a bonus, this issue also features a Secret Squirrel backup adventure — making it a satisfying double dose of classic Hanna-Barbera characters given a fresh, edgier treatment.
