In an effort to stop the perpetual feuding between the Crystalline Empire and the Kingdom of the Space Sharks, Space Ghost and the twins are guarding a summit between the two powers — only to have it derailed by a mysterious assassination attempt. With interplanetary war now looming, can the team track down the culprits in time to pull everyone back from the brink of annihilation?

Find out in the most world-shaking issue of DAVID PEPOSE and JONATHAN LAU’s Space Ghost yet — featuring appealingly apocalyptic covers from FRANCESCO MATTINA, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, MICHAEL CHO, and BJORN BARENDS

Score:

★★★★★ (5/5)

In the latest pulse-pounding issue of Space Ghost, the team finds themselves caught in the crossfire of an intergalactic grudge match that’s raged for centuries. With Jace in grave danger and the threat of war looming once again, it’s up to Jan and Dax to save their friend, capture a deadly assassin, and somehow restore peace before the galaxy erupts in chaos.

One of the standout qualities of David Pepose’s writing is the relentless pace with which he propels the story forward. The moment the central conflict is revealed, the action ignites — and it doesn’t let up. Every issue feels like a race against time as the heroes scramble to defuse crises, protect one another, and overcome impossible odds. Pepose’s storytelling thrives on momentum, tension, and teamwork, delivering a modern sci-fi adventure that channels the heart of classic serials — complete with pulse-stopping cliffhangers that leave readers breathless for the next installment.

Paired with the phenomenal visuals from Jonathan Lau and Andrew Dalhouse, Space Ghost soars. Lau’s dynamic linework captures both the intensity of battle and the grace of heroism, while Dalhouse’s colors burst off the page with luminous energy, crafting a galaxy teeming with danger and wonder. Space Ghost himself is rendered with the commanding presence of a true cosmic powerhouse — the kind of hero you can’t look away from.

Space Ghost continues to stand out as one of the most consistently thrilling titles of the year, and issue #4 is no exception. It’s bold, cinematic, and unapologetically fun — a reminder of why we fall in love with comics in the first place.
