Barbaric: Born in Blood #1 (Vault Comics) – The series has always been a hell of a lot of fun mixing fantasy, action, and humor for some solid entertainment.

Space Ghost #1

writer: David Pepose
artist: Jonathan Lau
covers: Francesco Mattina (A), Jae Lee & June Chung (B), Bjorn Barends (C), Michael Cho (D)
FC | All Cardstock Covers | 32 pages | Adventure | $4.99 | Teen

Greed and corruption flourish in the darkness between stars. With the territories of the Galactic Federation spread far and wide across the vastness of space, pirates and hijackers ransack the distant colonies with cruel disregard for the innocent scientists living within them.

Yet there is a cosmic vigilante who metes out justice throughout the galaxy, bringing vengeance to those who prey upon the defenseless.

Some say he is a policeman who has abandoned the strictures of the law. Others say he is a phantom, the sole survivor of a war-torn planet. And those who have survived his wrath claim he is more a force of nature, able to bend the very elements of Creation to decimate his enemies.

They call him the SPACE GHOST — and his adventures begin here!

Award-winning writer DAVID PEPOSE (Punisher) and superstar artist JONATHAN LAU (Vampirella Strikes) kick off this action-packed series with a surprise attack on Space Colony Omicron — home of the brilliant scientist Dr. Jerrod Keplar and his young children, Jan and Jace, as well as their pet monkey, Blip. With the colony’s defenses overwhelmed, all seems lost — but these ruthless pirates didn’t count on the wild card that is Space Ghost!

This debut issue also includes covers from some of the finest artists in the known universe — including FRANCESCO MATTINA, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, BJORN BARENDS, and MICHAEL CHO!

The legendary guardian of the spaceways returns to comics this May, as Dynamite, Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, and a heavy-hitting creative team led by David Pepose and Jonathan Lau present a new era for the hero Space Ghost!

Greed and corruption flourish in the darkness between stars. The Galactic Federation’s territories are spread across the cosmos, far and wide in the vastness of space. At the scale of the cosmic landscape, pirates, hijackers and other nefarious actors are able to slip stealthily through the pitch black, ransacking distant colonies with cruel disregard for the innocent scientists that inhabit them. They’ve often been able to get away with impunity. Yet a powerful force is set to put a stop to this, a cosmic vigilante who metes out justice throughout the known galaxy, bringing vengeance to those who prey upon the defenseless.

Evil cannot hide from the gaze of Space Ghost!

We sit down and chat with David Pepose, the writer of the new series! To say we’re excited is an understatement. Don’t miss out on this. Make sure to pre-order it from your local comic shop!

Evil cannot hide from the gaze of Space Ghost!

His true origins and motivations are unknown to many. Some claim he is a policeman who abandoned the rigidity of the law. Others contend he must be the sole survivor of a war-torn planet. Or a phantom with no story. Those who have survived his wrath live to tell he is a force of nature, able to bend the very elements of creation to deal with his foes.

The team invites fans for the kickoff — a surprise attack on Space Colony Omicron, home of brilliant scientist Dr. Jerrod Keplar, his young children Jan and Jace, as well as their monkey Blip. Only the wild card of Space Ghost will be able to save them from the ruthless pirates!

The series includes a diverse range of beautiful covers by the finest artists in the known universe, including Francesco Mattina, Jae Lee, Bjorn Barends, and Michael Cho.

Space Ghost debuted as a beloved cartoon from Hanna-Barbera in the 1960s, designed by visionary artist Alex Toth. The character has been presented in several unique ways beloved by fans across animation, comic books, and beyond — and the next chapter is here!

The Ghost Rises in May 2024. Space Ghost returns courtesy of writer David Pepose with art by Jonathan Lau. The Warner Bros. property is the latest series to land at Dynamite who in 2023 made some big announcements with comics from Disney and Warner Bros. The tease of Space Ghost’s return was in the debut issue of ThunderCats by Declan Shalvey and Drew Moss.

Space Ghost debuted in 1966 from Hanna-Barbera voiced by Gary Owens and designed by Alex Toth. The hero was very much a sci-fi adventure with Space Ghost flying around blasting villains with his power bands and becoming invisible. Since then, the character has had some revivals becoming a talk show host with Space Ghost Coast to Coast and most recently appeared in comics published by DC including his own series in 2005, in Future Quest in 2016, and teaming up with Green Lantern in 2017.

We’ll have more information when an official announcement is released by Dynamite.

NYCC 2023: Thundercats ho! Dynamite lands Thundercats, Space Ghost, The Flintstones, Jonny Quest, and more as they team with Warner Bros. Discovery!

Dynamite and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products are partnering to release a range of comic books and graphic novels inspired by some of WBD’s favorite franchises and characters. Projected to start publishing early in 2024 with the first title ThunderCats by Declan Shalvey launching in February. Fans can look forward to a diverse range of stories featuring top tier writers, and gorgeous art! Some of those beloved characters have never had their own comic or graphic novel before.

The initial slate of titles planned to be released across multiple formats include titles that fans of many generations will recognize and be excited to spend time with in comics. Comics fans new and old can get excited for stories featuring ThunderCats, The Flintstones, The Powerpuff Girls, Space Ghost, Jonny Quest, The Wizard of Oz, We Bare Bears, with more to come! The stories will be released in a range of formats and avenues, across the applicable franchises.

First up this February is the almighty ThunderCats! Superstar creators Declan Shalvey, Drew Moss, and letterer Jeff Eckleberry are set to helm and revitalize the franchise for comic books starting this February.

This new series aims to be a refreshing yet timeless take on the classic mythos and characters, pulling from Shalvey’s ability to weave complex narratives alongside the striking visuals from Moss. The initial storyline is currently planned to delve into the earliest days on Third Earth, the world that the ThunderCats are forced to survive on after escaping their original home. With an origin approach in part, the title will explore untold histories and new challenges for Lion-O, Cheetara, and the rest of the group.

Shalvey will dig deeper into the iconic character relationships and push further on the science fiction underpinnings, while Moss is set to portray the wondrous environments of Third Earth and the visually engaging action set pieces. With Lion-O at the center, following his journey toward becoming a worthy leader, the team will work together, combining their diverse talents, attitudes and learning about the magical power of the Eye of Thundera. But will they be able to accomplish these goals and growth, with Mumm-Ra the Ever-Living’s eyes set on them? With the franchise’s trademark blend of action, drama, and touches of science fiction, fans will not want to miss this all-new approach.

Check out the covers by Shalvey and Lucio Parrillo!
