Think more wickery.) The backup story in this issue is a short Scrappy-Doo tale, explaining his whereabouts and how he’s dealing with having young Cliffy in tow, which also has the effect of showing Scrappy’s imbalanced nature. Shaggy and Fred continue their head-butting in their brief interactions, and Rufus’ final fate is blood-curdling and reminiscent of one of Edward Woodward’s iconic roles. Rufus Dinkley have the beginnings of a romantic attraction going on, and it’s all fascinating. This issue is all about relationships: Velma’s friendship with an increasingly angry and hardened Daphne Rufus’ abusive relationship with his wife even Shaggy and Mrs. As the monsters arrived in his penthouse, Rufus finds the flaw in his plan to take over the world… WE TRUE FANS CALL IT ‘SCOOB-ACALYPSE’ Inside, Rufus finds himself betrayed first by his sister (with a devastating groin attack) and then by his wife, who helps the Scooby Gang to escape through a hidden tunnel. Outside the Dinkley Tower, Fred has been trapped inside the Mystery Machine (reimagined as an armored personnel vehicle rather than a flower-laden hippie van) and he reports to Shaggy that the monsters are converging on the tower. Velma is horrified, even more so when he offers to let her rule by his side. He’s a blowhard who treats his lost sibling like dirt, threatening and snarling through his plan as Shaggy and company are forced to watch: He wants to become the ruler of the monsters, and believes that his “superior genetics” give him that right. Maybe it’s just the political climate of the day, but I can’t help but see certain parallels in the wild-eyes, narcissistic, toupee-wearing fatcat that is Rufus and someone who has been in the news incessantly since last November. Trapped in the Mystery Machine, Fred hopes that the others are still alive, unaware that they’ve made their way to the penthouse home of Rufus Dinkley, millionaire and also Velma’s estranged brother… FAMILY REUNION
Now, the Scooby Gang takes on a whole new role in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, trying to set right what Velma’s experiments unwittingly caused. Previously in Scooby Apocalypse: An experiment gone wrong has unleashed a nanite-based virus that transforms humans into monsters. But she’s nothing compared to the rest of her family tree… Your Major Spoilers review of Scooby Apocalypse #13 awaits!Īrtist: Dale Eaglesham/Tom Derenick/Jan Duursema Velma Dinkley is many things: Friend, scientist, enabler of the end of the world.
