Dynamite Entertainment – Space Ghost vol 2 11 review

Space Ghost vol 2 11 marks the exciting second chapter of this time spanning-arc with Team Space Ghost lost in the past and the present after their initial encounter with Tempus.

Jan & Jace are in the past while Space Ghost & Blip are in the future. Tempus has dispatched his Time Tyrants to bring Space Ghost back alive in order to absorb temporal anomalies (i.e. the multiverse’s Space Ghost) and harness their powers to activate his Time Shredder. That device will allow Tempus to be able to manipulate time how he desires.

The Sorceress, Toymaker, Tarko and Barbos — four villains the team faced separately — are sent to Earth 68 million years in the past in search of Space Ghost. On Cetia-7, 30 years in the future, Jan & Jace are with Space Spectre who is giving them a reality check based on his experiences in the future as the older Jace. Or at least that was the case before Tempus started meddling with time.

Writer David Pepose keeps the fun rolling in Space Ghost vol 2 11 crafting another engaging balance of storylines. While Space Spectre is dark and broody, his Batman-skewing persona is offset by Jan and Jace, who are far more hopeful about life than Space Spectre. Before he betrayed him, Tempus helped Space Spectre avenge some wrongs in his timeline. Now that he’s been abandoned in Certia, he couldn’t battle the Legion of Rock Robots on his own. With the twins assisting him, Space Spectre might actually have a chance now.

Things initially start off promising for the time displaced heroes, but the Time Tyrants are a formidable force. Pepose always does a fantastic job of building credible villains up over the course of an issue and still letting Space Ghost and company defeat them without making the bad guys look incompetent. That savvy treatment of the villains pays off even in an issue like Space Ghost vol 2 11 as Pepose still makes the bad guys a menacing threat even if they have to get defeated in a fraction of the time.

Pepose also makes sure to deliver plenty of personality in the villains from Barbos’ drone talking in a pirate-style dialect and Tarko being a more respectful opponent based on his last encounter with Space Ghost.

Artist Jonathan Lau gets plenty of exciting action sequences to tackle in Space Ghost vol 2 11. Space Ghost and Blip’s battles with the Time Tyrants are probably the most fun thanks to the various environments in this prehistoric setting. Lau gets creative with the battlegrounds for the various fights and how he showcases Space Ghost’s abilities.

Colorist Andrew Dalhouse brings a wide array of vibrant colors into the mix while continuing to stay mindful of the need to create a sharp contrast for SG, Jan and Jace’s costumes. For the twins, Space Spectre’s darker color scheme makes for an easy visual distinction from his temporary sidekicks.

Letterer Taylor Esposito has several different species to tackle and incorporates a solid blend of fonts for the characters as well as the usual engaging sound effect fonts.

Space Ghost vol 2 11 arrives with the slight risk of sounding like a broken record. This series has been outstanding, never failing to deliver on its creative team’s promise to provide one of the best reads every month. The praise might feel repetitive, but reading this series hardly feels stale.

Rating: 10 out of 10
