On updating the characters’ look — specifically referring to the “hipster Shaggy” — Lee said, “We knew it would be controversial…All these people saying, ‘it’s horrible, he’s a d-bag,’ and I say, ‘wait… you look like this guy!’ It’s an unusual look, but it’s to show he’s visually distinct from the others, and not part of the mainstream.”
There is also talk of a possible crossover with Hannah-Barbera titles. The creators are fans of world-building so we have a lot of different possibilities to look forward too.
“Scooby Apocalypse” #1 will be released May 25.
