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.
