After the shattering events of issue #5, Robo-Corp is working hard to keep the forces of the Galactic Federation busy and distracted. To that end, they’re bringing in their heaviest hitter to aid in their evil scheme — MOLTAR!
Award-winning writer DAVID PEPOSE (Punisher) and superstar artist JONATHAN LAU (Vampirella Strikes) ratchet up the tension in Space Ghost #6 — aided and abetted by arresting covers from FRANCESCO MATTINA, JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, BJORN BARENDS, and the debut of ANTHONY MARQUES and J. BONE!
I like the found-family dynamic of this story, where these oddballs have come together and rely on one another. Jace is grappling with what he had to do in the last issue (totally justifiable in my opinion, but after all, he is just a kid) and it affects him through this whole issue. Luckily, he still has three other characters that care about him here.
I'm not familiar with most of the characters of this series, so when I saw Moltar on the cover, I figured he was like Bane, the one villain that would break Space Ghost physically, if nothing else. He seemed rather lame to be honest, and his interior design reminded me of Cleetus, the FOX NFL robot, but hey, it's not supposed to be as dark and brooding a comic as Batman anyway.
Overall, this is still a fun series that makes me want to keep reading.
