Greed and corruption flourish in the darkness between stars. With the territories of the Galactic Federation spread far and wide across the vastness of space, pirates and hijackers ransack the distant colonies with cruel disregard for the innocent scientists living within them.
Yet there is a cosmic vigilante who metes out justice throughout the galaxy, bringing vengeance to those prey upon the defenseless.
Some say he is a policeman who has abandoned the strictures of the law. Others say he is a phantom, the sole survivor of a war-torn planet. And those who have survived his wrath claim he is more a force of nature, able to more

Space Ghost was better than we even expected and we expected a lot. The debut issue hits all the right marks with outstanding writing from David Pepose, beautiful lines by Jonathan Lau, vivid colors by Andrew Dalhouse and wonderful lettering by Taylor Espsito. Read Full Review
Overall, Space Ghost #1 proves to be an excellent issue. Although they took it in a more serious direction from the more lighthearted cartoon its based it, it is clear that the writer and artists are honoring the cartoon, as opposed to mocking it. Fans of the Space Ghost cartoon who are interested in a more gritty take on the character with more serious plotlines will love this story. Its packed with action and emotional depth, just in the first issue, so that is hopefully a good indication of what future issues will offer. What might Space Ghost and his newfound allies have to contend with next issue? Read Full Review

Space Ghost #1 is a really good start to the series. It's a fast, decently paced read that begins in a place it hadn't before. And it provides a decent amount of action, which helps with the pacing. I look forward to issue #2. Read Full Review
Space Ghost #1 is a debut that feels much more like a sci-fi Batman as our hero is glimpsed almost like a ghost than man. Pepose also makes him fallible, giving us moments where he falters a bit and we don't know how exactly he'll get out of the situation. It makes for a much more grounded start and one that teases and promises a hell of a series. This is how you take a thin property and expand the world while also honoring its past. Read Full Review
As far as first issues go,Space Ghost#1 checks all the right boxes to compel readers to want to return for the next installment. Exciting and tense, with characters worth rooting for, this is a star trek you'll want to take! Read Full Review
I'm all in on Dynamite's Space Ghost. Writer David Pepose has struck gold in turning the character in to a vigilante to be explored and discovered. Whilst artist Jonathan Lau brings an epic sci-fi scope and scale to the visuals. Read Full Review
'Space Ghost' #1 is an action-packed reboot of the classic cartoon character with cool art buoyed by great coloring. It's better than most comics on the shelf, but also doesn't feel much different than any other sci-fi action-adventure. Read Full Review
There's no winking at the audience here, which might come as a surprise to fans of Space Ghost's '90s talk show, but for those who are unfamiliar with the character or who were looking to see the character go back to his roots, this new Space Ghost title is everything you've been asking for, and while this storytelling sensibility might not sustain itself in the long-run, its earnestness is refreshing to see in a world dominated by sarcastic comic titles.

This is a straight forward, solid adaptation of the classic Space Ghost show into a modern comic book. It's a fun, action-packed comic that does a good job establishing the core parts of the comic with a good tone of voice, but it doesn't really think outside the box, which I feel is important to really sell a new comic in this day and age.

Plot
This first comic begins with the brutal attack on the planet Omicron by pirates led by Brak, who are searching for a new technology created by Dr. Jerrod Keplar.
Keplar's children, Jan and Jace, accompanied by the ape mascot Blip, try to escape from these attackers, but when they lose hope of saving themselves, SPACE GHOST appears, who, using the technology of his bracelets, easily defeats them.
But even Space Ghost is going to need help to repel this invasion, help that Jan and Jace are willing to provide.
The action sequences are intense and show how powerful this character is.
Exciting first chapter that does not focus on revealing the origin of this vigilante, which is a mix between more
Beautiful first issue. I was largely unfamiliar with the character but Pepose brings us up to speed effortlessly. More of this please.
As a kid of the 90’s, my first (& only) exposure to Space Ghost was through the Cartoon Network series Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. My parents told me that it was a far cry from the Space Ghost they grew up with, but I was never introduced further to the character they remembered. So I was super excited to see the character getting a new series from Dynamite which would pay homage to the classic Hannah-Barbera version of Space Ghost I had heard so much about. I was also pumped to hear David Pepose was attached to it, as I loved his recent Punisher miniseries at Marvel.
This first issue exceeded my expectations in every way possible, packing it’s 20+ pages with action, intrigue, suspense, & heart. Pepose's was a perfect choice more
This was better than it had any right to be. Really liked the art, the action and the paneling here. Feels very old school but also modern, which is exactly what this book should go for.
The art looks drawn traditionally and they update some of the designs to fit a more "realistic" and serious approach to the character but again it feels recognizable.
The story is simple and straightforward but sets up room for expansion and many adventures. Wish this was longer.
Another IP that hasn't gotten any love in a while coming out as a comic and doing a damn decent job of entertaining me. The art is great and the story makes sense with a better plot and dialogue than I would have ever expected. Good stuff.
An incredibly safe start for Space Ghost. It seems like this is all Space Ghost really needs, as I've seen a lot of people go, 'Oh, look, it's Space Ghost!' and pick it up immediately. It's interesting how many people easily forget about Space Ghost and how they seem to have only fond memories of him once something jolts their memories. Don't let the 6 rating fool you. The team behind this one delivers a solid comic book experience. The artwork is good, and the writing is OK. The issue introduces our caped hero, Jan, Jace, Blip, and a small cast of familiar villains. But it is so very, very safe, with SG saving the kids in a milquetoast and unabashed, by the numbers manner. The writing goes smoothly but automatically and very much uninspire more
Awful first issue that only sets up the characters through heavy-handed exposition and does nothing to show readers why they should care about this book - Devid Pepose is a hack that will disappear soon and never be heard from again
