Rated “All Ages”

“Year One” Part Three of Twelve: “Where Did Darkwing Learn Martial Arts?”

“Darkwing Duck” was an animated superhero comedy television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation.  It originally aired for three seasons (for a total of 91 episodes) from 1991 to 1992, both as part of the syndicated programming block, “The Disney Afternoon,” and as part of ABC's Saturday morning lineup.  “Darkwing Duck” focused on a suburban duck, Drake Mallard, and his superhero alter-ego, “Darkwing Duck.”  The character was a parody of the pulp fiction vigilante character, The Shadow, and his alter-ego, Kent Allard.

A little over two years ago, Dynamite Entertainment launched a new Darkwing Duck comic book series.  Now, it has recently relaunched the series with Darkwing Duck Volume 2.  It is written by Daniel Kibblesmith; drawn by Ted Brandt & Ro Stein; and colored by Dearbhla Kelly; and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry.  The new series revisits Darkwing Duck's first year as a superhero.

Darkwing Duck Volume 2 #3 (“Where Did Darkwing Learn Martial Arts?”) opens as Darkwing Duck (“DW”) decides to share with his adopted daughter, Gosalyn, the first chapter of his book, “The Secret History of Darkwing Duck!”  As a costumed crimefighter with years of experience safeguarding the streets of St. Canard, Darkwing Duck is, of course, a seasoned master of hand-to-hand (or wing-to-wing) combat.  So how did DW become proficient in the exquisite arts of combat?

Now, Darkwing Duck is transporting (or will attempt to transport) Gosalyn back to his earliest days at the Training Temple of the Venerable One, an old master who imparts wisdom and verbal take-downs in equal measure.  Will DW learned the value of patience or self-control?  Or will standing up to bullies cause the Venerable One to expel him?  “The Ancient Book of Ancientness” may have those answers and more.

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  One of them is Darkwing Duck Volume 2, Issue #3, one of a few Darkwing Duck comic books that I have ever read.

I continue to find myself drawn to the work of the new Darkwing Duck comic book's creative team.  Writer Daniel Kibblesmith continues to spin delightful, imaginative yarns, this time featuring a glimpse into Darkwing's formative years.  Kibblesmith offers enjoyable characters while operating the mechanics of a superhero's past in an even earlier time than a “Year One” story arc.

The art team of illustrators Ted Brandt & Ro Stein and colorist Dearbhla Kelly once again offer a spry chapter of storytelling that sparks on the page with adventure and humor.  Brandt & Stein continue to capture the Disney graphical aesthetic via genuinely entertaining storytelling.  Kelly's coloring hints at the faraway nature of this chapter's setting.  Letterer Jeff Eckleberry keeps the energy going with battery-charged sound effects, captions, and word balloons.

I hope that Dynamite can find continued success with its Darkwing Duck comic books.  There is an audience for this title, and it could be you, dear readers.  It is pure comic book fun.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Darkwing Duck will want to try Dynamite's new Darkwing Duck Volume 2 comic book series.

Comics Review: "SPACE GHOST #12" Ragnaroks to the End

SPACE GHOST VOL. 1 #12

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; Anthony Marques

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

Rated “Teen”

“The Siege of Ghost Planet!”

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.

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 1, it is written by David Pepose; drawn by Jonathan Lau; colored by Andrew Dalhouse; and lettered by Taylor Esposito.  In the new series, twins Jan and Jace Keplar and their pet monkey, Blip, meet that legendary cosmic vigilante known as “the Space Ghost.”

Space Ghost Volume One #12 (“The Siege of Ghost Planet!”) opens at Robo Corp.  Doctor Xander Ibal, the CEO OF Robo Corp, has finally obtained Blip because he is the “Binary Language Integrated Prototype.”  Now, Ibal can use this to initiate the “Ultima Protocols”  What is that, and how will it affect the galaxy... and even the universe?

Meanwhile, Ghost Planet lies in ruins and on the verge of total collapse.  The “Council of Doom”:  Zorak, Moltar, General Metallus, the Creature King, the Widow, and Brak, stands triumphant, while Space Ghost clings to life and the very edge of oblivion.  Can Jan and Jace find a way to get Space Ghost back on his feet?  Or is this the end of our heroes?

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 #12, Volume One is a recent issue that I have received.

This twelfth issue of the 2024-launched Space Ghost comic book series brings the series to a close.  There is a new relaunch scheduled for July 2025.

Meanwhile, I can give this series a review send-off by simply saying that writer David Pepose and artist Jonathan Lau have ended it the way they began it – on fire.  They have liberated their Space Ghost from every previous iteration.  It is as if Pepose and Lau have gone back to the beginning and forged their own path.  Can I also the blazed that own path?

Andrew Dalhouse's lovely colors are still a raging inferno, matching Lau flame for flame.  He deserves some award notice for his work here.  Letterer Taylor Esposito brings the sounds of battle to life with more of his strong lettering.  As he closes this issue out, I'm sure Esposito is ready to bring the noise again for the next series.

I had a blast reading Space Ghost Volume One, dear readers.  I want you to enjoy this, too, and you can via current and future trade paperback editions.

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

Comics Review: Disney's "DARKWING DUCK #2" Gets Bushwhacked

DARKWING DUCK VOLUME 2 #2

DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT

STORY: Daniel Kibblesmith

ART: Ted Brandt & Ro Stein

COLORS: Dearbhla Kelly

LETTERS: Jeff Eckleberry

EDITOR: Nate Cosby

COVER: Tad Stones

VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Mark Bagley; Ted Brandt & Ro Stein; Ciro Cangialosi; Tad Stones

32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (March 2025)

Rated “All Ages”

“Year One” Part Two of Twelve: “Bushwhacked”

“Darkwing Duck” was an animated superhero comedy television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation.  It originally aired for three seasons (for a total of 91 episodes) from 1991 to 1992, both as part of the syndicated programming block, “The Disney Afternoon,” and as part of ABC's Saturday morning lineup.  “Darkwing Duck” focused on a suburban duck, Drake Mallard, and his superhero alter-ego, “Darkwing Duck.”  The character was a parody of the pulp fiction vigilante character, The Shadow, and his alter-ego, Kent Allard.

A little over two years ago, Dynamite Entertainment launched a new Darkwing Duck comic book series.  Now, it has recently relaunched the series with Darkwing Duck Volume 2.  It is written by Daniel Kibblesmith; drawn by Ted Brandt & Ro Stein; and colored by Dearbhla Kelly; and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry.  The new series revisits Darkwing Duck's first year as a superhero.

Darkwing Duck Volume 2 #2 (“Bushwhacked”) opens in the city of St. Canard, specifically in suburbs at the residence of Drake Mallard.  There, Drake Mallard a.k.a. “Darkwing Duck;” his adopted daughter, Gosalyn; his pilot and sidekick, Launchpad McQuack; and Gosalyn's friend and classmate, Honker are engaging in some role play.  This is supposed to help Gosalyn and Honker prepare for the auditions for roles in an upcoming school play.  But Darkwing Duck manages to hog the spotlight.

As for getting cast in the school play, however, things don't go as Gosalyn expected.  She and Honker are cast as shrubbery, but one of her teacher's, Mr. Rushboot, says he has a way to help Gosalyn get a bigger role.  All she has to do is help him fix his garden after school, and he'll see what he can do about a bigger role in the school play for Gosalyn.  But come opening night, Gosalyn's bigger role is also not what she expected.  Meanwhile, Darkwing Duck and Launchpad are at the St. Canard Home and Garden Center to discover who stole seeds for a common hedge plant and why.

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  One of them is Darkwing Duck Volume 2, Issue #2, one of a few Darkwing Duck comic books that I have ever read.

I find myself drawn to the work of this series' creative team.  Writer Daniel Kibblesmith spins delightful, imaginative yarns featuring colorful villains.  Meanwhile, his stories depicting Darkwing Duck in the early days of his crime-busting are a delightful affair of family and friends.  Kibblesmith finds the joy in the characters and personalities of Darkwing Duck and the supporting cast while operating the mechanics of a superhero's “Year One” story arc.

The art team of illustrators Ted Brandt & Ro Stein and colorist Dearbhla Kelly once again offer a spry chapter of storytelling that sparks on the page with adventure and humor.  Brandt & Stein capture the Disney graphical aesthetic beyond the mere visual look of it all.  Their storytelling is genuinely entertaining.  Kelly's coloring hints at the vintage element in this story that obviously takes place in the past, while keeping everything fresh.  Letterer Jeff Eckleberry keeps the energy going with battery-charged sound effects, captions, and word balloons.

I hope that Dynamite can find continued success with its Darkwing Duck comic books.  There is an audience for this title, and it could be you, dear readers.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Darkwing Duck will want to try Dynamite's new Darkwing Duck Volume 2 comic book series.

Comics Review: "SPACE GHOST #11" Gets Caught Up

SPACE GHOST VOL. 1 #11

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; Anthony Marques

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

Rated “Teen”

“Beware... The Council of Doom!”

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.

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 1, it is written by David Pepose; drawn by Jonathan Lau; colored by Andrew Dalhouse; and lettered by Taylor Esposito.  In the new series, twins Jan and Jace Keplar and their pet monkey, Blip, meet that legendary cosmic vigilante known as “the Space Ghost.”

Space Ghost Volume One #11 (“Beware... The Council of Doom!”) opens on Planet Orkon, where a familiar foe is back in action.  That works perfectly for Doctor Xander Ibal, the CEO OF Robo Corp.  He placed a 5 million credits bounty on Space Ghost, and now he wants something that the vigilante hero has in his possession on Ghost Planet.

This time, however, Ibal does not want to hire just one super-villain that will likely fall before Space Ghost; he wants an entire gang of them.  Enter the “Council of Doom.”  Can Zorak, Moltar, General Metallus, the Creature King, the Widow, and Brak do together what they could not do separately?

Meanwhile, on the home front, Space Ghost has reached a crisis point, and Jan isn't taking it anymore.  Will family drama be the thing that brings down the Space Ghost?

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 #11, Volume One is a recent issue that I have received.

Oops, David Pepose did it again, but he's not that innocent.  He knows how to hold his readers, thrill his readers, and kill his readers softly with his song.  Having Space Ghost face his greatest adversaries, while facing his biggest domestic drama since the death of his family is a genius move that keeps this Space Ghost comic book in nova mode.

Artist Jonathan Lau, as always, turns Pepose's story into muscular comic book storytelling.  This time Lau puts both the action and drama in full explosive mode.  Lau has the knack to set the right tone for every scene and indeed, every panel.  It is a winning formula for gripping storytelling.  Andrew Dalhouse's lovely colors are still a raging inferno.  He deserves some award notice for his work here.  Letterer Taylor Esposito brings the sounds of battle and domestic disharmony to life with more of his strong lettering.

I'm having a blast reading Space Ghost Volume One, dear readers.  I want you to enjoy this, too.  Come on over; come on over, baby!

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

Comics Review: "THE HERCULOIDS #2" Comes Out Swinging

THE HERCULOIDS VOL. 1 #2

DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT

STORY: Tom Sniegoski

ART: Craig Rousseau

COLORS: Omi Remalante, Jr.

LETTERS: Jeff Eckleberry

EDITOR: Joseph Rybandt

COVER: Francesco Mattina

VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Joseph Michael Linsner; Bjorn Barends; Felipe Massafera; Eric Powell; Francesco Mattina

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

Rated “Teen”

“The Herculoids” created and designed by Alex Toth

“The Herculoids” was an American Saturday-morning animated television series that was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.  It originally aired on CBS for 18 episodes from September 1967 to January 1968.  Rooted in science fiction and fantasy, “The Herculoids” featured characters created and designed by the late Alex Toth (1928-2006).

"The Herculoids" was originally set on the planet Amzot and featured eight regular characters.  The main characters were members of a space barbarian family:  Zandor, the father; Tara, the mother; and Dorno, the son.  In order to keep their planet safe from invaders, they fight alongside the other five regulars, a group of giant pets:  the laser dragon, “Zok,” the space rhinoceros, “Tundro,” the rock ape, “Igoo,” and the shape-shifting duo of “Gloop and Gleep.”

Over the decades, there have been comic books featuring The Herculoids, published by Gold Key Comics, Marvel Comics, and DC Comics.  The latest is The Herculoids Volume 1, which is part of Dynamite Entertainment's licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery.  The Herculoids is written by Tom Sniegoski; drawn by Craig Rousseau; colored by Omi Remalante, Jr.; and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry.

The Herculoids Volume 1 #2 opens with a recap of how the mercenary, Quen-Tel, was able to convince a mysterious consortium to provide him with an experienced exploratory and extraction team and one of its largest refinery ships.  He was given all this so that he could lead an expedition to Amzot in a bid to steal all of Amzot's natural resources.  There is one big problem, though.

Amzot is the home of “the Herculoids,” and no matter what advantage you might think you have over them, you don't.  That's true even when you take what is supposed to be their most vulnerable family member.  F**k around; find out.

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  The Herculoids Volume 1, Issue #2 is the latest, and this maybe the first comic book featuring The Herculoids solo that I have read.

The Herculoids #1 did not open with a bang.  In that debut issue, writer Tom Sniegoski offered a gentle introductory tale, although there was some “fantasy violence.  This was a chapter that reintroduced the characters of the famed vintage Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning animated series.  Issue #1 was also a tame introduction for those who are new to the tale.  With this second issue, Sniegoski unleashes the Herculoids beasts on this story that is full of intrigue and explosive action.  I think this chapter will please both longtime fans and new fans of The Herculoids.

Artist Craig Rousseau offered an unadorned first issue with plain, straightforward storytelling.  Here, he also goes wild with Issue #2, depicting lots intense action and heightened drama, showing off what he will likely bring to the series going forward. Omi Remalante, Jr.'s coloring continues to keep-it-simple-stupid with a hues that emphasize the action.  Jeff Eckleberry captures the classic vibe of old cartoons and vintage comics with his lettering.

I think The Herculoids 2025 has potential, which this second issue shows off.  I plan to come back, and perhaps, you should also, dear readers, if you are fans of this franchise.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Dynamite Entertainment's Warner Bros. comic book series and of “The Herculoids” will want to read The Herculoids Volume 1.

Rated “Teen”

“Who is the Space Spectre?!”

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.

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 1, it is written by David Pepose; drawn by Jonathan Lau; colored by Andrew Dalhouse; and lettered by Taylor Esposito.  In the new series, twins Jan and Jace Keplar and their pet monkey, Blip, meet that legendary cosmic vigilante known as “the Space Ghost.”

Space Ghost Volume One #10 (“Who is the Space Spectre?!”) opens at the Interstellar Research Platform near Black Hole X.  There, a man with dark plans gets a comeuppance before the plans get a chance to be born, let alone turn dark.

Meanwhile, at Robo Corp Tower, the CEO of Robo Corp, Dr. Xander Ibal, plots the launch of “Project Ultima,” via the “Ultima Satellite,” which will give Robo Corp galaxy-wide expansion and influence.  A dark and shocking figure from the future emerges, however, presenting a new threat to Robo Corp, to Space Ghost and his family, and to everyone.

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 #10, Volume One is a recent issue that I have received.

Every time I feel like I'm running out of gas when it comes to reviewing writer David Pepose and artist Jonathan Lau's Space Ghost, I read another issue and get a jolt up my ass.  Suddenly, I'm feeling new energy to sing the praises of this series.  If the original 1966-67 TV series were said to have a true sequel, it would be this reboot that is more like a narrative retelling than an IP demolition, which is what many reboots turn out to be.  Pepose is certainly imaginative in the elements he brings to this Space Ghost comic book, but this time, in the plight of the “villain,” there is genuinely poignant drama that resonates throughout the story.

Artist Jonathan Lau turns this story into all-powerful comic book storytelling.  He builds the drama and blows up the action, and I guess I finally have to admit something.  I love the brawny, gritty, musculature that he layers on the figures of Space Ghost and on this chapter's “adversary.”  It is almost like vintage physique photography, and it gives me a case of man-crush.  Anyway, Lau is doing superstar work on this series, and I don't know if this is his best work.  It gets hard to tell because sometimes Lau's work here seems like all “be best.”

Andrew Dalhouse's lovely colors continue to set this story afire, turning drama into an inferno.  Letterer Taylor Esposito continues to do his best cinematic scores, giving sound to the elegant silence of comic books that the best letterers bring to life in the reader's imagination.

I'm having a blast reading Space Ghost Volume One, dear readers.  Don't say that you want “great stories with great characters” – in a whiny voice – if you aren't reading this.  That only makes me doubt your sincerity about wanting the “great.”

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

Rated “Teen”

“Bluegrass and Hotwing Night at the Starship Casino”

“SilverHawks” was an American animated television series developed by Rankin/Bass Productions.  Lorimar-Telepictures provided the distribution for TV syndication and the Japanese studio, Pacific Animation Corporation, produced the animation.  Rankin/Bass created “SilverHawks” as a space-based equivalent of its earlier animated series, ThunderCats (1985-86).

“SilverHawks” was set in the galaxy of “Limbo.”  It focused on the bionic space enforcer, Commander Stargazer, and his recruits, “the SilverHawks,” heroes who were “partly metal, partly real.”  They fought the evil Mon*Star, an escaped alien crime boss.  He could transform into an enormous armor-plated creature with the help of Moonstar, a “solid star” in Limbo.

The “SilverHawks” property now belongs to Warner Bros. Discovery, and Dynamite Entertainment has a license to produce comic books based on many WBD properties.  Dynamite is launching a SilverHawks comic book series, SilverHawks, Volume One.  It is written by Ed Brisson; drawn by George Kambadais; colored by Ellie Wright; and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry.

SilverHawks Volume 1 #2 (“Bluegrass and Hotwing Night at the Starship Casino”) opens beyond the edge of the Limbo Galaxy, aboard the “Starship Casino.”  There, the rock 'n' roll duo of “Bluegrass” and “Melodia,” a.k.a. “Electric Sky,” are about to perform.

Meanwhile, at “Hawk Haven” within the Limbo Galaxy, Lt. Jonathan Quick of the Interplanetary Force B (IFB) has discovered that he is no longer quite himself.  In the wake of the attack on the IFB by the notorious smuggler, “Hardware,” what's next for Quick?

What do these two dramas have in common?  One features a man about to begin his “Silverhawks” training.  The other features a man who is about to discover that his dreams of rock 'n' roll fame have not diminished his ability to discern right from wrong.

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  SilverHawks, Volume One: Issue Two is the first SilverHawks comic book that I've read.

I was pleasantly surprised by Dynamite's Gargoyles #1.  I had never watched the television series, but the first issue produced by writer Ed Brisson and artist George Kambadais made me want to finally discover the TV show.  In the riveting first issue of the new SilverHawks series, Brisson deftly brought together the past and present, expertly tying them together to create what is likely the series' central conflict.  With this second issue, Brisson begins to bring together the next era of heroes.

Kambadais, who seems gifted when it comes to science fiction-fantasy comic books, continues to make this series crackle from page to page with exciting action and engaging intrigue.  Still, he expertly begins the process of introducing the new players.  Ellie Wright's colors make the art shimmer and shake with the energy of a new beginning.  Jeff Eckleberry's lettering is always reliable in creating a rhythm for the narrative, and it does so here.

I expected very little from Silverhawks #1, but after two good issues, I expect a lot from the series.  This could be a really good comic book that is in for a long run.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Dynamite Entertainment's Warner Bros. comic book series and of “SilverHawks” will want to give SilverHawks, Volume One a try.

“Invasion of the Space Armada!”

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.

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 1, it is written by David Pepose; drawn by Jonathan Lau; colored by Andrew Dalhouse; and lettered by Taylor Esposito.  In the new series, twins Jan and Jace Keplar and their pet monkey, Blip, meet that legendary cosmic vigilante known as “the Space Ghost.”

Space Ghost Volume One #9 (“Invasion of the Space Armada!”) opens on Cetia-7, the Galactic Federation Homeworld.  Having defeated the Space Ghost, General Metallus has launched a full-scale invasion of Cetia-7.  When the planet falls, it will make the sound of an empire being born, an empire under the iron rule of Metallus.  Don't count your empires before they hatch, Metallus, because you can't keep a good hero down.

Meanwhile, Jan, Jace, and Blip continue their valiant effort.  Believing Space Ghost to be dead, the children and their pet monkey are determined to save as many people as they can.  Can Space Ghost's young allies hold on until help arrives?

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 #9, Volume One is a recent issue that I have received.

Writer David Pepose has closed his two-part battle royale between Space Ghost and one of his most powerfully dangerous adversaries, Metallus, with enough power to light up a galactic homeworld.  Pepose is so good at this Space Ghost comic book writing thing that I am starting to believe that if Space Ghost has a canon, this comic book stands right behind the original 1966-67 TV series.

Artist Jonathan Lau art makes Pepose's powerful script into all-powerful comic book storytelling.  His art is textured and beautiful, dark and dangerous, and brings sexy back.  Nothing Lau does as an illustrator is ordinary; his art leaps off the page and dazzles my imagination.  It makes you believe that this is the great battle for the survival of the Galactic Federation ever.

Andrew Dalhouse's lovely colors bring new meaning to conflagration.  Intergalactic planetary destruction usually only looks this good in movies with the help of CGI.  Letterer Taylor Esposito goes symphonic with his fonts.  I can feel the sound his lettering imparts.

I'm having a blast reading Space Ghost Volume One, dear readers.  I am running out of words to praise this, but I won't run out of desire to read it.

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