Comics Review: "SPACE GHOST Volume 2 #4": A War of Crystals and Sharks

SPACE GHOST VOL. 2 #4

DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT

STORY: David Pepose

ART: Jonathan Lau

COLORS: Andrew Dalhouse

LETTERS: Taylor Esposito

EDITOR: Joseph Rybandt

COVER: Francesco Mattina

VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Jae Lee with June Chung; Bjorn Barends; Michael Cho; Francesco Mattina

32pp, Color, $4.99 U.S. (October 2025)

Rated “Teen”

“Who Will Survive The Glasstor-Remora War?!”

Space Ghost is a superhero character created by the American animation studio and production company, Hanna-Barbera Productions.  The character first appeared in the Saturday morning cartoon series, “Space Ghost,” which was originally broadcast on CBS from September 1966 to September 1967 for 20 episodes.  Space Ghost shared his television series with a second feature, entitled “Dino Boy in the Lost Valley.”  Space Ghost was designed by cartoonist and comic book artist, Alex Toth (1928-2006), who created the character with Hanna-Barbera's founders, William Hanna (1910-2001) and Joseph Barbera (1911-2006).

In his original incarnation, Space Ghost was a superhero whose base of operations was a small world known as “Ghost Planet.”  He fought super-villains in outer space with his teen sidekicks, Jan and Jace, and their monkey, Blip.  His main weapons were power bands he wore around his wrists and lower arms; the bands fired off multiple energy beam-based attacks, including heat, cold, and force, to name a few.  Space Ghost could also fly, survive in space, and turn invisible (his “Inviso Power”).  He also had a space ship known as “the Phantom Cruiser.”

Space Ghost sporadically appeared in various comic book publications over a fifty year period.  Dynamite Entertainment has just launched a new Space Ghost comic book as part of its licensing agreement with Warner Bros.  Entitled Space Ghost Volume 2, it is written by David Pepose; drawn by Jonathan Lau; colored by Andrew Dalhouse; and lettered by Taylor Esposito.  In the new series, The Space Ghost and his surrogate children, the twins Jan and Jace Keplar, and their monkey, Blip, fight the forces of darkness across the vastness of space.

Space Ghost Volume 2 #4 (“Who Will Survive The Glasstor-Remora War?!”) opens with the hope of seeing the end of a perpetual feud between two mighty forces.  This ongoing war between the Shard-People of the Crystalline Empire of Glasstor and the Kingdom of the Space Sharks from the blood-red waters of Planet Liquo will seemingly come to an end with a peace deal.

Space Ghost and the twins, Jan and Jace Keplar, are guarding a summit between the two powers – only to have it derailed by a mysterious assassination attempt.  With interplanetary war now looming, can our heroes track down the culprits in time to pull everyone back from the brink of annihilation?

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  Space Ghost #4, Volume Two is one that I have recently received, but it is not the first Space Ghost comic book that I have read.

This fourth issue of the second volume of Space Ghost offers an exciting two-part story with a cliffhanger ending sure to bring readers back for more.  David Pepose unleashes the rage of a blood feud, and the result is a story that will test our heroes' resolve.  Honestly, I think Pepose's tale would make for an exciting episode of a new Space Ghost animated series, if such of thing were to come about.  In the meantime, we can enjoy Pepose in comic books.

Jonathan Lau's storytelling brings this story to life as a comic book that seems to always be on fire.  Lau creates a war among the stars that boils over like the conflicts of Star Wars. There is so much power in Lau's storytelling, and I certainly am shocked that he has been able to find fresh ways to depict such muscular dramatic storytelling.  Andrew Dalhouse's colors are the perfect accompaniment for this tale of Space Ghost's terrible and costly determination.  As expected, Taylor Esposito's lettering creates the thunder for this story's lighting.

I highly recommend Space Ghost Volume 2, dear readers.  I'm still impressed two years on.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Dynamite Entertainment's Warner Bros. comic book series will want to read Space Ghost Volume Two.

Supernatural was an American television series created by Eric Kripke.  It debuted on The WB broadcast network on September 13, 2005 and subsequently became part of successor network, The CW.  The series ended November 19, 2020, after a total of 15 seasons and 327 episodes.  “Supernatural” starred Jared Padalecki as “Sam Winchester” and Jensen Ackles as “Dean Winchester,” two brothers who hunt demons, ghosts, monsters, and other supernatural beings.

DC Comics and its Wildstorm imprint published four Supernatural comic book miniseries over a period from 2007 to 2011.  Now, Dynamite Entertainment has the license and has launched a new series, Supernatural.  It is written by Greg Pak; drawn by Eder Messias and others; colored by Ellie Wright; and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry.  According to Dynamite, this new comic book is set between Supernatural Seasons 1 and 2, and finds Dean and Sam Winchester forced to take on a new threat before they can continue their hunt for the demon that killed their mother, Mary Winchester.

Supernatural #2 opens in 1961 just in time to witness the inevitable aftermath of a murder.  In the present, The Winchester's adventures along the back roads of America's heartland hunting monsters have been rewarding.  The problem is that they do not pay well or even pay at all.  Sam and Dean are broke, and Dean has hit upon the idea of traveling to Las Vegas where he figures that they can earn money the old-fashioned way – gambling what little cash they have left at a casino.

While Dean is going through a losing streak, Sam meets California “Callie” Hernandez, a young woman who decides to use her amazing powers of luck to help Dean start winning.  Dean's winning streak catches the attention of Bobby McCatrick, the hood who runs this casino.  Will the sympathetic Callie lead Sam and Dean to temporary wealth or to worst turn of fortune?

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  Supernatural #2 is one of the latest, and it is the second “Supernatural” comic book that I have read.

I did not read any of the DC/Wildstorm's Supernatural comic books, and I only watched the first few seasons of “Supernatural.”  When I tried to rejoin it, I just couldn't reconnect.  Eventually, I'll try streaming it... all 15 seasons...

I had my doubts about this new Supernatural comic book series, although it is written by one of the better comic book writers of the last two decades, Greg Pak.  But Greg has delivered, and I think the first issue of this series, Supernatural #01, was not a fluke.  Pak delivers another standalone issue that feels just like the early, Gothic, and haunted early episodes of the television series.  If Netflix... I mean, Warner Bros. ever decides to bring “Supernatural” back to television, I think considering Greg Pak as a series writer would be a good idea.

Issue #1's artist, Eder Messias, is joined by Pasquale Qualano, Alessandro Ranaldi, and Vincenzo Federici to create a mood that makes this second issue that feels genuine to its source material “Supernatural.”  One again, readers won't think they are reading a tie-in comic book because Messias and company's storytelling feel like it belongs in the world of “Supernatural,” a genuine chapter within the continuity of the series.

Ellie Wright's colors capture the garishly colorful mood of the casino which makes this setting seem genuine.  As always, letterer Jeff Eckleberry captures the spirit of the story, this time creating the sense of a crime story that is gradually revealing the darkness in its origins.

I didn't know what to expect of the first two issues, dear readers.  Now, I expect that I'll have to return for the third.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of the television series, “Supernatural” may want to try the new Supernatural comic book series.

Rated “Teen”

“No One Escapes... Tarko the Terrible!”

Space Ghost is a superhero character created by the American animation studio and production company, Hanna-Barbera Productions.  The character first appeared in the Saturday morning cartoon series, “Space Ghost,” which was originally broadcast on CBS from September 1966 to September 1967 for 20 episodes.  Space Ghost shared his television series with a second feature, entitled “Dino Boy in the Lost Valley.”  Space Ghost was designed by cartoonist and comic book artist, Alex Toth (1928-2006), who created the character with Hanna-Barbera's founders, William Hanna (1910-2001) and Joseph Barbera (1911-2006).

In his original incarnation, Space Ghost was a superhero whose base of operations was a small world known as “Ghost Planet.”  He fought super-villains in outer space with his teen sidekicks, Jan and Jace, and their monkey, Blip.  His main weapons were power bands he wore around his wrists and lower arms; the bands fired off multiple energy beam-based attacks, including heat, cold, and force, to name a few.  Space Ghost could also fly, survive in space, and turn invisible (his “Inviso Power”).  He also had a space ship known as “the Phantom Cruiser.”

Space Ghost sporadically appeared in various comic book publications over a fifty year period.  Dynamite Entertainment has just launched a new Space Ghost comic book as part of its licensing agreement with Warner Bros.  Entitled Space Ghost Volume 2, it is written by David Pepose; drawn by Jonathan Lau; colored by Andrew Dalhouse; and lettered by Taylor Esposito.

Space Ghost Volume 2 #3 (“No One Escapes... Tarko the Terrible!”) opens 10,000 years ago and tells the tale of the Viking barbarian, Tarko the Terrible, and his seemingly icy end on a blood-soaked battlefield.  Now, he is a frozen bauble belonging to the latest bad guy to be conquered by the Space Ghost and his assistants, Jan and Jace.

When the twin's estranged grandfather, Dr. Henry Contra, defrosts Tarko, disasters strikes!  Once thawed, Tarko discovers a whole new world ripe for conquest.  Can Space Ghost and his young charges stop this time-lost warrior from wreaking havoc upon the future?  Or will our heroes find themselves among the newest victims of Tarko's savage blade?

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  Space Ghost #3, Volume 2 is one that I have recently received, but it is not the first Space Ghost comic book that I have read.

Once again, I am really late with a review a review of Space Ghost Volume 2, so I'll keep it short.  Writer David Pepose and artist Jonathan Lau continue the excellence they established in Space Ghost Vol. 1.  They have mastered the standalone story in the first volume, and they are continuing that mastery with the new series, issue #3 exemplifies.

Pepose offers an axe-swinging sword and sorcery tale that blends the savagery of a Conan comic book with the a touch of Thor-Viking hell-raising.  It all feels like a natural fit for Space Ghost, and the result is a rousing standalone tale.  Lau's storytelling seemingly refuses to be confined to the page, all the better to depict the ferocity of Tarko's violence.  Lau brings what I call a “rousing tale” and makes seem to jump off the page.

Andrew Dalhouse's colors set this tale of Tarko the Terrible on fire with explosive brilliance that dazzles with each fight.  Taylor Esposito is still delivering classic comics font, perhaps making an argument that he is the definitive Space Ghost comic book letterer.

I highly recommend Space Ghost Volume 2, dear readers.  Whether we are on time or late, we should keep reading it.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Dynamite Entertainment's Warner Bros. comic book series will want to read Space Ghost Volume 2.

Zootopia is a 2016 animated buddy-cop comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios.  Zootopia is set in a world of anthropomorphic animals (animals that talk and act like humans).  The film follows a rabbit named Judy Hopps, who is rookie police officer, and a fox named Nick Wilde, who is a con artist.  Judy and Nick end up working together to uncover a conspiracy involving the disappearance of predators.  At the end of the film, Nick graduates from the police academy and becomes Judy's partner.

Dynamite Entertainment has been producing licensed comic books based on Disney characters and IP since 2022.  The latest is a Zootopia comic book series, entitled Zootopia: Volume 1.  It is written by Jeff Parker; drawn by Alessandro Ranaldi; colored by Dearbhla Kelly; and lettered Jeff Eckleberry.  The series continues the adventures of Officers Hopps and Wilde and is set after the events of the original film.  The duo is currently trying to discover the mysterious figure who is paying ordinary Zootopia citizens to commit crimes.

Zootopia: Volume 1 #5 finds Officers Hopps and Wilde on their latest assignment – volunteering to speak to the Zootopia Junior Rangers.  However, once they arrive on the outskirts of Zootopia, they discover that the troop's Den Mother Miss Bev has changed plan.  The members of the scout troop won't be fishing; they'll be panning for gold!

However, a local bear clan isn't crazy about strangers in their woods, and now, a scout trooper is in trouble.  Can Officers Hopps and Wilde pan for gold and save the day and solve an unexpected mystery with a surprise enemy?

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  Zootopia: Volume 1, Issue #4 is the latest.

I passed on Walt Disney's 2016 computer-animated hit film, Zootopia, when it first played in theaters.  Later, I started hearing good things about it, so I gave it a try on DVD (via Netflix).  I loved it, and I'm excited about the sequel film, Zootopia 2,  which recently arrived in theaters.

Jeff Parker is still intriguing his Zootopia readers (which includes me) with novel plots and engaging conspiratorial mysteries.  He blends anthropomorphic fun and crime-fighting comedy into a sparkling adventure comic book that would be perfect for young readers and also for fans of Disney comic books.

The series' artists, Alessandro Ranaldi (pencils and inks) and Dearbhla Kelly (colors), create exciting storytelling no matter where Parker sets the story.  Ranaldi's art hops and dashes across the pages, and, in this issues, the story soars from one side of the woods and creek to the next.  Kelly's colors have the spark of Disney's animation magic and also make each issue's story fly off the page.  As usual, Jeff Eckleberry's lettering sells this story's conceit that strange things can happen anywhere.

I look forward to more Zootopia Volume 1.  Anyone who reads this fifth issue, dear readers, will feel the need to keep coming back for more.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Dynamite Entertainment's Disney comic book series and of Zootopia will want the comic book series, Zootopia: Volume 1.
