The duo paired for one of the most beloved Justice League runs of all time, the Bwa-ha-ha era of Justice League Internationalwith Kevin Maguire on art. They’ve worked together a number of times since, including on books like Justice League 3000,Booster Goldand Larfleeze(yes, Larfleeze). And their true skill as writers often gets lost beneath the surface of their work. By all rights, this book shouldn’t work. It’s a dark post-apocalyptic zombie adjacent tale starring the Mystery, Inc. crew, and Giffen and DeMatteis are semi-aping Dawn of the Deadin the most recent arc. But it is a successful story, interesting and smart and funny because the creative team is turning each character over and inside-out for the story, using the premise to add depth that was never there when the gang was ripping ape masks off of Old Man Willoughby. The Shaggy and Velma and Daphne and Fred of this comic are more realized than they’ve ever been before. Also, they’re killing Fred. Take a look at these preview pages and get ready to have your heart broken. [gallery:0]
