    Nerd Initiative - Mickey Smith Aug 7, 2024

    This issue was a certified banger and I can't wait to see the final showdown between SG and Zorak. Pepose creates a rich and deep history for this world in only a finite amount of space. His understanding of this world and its lore shows and he passes that passion on to the reader. The art team takes that passion on puts it to the page in every single panel. The colors are vibrant and playful while not risking too much of the seriousness of the settings. High marks all the way around! Read Full Review

    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Aug 7, 2024

    Pepose has largely kept stories to one issue so this cliffhanger ending feels earned and gives the story added gravitas. The series keeps rolling and is remains a must-read for those seeking a fun space adventure. Read Full Review

    SPACE GHOST #4 is one of the best issues yet. Writer David Pepose crafts a story that makes longtime Space Ghost villain Zorak into a credible and intimidating threat, while Jonathan Lau's battle art looks fantastic. If Dynamite can maintain this level of action and excitement, Space ghost will be around for a long time. Read Full Review

    The Comicbook Dispatch - batfan1992 Aug 7, 2024

    Space Ghost #4 is an exciting story that reimagines Zorak in a compelling way and leaves it on a cliffhanger rather than wrapping it up easily, leaving readers hungry for more. There is also only a small tease of Space Ghosts previous battles with Zorak, so it would be interesting to know how Zorak first came in contact with Space Ghost and if any new information will be revealed about him next issue. Space Ghost and Zorak clearly have a long history and it definitely seems necessary to give us more information about these versions of the characters. What do you think will happen next? How will Jan and Jace escape from Zoraks clutches? Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Aug 7, 2024

    Everything seems to be moving in the right direction for the fourth issue with the series. It's very difficult to bring a truly sweeping adventure to the page with this sort of property. It wasn't even really taken all that seriously when it was originally presented on TV. So bring it to the page and wave that feels like it's actually taking the fantasy and the adventure and the menace of the villain seriously is quite an accomplishment. Read Full Review

    Featuring big-time action and raised stakes that are bolstered by the time we've spent with Jan, Jace, and Space Ghost, this is the best issue of the relaunch so far. Read Full Review

    Drawing from the cartoon and invoking a sense of danger and cliffhanging stakes from classic sci-fi serials, 'Space Ghost' continues to take readers on an adventure month after month that can't be missed.  Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Canham Aug 6, 2024

    'Space Ghost' continues to be one of the most consistently entertaining comics on the stands right now. In 'Space Ghost' #4, I was most impressed with the excellent artwork by artist Jonathan Lau and colorist Andrew Dalhouse. Furthermore, David Pepose writes action-packed adventures with just enough character and heart to remind you of the best classic cartoons, but a little more grown up this time. Read Full Review

    This installment easily feels like the most fast-paced entry in this series, which makes the adventure breeze by but at the cost of feeling chaotic. Read Full Review

    One of the best parts of this series is it helps Space ghost escape the pea-brained nincompoop image Coast to Coast gave him. This issue also helps give a new take on Zorak, hose image was also greatly tarnished in that show. Pepose did a splendid job giving him this image as an actual badass villain. One Space Ghost insisted the kids not confront. It's like how Batman didn't want Tim Drake taking on the Joker in his rookie days.
    I also enjoyed the battle with Titanor. Space Ghost's rogues gallery has also been portrayed splendidly so far. I'm already in anticipation for Moltar, who is still 2 issues away. I truly get the feeling here that I used to get when I'd look to see what adventure and foe awaited Batman in the next issue when I more

    Plot
    Zorak, the psychopath and fanatic leader of the Lokar cult, escapes from prison and Space Ghost warns Jan and Jace to stay on the Ghost Planet while he heads to an old lair to see if he can get a lead.

    Loke is a being who lives in another dimension and who Zorak wants to bring to our reality and destroy it.

    Space Ghost falls into a trap and faces the Titanor robot, which Zorak left there to attack him. The battle is epic and large-scale.

    Jan, Jace and Blip receive a call for help from the planet GRAX-3 where a Hadron Collider has been taken over by someone. This trio of helpers heads to the site disobeying Space Ghost's order.

    On Grax-3, Jan, Jace and Blip are caught by Zorak. Now he ask more

    I agree with everyone's review that this the best issue of the series thus far. We have Space Ghost fighting Titanor and getting his butt kicked for the majority of the issue. Then We have the kids getting kidnapped, but the real star of the show was Zorak. Pepose did a good job of making him into a viable threat.

    We finally meet Zorak in this issue and ww are quickly shown why he's most prominent among Space Ghosts foes

    This rendition of Zorak is terrifying and sinister in the best way. Revamped as the leader of a sadistic alien death cult his introduction and presence carries a lot of weight, but hes shown to be calculating and cunning in addition to his might. His design here is awesome and easily recognizable while fitting with the environment the art style has carried so far.

    Space Ghost himself gets a pretty epic showing, and Jan and Jace continue to have agency in the story as sidekicks although their B plot is weaker than the main.

    This series remains better than anyone was expecting it to be.

    One of the standout aspects of this series is Pepose's approach to storytelling. Each issue has its own individual episodic arc, yet they all build towards a larger, overarching plot. This issue is no exception, as we're finally introduced to the sinister villain Zorak, who makes an immediate impact on the story and sets up a major conflict that will play out between him and Space Ghost. I'm excited to see how Pepose continues to build this world now that Zorak has been introduced as a major antagonist.

    The art by Jonathan Lau and colors by Andrew Dalhouse are another highlight of the issue. Lau's use of different panel styles keeps pages fresh, and his action sequences have a kinetic energy that's perfect for a space opera. A st more
