“Invasion of the Space Armada!”

Space Ghost is a superhero character created by the American animation studio and production company, Hanna-Barbera Productions.  The character first appeared in the Saturday morning cartoon series, “Space Ghost,” which was originally broadcast on CBS from September 1966 to September 1967 for 20 episodes.

In his original incarnation, Space Ghost was a superhero whose base of operations was a small world known as “Ghost Planet.”  He fought super-villains in outer space with his teen sidekicks, Jan and Jace, and their monkey, Blip.  His main weapons were power bands he wore around his wrists and lower arms; the bands fired off multiple energy beam-based attacks, including heat, cold, and force, to name a few.  Space Ghost could also fly, survive in space, and turn invisible (his “Inviso Power”).  He also had a space ship known as “the Phantom Cruiser.”

Space Ghost sporadically appeared in various comic book publications over a fifty year period.  Dynamite Entertainment has just launched a new Space Ghost comic book as part of its licensing agreement with Warner Bros.  Entitled Space Ghost Volume 1, it is written by David Pepose; drawn by Jonathan Lau; colored by Andrew Dalhouse; and lettered by Taylor Esposito.  In the new series, twins Jan and Jace Keplar and their pet monkey, Blip, meet that legendary cosmic vigilante known as “the Space Ghost.”

Space Ghost Volume One #9 (“Invasion of the Space Armada!”) opens on Cetia-7, the Galactic Federation Homeworld.  Having defeated the Space Ghost, General Metallus has launched a full-scale invasion of Cetia-7.  When the planet falls, it will make the sound of an empire being born, an empire under the iron rule of Metallus.  Don't count your empires before they hatch, Metallus, because you can't keep a good hero down.

Meanwhile, Jan, Jace, and Blip continue their valiant effort.  Believing Space Ghost to be dead, the children and their pet monkey are determined to save as many people as they can.  Can Space Ghost's young allies hold on until help arrives?

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  Space Ghost #9, Volume One is a recent issue that I have received.

Writer David Pepose has closed his two-part battle royale between Space Ghost and one of his most powerfully dangerous adversaries, Metallus, with enough power to light up a galactic homeworld.  Pepose is so good at this Space Ghost comic book writing thing that I am starting to believe that if Space Ghost has a canon, this comic book stands right behind the original 1966-67 TV series.

Artist Jonathan Lau art makes Pepose's powerful script into all-powerful comic book storytelling.  His art is textured and beautiful, dark and dangerous, and brings sexy back.  Nothing Lau does as an illustrator is ordinary; his art leaps off the page and dazzles my imagination.  It makes you believe that this is the great battle for the survival of the Galactic Federation ever.

Andrew Dalhouse's lovely colors bring new meaning to conflagration.  Intergalactic planetary destruction usually only looks this good in movies with the help of CGI.  Letterer Taylor Esposito goes symphonic with his fonts.  I can feel the sound his lettering imparts.

I'm having a blast reading Space Ghost Volume One, dear readers.  I am running out of words to praise this, but I won't run out of desire to read it.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Dynamite Entertainment's Warner Bros. comic book series will want to read Space Ghost Volume One.

Comics Review: "SUPERGUY #1" is a Super-Duper Great Read

SUPERGUY #1

STORY: Anthony Iannaccio

SCRIPT: Anthony Iannaccio

ART: Joey Murphy

COLORS: Joey Murphy

LETTERS: Joey Murphy

COVER: Joey Murphy

VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Ahmed Raafat; Dominque Barlow; Billy Lahiff

28pp, Color, $10.00 U.S., $13.00 (variants); reward bundles

Superguy created by Anthony Iannaccio and Joey Murphy

“There Goes My Hero”

Superguy #1 is a new comic book from writer Anthony Iannaccio and artist Joey Murphy.  The series follows the adventures and misadventures of a self-absorbed superhero, who is usually in his underwear, and his earnest robot sidekick, who has a mysterious and likely dark past.  The story and script are by Iannaccio and the art, colors, and lettering are by Murphy.

Superguy #1 (“There Goes My Hero”) opens in Thebig City, specifically Thebig City Elementary School.  It was supposed to be the school's “Graduation Day,” but that has been canceled so that they can have “Superguy Day!”  Although the kids are excited to see Thebig City's favorite superhero, that superhero, the aforementioned Superguy, can't be bothered to show up on time.

Superguy can't even be bothered to do his job, so that's why his loyal sidekick, Robotguy, steps into the job and starts saving the day.  Eventually, however, that is going to rub a super-someone the wrong way.  Before long, there is a battle for the ages, and no one really understands how bad it will get or how many players are watching from the sidelines.

THE LOWDOWN:  Last year, Anthony Iannaccio sent me a PDF copy of a Superguy preview story that he and Joey Murphy produced.  Iannaccio also generously provided me with an advanced PDF copy of Superguy #1, which is the subject of a new Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.

I was really impressed by the Superguy preview I read last year.  It was the kind of comic book story that young'un Leroy would have flipped over.  I can say the same for Superguy #1, and I've been trying to figure out why that is so.

Perhaps, I think of Superguy as something that will appeal to comics readers, young and old, because it seems as much like a broadcast network animated television series as much as it is actually a comic book.  Superguy is sort of like Fox's long-running animated series, “The Simpsons,” combined with humor of Seth MacFarlane, another Fox animation mainstay, but without the more obviously adult content.  Superguy #1 is a humor comic book that does not downplay the superhero fantasy elements, and it is also a superhero comic book that does not temper the humor.  Perhaps, I see its potential for broad appeal in the fact that it broadly embraces more than one or two genres and subgenres.

Iannaccio and Murphy are a good team; they are like a seamless pairing that cannot go astray.  Iannaccio offers a suite of snappy comedy, sharp dialogue, and lively jokes that it usually takes a team of writers to produce.  This is an impressive feat on his part.  Murphy is a humor comics artist with solid drawing and storytelling chops.  There is a consistency in his compositions that suggests a veteran talent, even if Murphy hasn't been doing this a long time.  Murphy's art and storytelling depicts humor and comic timing so well that this also makes it seem like he is an old hand at comedy and comics.

In his own way, Superguy is a lovable man-child, full of jealousies and self-importance.  Robotguy is a stand-up hero, as good as any human good guy, but destined to face his darkness.  I love these characters. I love this comic book.  I love what Iannaccio and Murphy are doing here.  So far, their Superguy #1 Kickstarter is doing exceedingly well.  I hope they make enough dough to fund at least a few more issues of Superguy because this comic book is a super-read.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of pure comic book fun will want to read Superguy #1 over and over again.

Comics Review: "ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1" is the Dark Knight Begins

ABSOLUTE BATMAN #1

DC COMICS

STORY: Scott Snyder

ART: Nick Dragotta

COLORS: Frank Martin

LETTERS: Clayton Cowles

EDITOR: Katie Kubert

COVER: Nick Dragotta with Frank Martin

VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Wes Craig; Jim Lee and Scott Williams with Alex Sinclair; Mitch Gerads; Ian Bertram; Jim Lee and Scott Williams

36pp, Color, $4.99 U.S. (December 2024)

Batman created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger

“The Zoo” Part One of Five

Batman is a DC Comics superhero that was created by the artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, and that debuted in the Detective Comics #27 (apparently first published on March 30, 1939).  Batman is the alias of Bruce Wayne, a wealthy American playboy, philanthropist, and industrialist who resides in Gotham City. Batman's origin story begins when he is a child and his parents are murdered in front of him, leading young Bruce to swear vengeance on the city's criminal element.

The story of Bruce Wayne and of how he became Batman has been its own “Goldberg variations.”  [2012's Batman: Earth One Volume One is an example.]  Now, comes a new line of DC Comics, “Absolute Comics,” which is similar to Marvel's “Ultimate Comics” line, in that Absolute Comics presents alternate versions and the changed narratives of familiar DC Comics characters and their back stories.  Welcome to “Earth-Alpha” and the “Absolute Universe.”

The first entry in the Absolute Comics line is the recently launched comic book series, Absolute Batman.  It is written by Scott Snyder; drawn by Nick Dragotta; colored by Frank Martin; and lettered by Clayton Cowles.  In the new series, Batman/Bruce Wayne isn't a billionaire with seemingly unlimited resources, but he is still a vigilante by night and now, a thug in the streets.

Absolute Batman #1 opens with a glimpse into the past.  There, we see the incident that spurred young Bruce Wayne onto the mission of 24-year-old Bruce Wayne.  Wayne is a talented, multi-skilled, much-employed, blue-collar civil engineer who fights crime at night as a mysterious vigilante.

In the present day, Alfred Pennyworth is some kind of operative, a secret agent working for a mysterious agency.  His tasks including spying, monitoring, and killing for his bosses.  He is currently in Gotham City investigating the “Party Animals,” apparently a criminal organization with worldwide reach.  These “Party Animals” are in Gotham, killing and terrorizing in the most brutal fashion, and Pennyworth has an eye on them and on a new player in town.

However, this new player in town is like no other Gotham “player,” and he's going to show the Party Animals that he can be every bit as ruthless and as violent as they can be... and more.  Who is “the Batman?”  Without the mansion...without the money...without the butler...what's left is the Absolute Dark Knight!

THE LOWDOWN:  I do not received review PDFs from DC Comics.  I bought a copy of the fifth printing of Absolute Batman #1 from “Stronghold Collectibles” at their booth at the recent Louisiana Comic Con 2025 (March 8-9) in Lafayette, Louisiana.  So I'm free to say what I want, although, as I remember it, DC does not require people who receive access to their review PDFs to give positive reviews.

Honestly, I enjoyed reading Absolute Batman #1, not as much as I enjoyed series writer Scott Snyder's 2011 Batman #1 (or Tony S. Daniel's 2011 Detective Comics #1).  But I enjoyed it nonetheless.  My reading of this first issue suggests that Absolute Batman #1 seems like a kind of prequel or perhaps actual reboot of sorts of Frank Miller's seminal graphic novel, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (DKR).  I could see the Batman/Bruce Wayne of Absolute Batman becoming the 50-year-old Batman/Bruce Wayne of DKR more than I can see the various iterations of Batman in Detective Comics or in the Batman ongoing comic book becoming DKR's vigilante.

Absolute Batman artist, Nick Dragotta, seems to be doing a riff on the art and compositions of Snyder's 2011 Batman collaborator, artist Greg Capullo.  I'm impressed with Dragotta's take on Batman's costume, but his graphical style is still The New 52 era Capullo.  That said, Dragotta's colorist, Frank Martin, an accomplished comic book colorist, seems to be going vintage in his coloring for this first issue, which I think recalls Richmond Lewis' coloring of David Mazuchelli art on the famous story arc, Batman: Year One (1987).

I can say that letterer Clayton Cowles is just being his good old self, and that is very good enough.  His shifting fonts give Absolute Batman #1 style and flair, and the lettering actually encouraged me to really invest my imagination in the story.

I enjoyed this first issue enough that I may seek out more individual issues of Absolute Batman.  Or I might just wait for the trade paperback collection.  I can say that I'm interested in reading a Batman comic book on a regular basis more than I have been for at least half a decade.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Batman comic books will want to read Absolute Batman.

Comics Review: "DARKWING DUCK #1" Makes Another Strong Debut

DARKWING DUCK VOLUME 2 #1

DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT

STORY: Daniel Kibblesmith

ART: Ted Brandt & Ro Stein

COLORS: Dearbhla Kelly

LETTERS: Fabio Amelia

EDITOR: Nate Cosby

COVER: Tad Stones

VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Mark Bagley; Ted Brandt & Ro Stein; Nicoletta Baldari; Ciro Cangialosi; Tad Stones

32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (March 2025)

Rated “All Ages”

“Year One” Part One of Twelve: “Hi, Voltage!”

“Darkwing Duck” was an animated superhero comedy television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation.  It originally aired for three seasons (for a total of 91 episodes) from 1991 to 1992, both as part of the syndicated programming block, “The Disney Afternoon,” and as part of ABC's Saturday morning lineup.  “Darkwing Duck” focused on a suburban duck, Drake Mallard, and his superhero alter-ego, “Darkwing Duck.”  The character was a parody of the pulp fiction vigilante character, The Shadow, and his alter-ego, Kent Allard.

A little over two years ago, Dynamite Entertainment launched a new Darkwing Duck comic book series.  Now, it has recently relaunched the series with Darkwing Duck Volume 2.  It is written by Daniel Kibblesmith; drawn by Ted Brandt & Ro Stein; and colored by Dearbhla Kelly; and lettered by Fabio Amelia.  The new series revisits Darkwing Duck's first year as a superhero.

Darkwing Duck Volume 2 #1 (“Hi, Voltage!”) opens at night in the city of St. Canard. Then, the story moves to the suburbs of St. Canard, specifically the Mallard residence.  Drake Mallard is regaling his adopted daughter, Gosalyn Mallard, with tales of his adventures as Darkwing Duck.  It is, however, early in his crime-busting career, but Darkwing is ready to have... an arch-nemesis?!  Meanwhile, one such candidate presents himself when Megavolt goes after “the max-capacity super battery.”

Meanwhile, Gosalyn does not want an early bedtime when her father is off having adventures.  She wants to visit “the St. Canard-Once-a-Year-After-Hours-Fun-Time-Carnival.”  And to do that, she needs to convince tonight's guard dog, Launchpad McQuack, that he wants to have fun, too.  What are the chances both the father's and the daughter's missions cross paths?

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  One of them is Darkwing Duck Volume 2, Issue #1, one of a few Darkwing Duck comic books that I have read.

I have never watched an episode of the “Darkwing Duck” animated series, although I have always wanted to do so.  My only previous experience reading a Darkwing Duck comic book was Dynamite's 2023 series, and I only read the first four issues.

However, the work of this new series' creative team might make me stick around longer.  Writer Daniel Kibblesmith spins a yarn that offers the usual fun of Darkwing Duck, while depicting a hero in the early days of his crime-busting.  Still, Kibblesmith finds the joy in the character and personality of Darkwing Duck and in the series' signature brand of humor rather than focusing on the mechanics of a superhero's “Year One.”

The art team of illustrators Ted Brandt & Ro Stein and colorist Dearbhla Kelly offer a spry first chapter of storytelling that sparks on the page with adventure and humor.  Brandt & Stein capture the Disney graphical aesthetic, while Kelly colors the story in a way that suggests something vintage or, at least, of recent vintage.  Letterer Fabio Amelia keeps the energy going with battery-charged sound effects, captions, and word balloons.

I hope that Dynamite can find continued success with Darkwing Duck.  There is an audience for this title, and it could be you, dear readers.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Darkwing Duck will want to try Dynamite's new Darkwing Duck Volume 2 comic book series.

Comics Review: Dani Diaz's "DREAMOVER" Graphic Novel is a Dream to Read

DREAMOVER

IDW PUBLISHING/Top Shelf Productions

CARTOONIST: Dani Diaz

EDITOR: Leigh Walton

EiC: Chris Staros

ISBN: 978-1-60309-546-4; paperback with French flaps | 6" x 8.5" (January 14, 2025)

Diamond Code: NOV241133 (January 15, 2025)

312pp, Color, $19.99 U.S.; $26.99 CAN

Age: 13 to 17

Grades: 8 to 12

Dreamover is a 2025 original graphic novel created by Dani Diaz.  Published by Top Shelf Productions, this full-color, paperback book is Diaz's debut work.  Dreamover follows two best friends, adolescents who are becoming more than friends when a sleepover becomes a “dreamover.”

Dreamover opens in the pre-smartphone 2000s.  It introduces two characters who have been friends since the third grade.  Amber is a headstrong girl and goofball with a temper, while Nico Davis is shy and self-conscious boy.  Amber has had a crush on Nico for a long time, and she can't hide her feelings any longer.  Amber and Nico are also close with a few other friends.  There is Drew, who seems to be on the verge of coming out, and also Stella and Grace, who are already, seemingly a couple.

The friends have just finished eighth-grade, and that milestone is being marked by an eighth-grade beach trip.  There, Amber confesses her love to Nico and discovers that the feeling is mutual.  This begins a glorious and blissful summer of first love.

However, when the school year comes around again.  Amber, Nico, and their friends have entered high school, specifically Barrington High with its 2000 students.  Amber and Nico cling to each other through bullies, homework, early mornings, and other stressful situations.  As they maintain their closeness, however, Amber and Nico begin to alienate and neglect Drew and Stella and Grace.

Amber wishes she and Nico could get away.  One night, Amber gets her wish after the two fall asleep playing video games.  Soon, a sleepover turns into a dreamover, but it isn't as perfect and as magical as it sounds...

THE LOWDOWN:  I have been on the mailing list of Top Shelf Productions editor-in-chief, Chris Staros, for over two decades.  Back in January, I received one of his emails that announce new publications.  When I saw the write up and promo art for Dreamover, it was like being struck by magical lightning.  I knew I had to read it, and my Amazon gift card balance made that a possibility.

Comics are not so much a “sequential art” as they are a graphics-based art that yields graphical storytelling.  In Dreamover, author and creator Dani Diaz through her work here testifies to the fact that not only illustrations, but also colors and lettering are art when it comes to comic book storytelling.  They are a narrative grouping that makes storytelling more than about mere words.

Dreamover is a story told through pictures and graphics.  The narrative is not about the intellect, but is about emotions, impressions, and visuals.  We have to feel as much as we read.  That's how we understand Amber and Nico:  the tumult and exhilaration which defines both their relationship with one another and with their friends and also the surreal journey through dreams and dreamscapes that ultimately challenges each individual's expectations.  Diaz touches upon magical realism, coming-of-age drama, and slice-of-life melodrama, but most of all she grapples with the reality of how a small and intimate relationship between two children involves big and complicated emotions.

In time, as more people discover Dreamover, Dani Diaz may discover the back-handed joy of “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”  The visual and graphic splendor of this story and how the author uses it to depict the vagaries of young love has some similarities to the colorful wonderland comics narratives of the past.  That includes the work of Windsor McKay, Moebius, Chester Brown, Trina Robbins, and Jim Woodring, to name a few.  As these artists had disciples, so I believe that Diaz will, also.  I have to believe that Dreamover will have descendants, so to speak.  That is because Dreamover is magical and inescapable, and I wish this graphic novel didn't have an ending.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of young adult original graphic novels and of Top Shelf's YA graphic novels will want to read Dreamover.

A+

Based on “Uncle Scrooge” by Carl Barks

“Four Corners of Your World” Part Three: “The Duckburg Clink”

“DuckTales” was an animated television series that ran from 1987 to 1990.  Produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and Tokyo Movie Shinsha, DuckTales was syndicated to American local television stations and ran for 100 episodes.  The series also yielded a theatrical spin-off movie, DuckTales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990).  In 2017, a second “DuckTales” series ran for 69 episodes over three seasons (2017-2021).

DuckTales was inspired by and based upon the Uncle Scrooge comics book and other comic books set in the world of Donald Duck that Carl Barks, legendary comic book writer-artist, created mainly from the early 1940s and into the 1960s.  The TV show followed the adventures of Donald Duck's uncle, Scrooge McDuck; his three grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie (who were also Donald's nephews), and a close group of friends.

There were several DuckTales-related comics publications and comic books published on and off over a period from 1988 to 2020.  Dynamite Entertainment brings DuckTales back to comic books with DuckTales Volume 1.  It is written by Brandon Montclare; drawn and colored by Tomasso Ronda; and lettered by Fabio Amelia.

DuckTales Volume 1 #3 (“The Duckburg Clink”) opens at night in a jail cell in the Duckburg City Jail.  There, we find Uncle Scrooge!... and the Beagle Boys!  It seems that earlier that night, Uncle Scrooge and the nephews went treasure hunting in Craven Caverns, which is near the jail.  Meanwhile, the criminal matriarch, Ma Beagle, was leading her sons, the “Beagle Boys,” in a jail break that took them down an underground path.  Paths cross, and Uncle Scrooge lands in the clink.

For as long as Scrooge McDuck has been a successful tycoon, he's had to deal with swindlers, burglars, and every other kind of chiseler (including Flintheart Glomgold) who wants to get their hands on his hard-earned fortune. The most infamous group of those scheming miscreants that hound Scrooge's every step is the infamous family known as the Beagle Boys.

Now, opposing forces must become supporting forces if Beagle and Duck families are going to be freed from incarceration in Duckburg's jail.  Will this union work?

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  DuckTales Volume 1, Issue #3 is the latest.

I thought the first issue of the new DuckTales comic book series was more an introductory chapter than a first chapter of a serial.  With the second issue, writer Brandon Montclare really began the storytelling simply by digging into the legacy and world Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comic books (sometimes called the “Duck universe).

The late comic book writer-artist, Carl Barks, left a back list and a character catalog that is rich with storytelling potential.  Flintheart Glomgold, who first appeared in Uncle Scrooge #15 (cover dated: September 1956), and the “Beagle Boys,” who first appeared in Walt Disney Comics and Stories #134 (cover dated: November 1951), are characters from which a savvy writer can spin Disney comics gold.  Later Disney comic book creators, such as Don Rosa, and also the “DuckTales” television series writers added to the Duck universe.  Montclare deftly taps into the past, and this time the result is “The Duckburg Clink,” which reads like a classic Disney comic book. 

Artist Tomasso Ronda continues to present beautiful art and engaging storytelling.  His art looks as if it has stepped from a Disney animation reel, and Ronda illustrations make the story pop with suspense and fun.  Ronda will be well remembered for his run here by Disney comic book fans for capturing the colorful magic of the wonderful storytelling worlds of Disney.  Fabio Amelia's lettering completes the spell in making Issue #3 fit right in as an true Disney comic book.

DuckTales #3 is an impressive third issue.  It suggests that this series has staying power, and I hope that you, dear readers, help it stay around.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Disney comic books and of DuckTales will want to try DuckTales Volume 1.
