Graphic novel cover: “Scooby Apocalypse, Vol. 1” by Keith Giffen & J.M. DeMatteis; ill. Howard Porter (DC Comics, 2017)

A conceptually appealing reboot, soon rendered tiresome by an overload of slick, cluttered, gory action panels and the writers’ insistence on vomiting up Daphne and Velma’s argument every few pages. Ultimately, subjecting the Scooby Gang to zombified mature content merely diminishes them.

Bertin_Forbes_Case Missing Men

A Scooby-Doo style mystery investigation where the danger is real and grotesque horror elements stand in place of the humour. This graphic novel has some nice impressionist touches but the storyline is more about the journey than the destination. Engaging but unsatisfying.
