DC will launch four new Hanna-Barbera series directed at a Teen+ audience in May. The new series are a “reimagining of these Saturday morning classics with a more modern and contemporary look and feel,” according to DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan Didio.
Scooby Apocalypse, with character designs by Jim Lee and an origin story by Lee and Keith Giffen, with art by Howard Porter, will be set in an apocalyptic near-future badland. The gang will be seeking a cure “for a world full of mutated creatures infected by a virus that enhances their fears, terrors, and baser instincts.”

Other characters will include Space Ghost, The Herculoids, Birdman, Mightor, Frankenstein Jr., The Impossibles, and The Galaxy Trio. The series will be written by Jeff Parker with art by Evan “Doc” Shaner.
