The new Space Ghost comic series from David Pepose and Jonathan Lau and published by Dynamite has been fantastic but how long it’d run has been a big question. Thankfully, the quality continues with a second volume kicking off in July from the team. This new first issue follows an annual being released in June.
The Guardian of the Spaceways is back, welcoming continuing readers and inviting new ones to hop right back on with a fresh tale and interwoven recaps. Superfan turned chronicler David Pepose is bringing more evil-thwarting action and excitement. Virtuoso veteran artist Jonathan Lau is ready to unleash his kinetic artwork bringing these new scripts to the page. Together, with the rest of the creative team including colorist Andrew Dalhouse and letterer Taylor Esposito, they’re bringing more from a run that critics and fans have proclaimed to be a seamless blend of the iconic original animation’s spirit and modern superhero and action comics sensibilities.
This new jumping-on point kicks off with the first appearance in the series of a classic villain. Space Ghost and Blip find themselves on a planet themed all around amusement parks that has been taken over by the maniacal Toymaker, with a high stakes hostage crisis at hand. Meanwhile, Jan and Jace are confronted by a mysterious figure from their past that will shake the Ghost Planet team to their core.
Pepose and company have largely packed each and every issue with a complete epic, while continuing subplots, turning to larger arcs when ramping things up even more, to give fans what they want! August’s second issue brings in another exciting character with Space Ghost’s notorious old flame the Eclipse Woman. When her energy-bending crime spree crosses paths with ruthless crime lord Boss Parko, Space Ghost and the twins get drawn into a deadly orbit.
This new series features galactically-inspired covers from superstars Francesco Mattina, Jae Lee and June Chung, Bjorn Barends, Michael Cho, and an incredible surprise piece from the legend Alex Ross!
