Space Ghost

Space Ghost #1

Relaunching the series with a new volume but keeping the same creative team for no real reason (who does Dynamite Entertainment think they are, Marvel?), Space Ghost #1 gives us the Toymaker‘s attack on Playtopia Prime turning the amusement park into a death trap and threatening the lives of all the hostages. Intercut with the comic’s B-story, we get a lot of hero and and villain wisecracking to each other as Space Ghost challenges the Toymaker to a game where, thanks to the help of Blip, he wins.

Space Ghost #9

Space Ghost #9 wraps up the Metallus arc with a battered, but not yet beaten, Space Ghost with Metallus while Jan, Jace, and Blip  take on the ships and robotic minions threatening to destroy yet another world. Rewriting Space Ghost’s history to make Metallus responsible for the death of Space Ghost’s own world and family (thus creating the spacegoing vigilante) ups the stakes in the issue (even if the tease of our  hero contemplating taking the villain’s life isn’t solid in a way for it to be possible to take seriously).

As Jace struggles with recent events, and the death caused by his hands, Space Ghost, Jan, and Blip continue to fight the good fight on their own as the comic introduces another classic Space Ghost villain in a single-issue story. Space Ghost #6 gives us Moltar whose backstory is beefed up making him a deranged scientist out for revenge and working with Robo Corp against those he blames for his disfigurement and the loss of his family. Oh, and he really doesn’t like Space Ghost.

It turns out the crazed bug’s mad prophecy was true. Thankfully, Space Ghost overloading the collider doesn’t destroy the universe, but it does rip a hole to another reality revealing Zorak’s god to be quite real and give him a door to send through his minions.
