SPACE GHOST #8 is a gritty, dramatic, over-the-top entry in the series that brings an old enemy back to send Space Ghost on a rage-fueled revenge quest. David Pepose's script practically explodes with power, and Jonathan Lau's macho art is inspiring. Read Full Review

Space Ghost #8 continues the trend from this series of always upping the ante. David Pepose doubles down on the suspense and the threat for our favorite galactic hero. We have thought Space Ghost was doomed before, but this time the threat feels more real than ever. Read Full Review
Lau pulls out all the stops with the art in this issue. The imagery perfectly captures the thrills and suspense the story creates and the tension of the Metallus/Space Ghost fight was visually stunning. Read Full Review
Just when you think Space Ghost can't endure more pain, both physically and mentally, Pepose finds new ways to put him through the wringer. This time, the past and present collide to thrust Space Ghost into his greatest conflict thus far. Combining the drama of science fiction film serials and the action of the animated series, Pepose and company have found the right formula for one of the year's best titles. Read Full Review
The origin of Space Ghost is framed with a very clever eye towards contrasting two different visions of justice. Pepose seems to be lining everything up for a much deeper exploration of the nature of justice, revenge and quite a lot more that MIGHT run the risk of overcoming the cheesy, fun space adventure energy of the character. Pepose seems ot have a remarkably clever handle on he overall action of the situation, though. The story seems to be in pretty good hands moving forward. Read Full Review
Every issue of Space Ghost is an exciting combination of superheroes and science fiction. Along the way the series has delivered strong character moments, but almost all of them focused on the characters surrounding Space Ghost. Thanks to an exciting fight, that lens of character development is turned on Space Ghost himself, making Space Ghost #8 a great issue thats truly about Space Ghost. Read Full Review
With a simple, somewhat predictable plot, Space Ghost #8 may not be the best issue in the series so far, but it again displays just how consistently well-made and entertaining this book can be. The best part is once again Jonathan Lau's art especially during the many stellar action sequences. But Taylor Esposito's lettering also stood out in this issue. Here's hoping the creative team can stick together for a much longer run. Read Full Review
Plot
This comic begins in the past with the last minutes of life of Space Ghost's family, who was a scientist who had created his powerful bracelets. This tragedy was the origin of Space Ghost's thirst for justice and revenge.
In the present Space Ghost, Jan, Jace and Blip arrive at a call for help, where the fearsome GENERAL METALLUS is attacking a fleet of peaceful merchants, Space Ghost explodes with rage because Metallus was responsible for the death of his family.
They both fight and are transported to another place, Jan and Jace do not know where they both went and look for the information in the head of a Metallus killer robot.
On the other side of the Galaxy Space Ghost fights Metallus, but his more
This is as close to a perfect issue as you can get. Pepose was able to take an old, cheesy character and make him fresh and a bold, badass. Even with two kids and a monkey as support characters, the stories work. This is a great beginning to a new arc. I love the villain and the personal connection Space Ghost has to him. Let's get a movie going.
