Space Ghost Vol. 2 Annual #1 (Review)

Writer: David Pepose Artist: Jonathan Lau Dynamite Entertainment, July 2026 After the massive showdown in Space Ghost #12, you’d be forgiven for expecting this annual to be a victory lap. Issue #12 wrapped up almost every major plot thread we’d been following: our hero beat the big bads, outsmarted the manipulative Tempus, and delivered a finale-level payoff. Artist Jonathan Lau could put his feet up, relieved of his dynamic action scenes for an issue, and focus on pensive close-ups of the characters.

While standard for Western comics, its inclusion here suggests Mr Malikyte is actively courting a manga-centric audience. This aligns with the book’s clear Japanese and gaming influences. The opening tournament introduces Ke’lan and simultaneously establishes
