Space Ghost (New Edition)

WARNING, THIS REVIEW DOES CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS. While only recently discovering Space Ghost I am a big fan, his costume, abilities, and voice have forced me to be. This isn't for the Coast to coast fans out there, or the Brak show fans, this is for fans of the old 60s and 80s character(he was a character in space stars during the eighties). While this book doesn't show much of Space Ghosts personality (a problem other reviewers had), it wasn't a bad thing, because in reality, it was showing how he got that way, sure he's broody and dark for the majority of the comic, but in the end he was starting to warm up, even getting friendly to the kids, Jan and Jace (he wasn't mean to Blip because Blip never showed up). All in all, I found this to be an amazing comic with beautiful art and great storytelling. The inner conflict, the drama, the action, the pain the Space Ghost goes through to get revenge and serve justice. Well worth the coin, I recommend this wholeheartedly to any fan of Superheroes, revenge stories, or Science Fiction.

It makes Space ghost a serious superhero again. The Art is well done in my belief. The story I found to be good if not predicable. Still, I enjoyed this book and if you're a fan of space ghost it may be worth a read.

Great origin tale was a lot darker than I would’ve imagined, but hey this is DC comics right! Loved the artwork, this book left me wanting more I do hope they incorporate another installment. This is a great addition to your TPB collection!

When I saw that DC had acquired the Space Ghost franchise I was elated. I grew up with these characters and they are just too damned good to slip in obscurity. I sincerely hope DC begins to make animated movies with live action in the not to distant future. All the characters, hero and villain alike, were well thought out by Alex Toth even if 60's animation couldn't do it proper justice.

Brilliantly written and beautifully drawn. I hated it ended. Honestly I would love a follow up series. One of the best "Origin" stories I've ever read. Loved it.

As someone with basically no knowledge of Space Ghost, I went into this with only a little bit of positive word of mouth and some interesting looking screenshots, and found a fantastic origin story for a pulpy sci-fi hero and some truly gorgeous artwork that really elevated Joe Kelly's already very solid writing. Definitely recommended if you like a good, simple, but very satisfying superhero origin story. Looks like I should go check out that old cartoon.

The origin of one of the most beloved Saturday morning cartoon heros in comic book form! I have been a fan of Space Ghost for just about a long as I can remember and I have the say the writing team at DC comics did a fantastic job with the origin of Space Ghost! I would say more but that would be spoiling the story. Guess you'll just have to get a copy for yourselves. But once again thanks for reading and have a nice day!

This is not your campy Space Ghost, but a down and gritty grown up story. Love, Revenge, followed by regret, and acceptance. This left me wanting more. Awesome detailed art and story line. I really hope this story line continues.

A great origin story of a hero I used to watch on television in my childhood.

It was a waste of my time. The best part are the covers made by Alex Ross. Super hard to read it and the drawings are super without agility

Estamos ante el origen del fantasma del espacio, aunque a primera vista pudiera parecerlo está claro que este no es un prólogo de la historia del fantasma del espacio visto en future quest ya que pareciera contradecirse con su motivación y origen de sus poderes, al final del tomo pareciera que veremos un tomo 2 pero por desgracia creo que hasta la fecha no se ha anunciado. Lo malo de este volumen es que sufre del problema que veo en casi cualquier tpb pasta suave en inglés que he comprado por este medio. Su primera y última página se despega del resto del cómic dando la impresión de que se va a deshojar. Tengo la impresión de que esto ocurre ya que por el tipo de portada esta se llega a abrir un poco más debido a la rigidez de la misma y no se curva como el resto de las hojas de interiores, la primera y última hoja al estar pegadas a la pasta llegan a ser arrastradas con esta haciendo que se abra de más pero al mismo tiempo evitando que se deshoje, he visto que esto se puede evitar con un empastado como los del título Descender de Jeff Lemire que está publicando editorial océano en mi país haciendo que la pasta se doble un poco más arriba del lomo evitando que se abra de más, claro habría que ver la manera de que así no se pierds el contenido que se ubica en la parte central del cómic sobre todo en las viñetas que abarcan 2 páginas y que las portadas no se dañen por ese tipo de doblez.

Nostalgico.....sopratutto per chi ricorda le vecchie puntate degli anni 95'.Spiega le origini di questo eroe travagliato, e lo fa in modo convincente e con un'arte solida dalle curve morbide e le tonalità sfumate (Ariel Olivetti e Alex Ross hanno creato un piccolo capolavoro).Il fumetto è stand-alone, ergo chi lo acquista può farlo senza timore di dover poi spendere ulteriormente per altri numeri e, considerato il livello della trama (pur nella sua brevità), direi che lo consiglio vivamente.

Good book
