Some thoughts about Scooby Apocalypse #4

The apocalypse is getting more and more dangerous.

The gang is trying to know each other but their problems are far from over. However, they might get more help than they expected.

Going to be honest here, the plot barely progressed but I think it compensated with a pretty strong character work.

Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis bring a new chapter mostly dedicated to know more about the cast and how they relate to each other. All of this is thanks to the humorous and natural dialogue that makes us explore more about their personalities and backstories without feeling like overexposition. The histories between these people are clearly detailed and manage to make you more invested in their sake.

The thing is that, despite that it seems like this series has a lot of content due to the multiple conversations, the story is moving really slowly to the point that it makes you wonder when something big is going to happen considering this is the end of the world. There's some decent worldbuilding here and there though with what I believe is Scrappy Doo and other classic Hanna Barbera dogs being included into the title.

Howard Porter remains in art duties and his work is still stellar with a great sense of complexity in the environments while the delivering really expressive characters for the conversation segments.

Not bad but not great in terms of pacing. Hope to see more of the proper story next.
