'Space Ghost' is the most thoroughly exciting space adventure of the year. Pepose blends nostalgia with daring heroics that are sweeping and compelling in the same way vintage sci-fi serials were in the 50s but supercharged for modern times.

'Space Ghost' #5 continues the reboot's run of fun, action-packed sci-fi adventures. Unfortunately, this chapter tries to do too much with just one issue. Still, David Pepose obviously has a great love for the characters and their relationships, even when those moments feel squeezed into this issue. Jonathan Lau's art is still the highlight, due to the awesome action sequences, even in a slightly weaker showing. Read Full Review

In the latest installment of Space Ghost, David Pepose and Jonathan Lau continue to propel this iconic character to new heights. The issue is an action-packed, nostalgia-fueled ride that will leave readers eagerly anticipating what comes next!

Pepose weaves together a satisfying conclusion to the high-stakes situation he set up in the previous issue. The highlight of the script is Space Ghost's battle against Zorak reaches a boiling point, with the fate of the galaxy hanging precariously in the balance, and Space Ghost is forced to make a major decision. Meanwhile, Jace, Jan, and Blip continue to be absolute stars in their own right. Pepose maintains a great balance of humor, heart, and high-stakes action in every issue. Some may have one of more than the other, but it’s an impressive feat to maintain a steady mix without veering too far into one corner.

Lau's artwork is simply phenomenal every issue. From the character designs to the sleek, retro-futuristic designs of the space technology, to the detail environments, every panel is a visual treat for the eyes. Lau's action sequences are equally impressive, with a keen sense of pacing and choreography that makes the battles feel intense and immersive. His depiction of the energy blasts throughout the battle are chef’s kiss. Andrew Dalhouse’s colors elevate it all with a beautiful palette of vibrant colors that bring each panel to life. He outdoes himself in the final few pages.

Space Ghost #5 is an absolute blast from start to finish. With its pacing, stunning artwork, and heartfelt character moments, this issue is a must-read. Don't miss out on this thrilling ride! more

They stuck the landing on thus arc. This series is becoming a modern classic. Theres nothing particularly deep or existential here.

The comic is just awesome lol. The book manages to make the narrative engaging; the action is exhilarating and the artwork is full for life. The ending is very interesting and takes on a challenge i hope they can deliver.

The bad guys feel old school, they arent complex with sympathetic backstorties, they are just bad, and must be stopped. But they still don't feel antiquated; or non threatening, they feel relevant and exciting to read.

This version of Zorak is the best villain they've introduced yet, and I hope this isn't the last we've seen of him. He's dangerous, dedicated, and surprisingly not completely delusional. Pepose is becoming one of my favorite writers, his team stuff just works and feels dynamic to keep you coming back.

I just had a blast reading the book. Im really glad I stuck around for the series and im in for however long its granted to run. I recommend more people go for it, so that we can continue to get this type of stuff. It stands out among the comic shelves, there's nothing you gotta follow to read; the arcs aren't too long, and the format of an old cartoon is retrofitted well. It's good comics. more
