Zoinks! ( )

Best reimagining of Scooby-Doo that I have ever seen! Well done and so fun! ( )

Even though I loved most iterations of Scooby-Doo, Zombie Island is by far the best reimagining of Scooby and the gang. I loved the fact that Daphne kept her feminity but wasn't defined by it. She was ambitious, strong-willed, independent, and could define herself without detracting from her feminity. Velma on the other was the only one that always got short-changed in almost every adaptation. I was always hoping they would go in a much needed different direction for her character. The guys were always pretty much the same. I was really hoping that they would bring that same energy to this endeavor. Don't get me wrong, the ride was still fun overall, it was just lacking in building something interesting between the two female leads. Daphne is ridiculously arrogant for no reason. They tried various ways to justify her arrogant and superiority complex by devling into some half-baked backstory but that immediately falls apart when her friends blossoms into an attractive young lady. Would you blow up your friendship over some petty shit like that? I mean, really? Anyways, then we have Daphne who has anger issues, interesting at first, but after seeing her abuse Velma for the upteenth time I was over it. I was really hoping Velma would have socked her,real talk. The adventures between Fred and Shaggy is by far the best part. I was all about that. The stupid shit Fred says is sometimes funny and breaks up the sometimes monotonous beats of the overall plot/story. Shaggy and Scooby-Doo's relationship is sooo cute. I LOVE THEM. I'm hoping it gets better next volume, still fun though. ( )

This book went hard and I REALLY want Daphne's amazing purple cargo pants ( )

Loved it the first time - still loved it the second
