Shit, Dan Didio said himself that DC is aimed at 40-year-olds.

I can't handle Shaggy. He's too preened and pretty. No goofy stoner is going to spend that much effort on his looks. And I can't imagine Shaggy not being afraid of needles.
Fred should look like that, it's the modern equivalent of what Fred represents imo. Beard and hair = ascot.

Right, right, I know what Wizard magazine is (was), but I'm specifically the mentioning the spread ass cheeks part of your post.

What part of that looks realistic?
Really, I'd like to know.
It's probably going to be crap, because Jim Lee is writing it, but still.
She looks like Fairchild and Fairchild was regularly a subject of pictorials in and on wizard.

There's something temporally fucked up about someone so stuck in the 90s writing for an IP so stuck in the 70s. Are we sure that this isn't a sign that time is compressing in on itself and that the end of existence is not too far off?

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
The proportions and level of detail especially is way more realistic than what you'd expect from scooby doo. I understand it's a comic At most i'd expect something like the Batgirl comic when I think of Scooby Doo in comic form.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Apparently this isn't what DC was teasing with "rebirth."

Good to see a confirmation.
Disappointed this is probably what Parker/Shaner were teasing, was sure it was Shazam. Adventure Quest still looks amazing though.

It's written by Ken Pontiac who's co-written the last five or so Sonic games. Be mortified.

Good to hear then. I'm digging Future Quest though but the other stuff not so much.

give about 2 or 3 years and WB will produce a DTV animated movie of this version of Scooby Doo

Someone forgot to tell someone at DC that Hippies and Hipsters aren't the same fucking thing.
I was working (in my mind) on a dark, gritty reboot of Scooby Doo where Fred was a homeless vet that has just come back from a long tour in the Middle East after being kicked out of the marines. Fred, being homeless and suffering from paranoid delusions after his dishonorable discharge, falls in with Shaggy, his only confidant who also happens to be a drug dealer that lives in a van with his dog, and they roam southwestern part of the US looking for legitimate work. Shaggy also believes he can talk to his dog, Scooby, but he's the only one that can hear him. They meet an ex-prostitute named Daphne who is on the run from her former employers during their adventures and she decides to travel with them. And Velma's there something something...

The Scooby Doo one is all kinds of confusing. The gang seem to have been Shadowrun-ed, with Fred and Daphne becoming street samurai, Shaggy being a shaman, Scooby a spiritseer and Velma a rigger. The big question is, however, why does it seem like they are fighting against the Tzimisce Cathedral of Flesh from Vampire: The Masquerade? It's from a completely different universe.

I don't think I can take Space Ghost seriously if he's a legit hero. He's still an Adult Swim character in my eyes.
Well it has Shaggy as a hipster with a sleeve and Scooby shooting out emojis so there's your Batgirl comparison. I'm sure there will also be social media gags.

Lmao that shaggy is garbage. Pretty modern update though but still that's disgusting
Space ghost and future quest look great

Hrm.... I'd watch that if it was on HBO. Also, it should be done by the guys who did The Wire.
Same for Harvey Birdman lol.

It's hard to get excited by this mostly because Adult Swim has pillaged all of this IP and I can't take it seriously anymore. Seriously, Brak is not a villain that's going to be met with anything but laughter. Space Ghost is going to have that voice no matter how serious he's trying to be. Birdman's still a lawyer. Johnny Quest is still on his way to his first overdose before moving into Jonas Venture's bomb shelter.

I wish they'd do a funny comic starring Space Ghost.

What's shaggy going to do if there's no artisanal bread at the mystery house they are investigating?
Peter Milligan and Mike Allred could work wonders.

Shaggy traded in his Scooby snacks for craft beer.

Considering Scooby Doo gets multiple DTVs a year it probably won't be that long.

One thing to note is that, thoroughly unlike the Scooby-Doo and Wacky Races books, the characters haven't actually been redesigned at all. That's literally just Amanda Conner drawing the Flintstones.
