Today's a day for a new kinda video-- discussing news! I have a lot to say when it comes to cartoons, so today is the day to start!
DC
Comics has announced a line-up of new "adult themed"
Hannah Barbera comics.
You can read the press release about them below if you'd like more info:
FUTURE
QUEST –
Writer Jeff Parker (AQUAMAN,
JUSTICE LEAGUE UNITED,
BATMAN '66) and artist Evan "Doc" Shaner (JUSTICE LEAGUE
DARKSEID WAR:
GREEN LANTERN) join forces to bring fans new tales of adventure's most iconic teenager,
Jonny Quest, along with his sidekick
Hadji. This series combines
Team QUEST (Hadji,
Race Bannon,
Dr. Benton Quest and
Jezebel Jade) with some of the most well-known action and adventure heroes ever created by Hanna-Barbera, including
SPACE GHOST, THE HERCULOIDS, BIRDMAN, MIGHTOR and FRANKENSTEIN Jr
., among others.
WACKY RACELAND – Take
The Ant Hill Mob,
Penelope Pitstop and
Dick Dastardly, mix in a healthy dose of "
Mad Max" and you get this dark and gritty take on Hanna-Barbera's "
Wacky Races," courtesy of writer
Ken Pontac (
REBOOT, HAPPY
TREE FRIENDS) and artist
Leonardo Manco (HELLBLAZER), with vehicle designs by
Mark Sexton (
MAD MAX:
FURY ROAD). A time of hope and innocence with
Utopia at the finish line has given way to planetary
Armageddon and a desert wasteland full of radioactive lakes, nanotech dust storms, and cannibalistic mutants.
Against this backdrop, the Wacky Racers and their sentient vehicles continue their contest, but now the competition is for survival, and there can only be one winner when the checkered flag falls.
THE FLINTSTONES –
Based on character designs by
Amanda Conner (HARLEY QUINN, STARFIRE), writer
Mark Russell (PREZ,
GOD IS DISAPPOINTED IN YOU) provides his own unique perspective on everyone's "modern stone age family."
Russell will use
Bedrock's most popular family to shine a light on humanity's ancient customs and institutions in a funny origin story of human civilization.
Fred is still the simple man, striving to be the king of his castle,
Wilma is still the tolerant but not-indulging wife and
Barney (with his wife
Betty and infant son Bamm-Bamm) is still the original wingman, whose loyalty to Fred often outweighs his common sense.
SCOOBY APOCALYPSE –
Featuring character designs by veteran artist
Jim Lee and an origin story by Jim Lee and
Keith Giffen (JUSTICE LEAGUE
3001), artist
Howard Porter (
SUPERMAN) will provide his own unique take on
Freddie,
Velma,
Daphne,
Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. "Those meddling kids" and their
Mystery Machine are at the center of a well-meaning experiment gone wrong and they'll need to bring all of their mystery solving skills to bear (along with plenty of
Scooby Snacks), to find a cure for a world full of mutated creatures infected by a nanite virus that enhances their fears, terrors and baser instincts. This time, the horrors are real in this apocalyptic near-future badland!
