Let's not go through this whole "How old are they" business because this comic is in its own continuity. What I mean to say is, you can question how old they, but not in the sense of where it is in standard continuity. There's no need to question whether or not it's set before or after What's New, Scooby-Doo? or whatever, because the answer is neither. It's clearly been identified as existing in a separate reality, as all the DC reimagingings are. The way some of talk, it sounds like some of you would honestly believe that Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins is a prequel to Tim Burton's Batman. It isn't. Just like Apocalypse isn't an anything -quel to what's already been done.

DC's #70 of the main comic isn't going to help much then. Oh, dear. You talking about the 1997-2010 series #70? I'm talking about the current series (which is why I brought it up to begin with). In #1 it apparently said that Daphne was 16, but they're post-high school in #70, which is all very well and good because 70 is after 1, right? But they probably won't keep that up, and it will probably be mixed up again. Whatever ages they are in Apocalypse doesn't reflect on how old they are in Where Are You? and Team-Up, because this is set in an alternate universe. To me it seems like the conversation was shifting back to Apocalypse being a sequel to the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! cartoon, but Apocalypse has its own origin and everything.

Oh, I know Scooby Apocalypse is its own thing. We got mixed up along the way.
But back on topic, I added it to my pull list at the comic store yesterday. They said a lot of people are asking about it and are excited. So that's good news.

A ghost town sounds like a cool issue! I like how we're already talking about a comic issue from a series that hasn't started yet

Comes out July 20th.
That's how comics are. We'll know about Issue 4 even before Issue 1 comes out. Cause next months solicits come out around this time. And Scooby Apocalypse #1 comes out a week later.
I do like it. They arrive in a ghost town to try to catch a break..and they can't.
Edit:
Also, they are different comics but i figured i'd put the descriptions for the other two Scooby issues coming out July here as well.
SCOOBY-DOO TEAM-UP #17 Written by SHOLLY FISCH Art and cover by DARIO BRIZUELA Is Midway City haunted? That’s the mystery that Scooby and the gang have to help Hawkman and Hawkgirl unravel. Or are the spooky shenanigans masking a nefarious plot by Hawkman’s old enemies, the Shadow Thief, the Fadeaway Man, and the Matter Master? On sale JULY 27 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED E
SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE ARE YOU? #71 Written by DEREK FRIDOLFS Art by WALTER CARZON and HORACIO OTTOLINI Cover by DEREK FRIDOLFS and HORACIO OTTOLINI Boot camp turns into “Boo” camp, when the Mystery Gang is recruited by the military to investigate a haunted army base!

A ghost town sounds like a cool issue! I like how we're already talking about a comic issue from a series that hasn't started yet Its made WIRED and a pile of other places that Scooby Doo normally wouldn't go. The whole ethos/style of the comic is orthogonal to the likes of Team Up and Where Are You comics which should give the writers and artists free reign.
