This isn't good. Maybe if we spread it by word of mouth, and make sure we're loud and proud about it...or maybe I'm just being paranoid.

i dont think word of mouth will do much good, that only really works with new releases., the issues are into double digits at this point

No. Maybe someone should make one.

Scooby Apocalypse features on various DC feeds in twitter, tumblr and youtube. The fundamental problem is the pacing of the story, it has rarely got out of first gear.

in other words, no enough stuff going on to keep peoples interest Essentially the balance of the book is inconsistent. Action focused books need exposition to join the dots and exposition driven books need action to move things along and there's rarely been the correct mix with the general criticism being the book is too heavy on the exposition and talking heads, especially for an apocalypse themed book. So titles like Black Monday Murders or Ether are more of story driven but have action that moves things along and keeps the pace moving whereas titles Batgirl or Horizon need exposition to set-up scenes and explain things. We're coming to the end of the second Trade Paperback (issue 12) and finally we are heading out to try to fix things. Now looking back at the solicitations this was what was in for issue #5 This is now going to happen in issue 12, that's 7 issues later than first solicited. That's a lot of extra stuff to put in and possibly at short notice. My theory is that they had a one arc story planned out, perhaps 12 issues long, the initial success of the book meant DC decided to put some more stories in, explore some of the ideas that had been developed while producing the arc. So we're now picking up where issue 5 was originally meant to be. Perhaps the pacing will now pickup and they'll charge to the end and save the world. But I can forgive it a lot as it gave us Velma dressed as Red Sonja.

good points russm. I think the initial success resulted in padding the story

Figures for #10 and #11 are up, Drop between #10 and #11 is only a few hundred. Find out on a few weeks if things are leveling off or not.
