Scooby Apocalypse #7

The whole Mystery Inc. gang charges into battle on Howard Porter's cover for this January 2017 entry in DC's action-reimagined series — Fred brandishing a weapon, a bearded and armored Shaggy swinging a hatchet, Daphne firing a glowing device, Velma crouching with a tech controller, and a snarling Scooby-Doo lunging forward, all surrounded by dark, clawed threats closing in from every side. It's a vivid snapshot of just how far this grittier, post-apocalyptic take on the classic characters has come, with the gang looking battered but utterly defiant. Writers Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis, artist Howard Porter, and colorist Hi-Fi deliver a series that keeps finding fresh, energetic ways to push these beloved characters to their limits.
