Space Ghost/Jonny Quest: Space Quest #1
AT LAST — THE MEETING THE COSMOS DEMANDED!
The Quest Family is legendary for how far they’ll go in the spirit of exploration and discovery — but their latest mission is literally out of this world!
Jonny and the gang are brought in to investigate a mysterious, potentially extraterrestrial spacecraft that has been found by the government and brought to Area 51. Of course, where there’s spaceships, there’s bound to be aliens, right? But what Team Quest finds in this particular UFO is a far cry from the usual little gray men — and it’s under the jurisdiction of a (literally) higher Space Ghost!
So what happens when the Defender of the Spaceways and the world’s most famous boy adventurer cross paths? The greatest entertainment event of the 21st century, that’s what — all effortlessly executed by Jonny Quest’s acclaimed creative team of author JOE CASEY and illustrator SEBASTIÁN PIRIZ, with high-gain covers expertly engineered by MARK SPEARS, JOSHUA MIDDLETON, DEREK CHEW, BEN OLIVER, and CHAD HARDIN!

Comic Review: Space Quest #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)
Written by Joe Casey | Art by Sebastián Piriz
Dynamite’s expanding Hanna-Barbera universe hits warp speed in Space Quest #1, a thrilling and well-executed crossover that seamlessly continues the legacy of Jonny Quest while officially launching Space Ghost into shared continuity. For fans of the previous Jonny Quest run, this issue doesn’t just pick up where we left off—it rockets forward with cosmic stakes and character depth, opening the door to a bold, interstellar direction.
Writer Joe Casey understands the assignment: honor the classic spirit of these legendary characters while pushing them into a more mature, modern storytelling realm. Jonny, Hadji, Race, and Dr. Quest are no longer just on Earth-bound adventures—they’re now tangled in a cosmic web, and their first encounter with Space Ghost is every bit as cool as longtime fans could hope for.
The pacing is deliberate but never drags. We get strong character moments, bits of introspective narration, and a sense that there are real consequences at play. Casey doesn’t rush the crossover. Instead, he lets tension simmer as Jonny’s team uncovers mysteries that feel far beyond their usual scope—until, of course, the ghostly figure from space makes his grand entrance.
Artist Sebastián Piriz continues to impress with his dynamic, clean linework and fluid layouts. There’s a subtle pulp sci-fi aesthetic baked into the visuals that feels like a loving tribute to the original cartoon designs, yet the modern rendering makes the action and character work feel current and cinematic. Space Ghost in particular looks amazing—regal, imposing, and wrapped in cosmic mystery.
What makes this crossover work so well is that it doesn't feel forced. It feels like the natural next step for both properties—Jonny Quest's Earth is ready to meet the wider universe, and Space Ghost is the perfect envoy. With both series having established themselves as serious, grounded, and fun reinterpretations of their classic counterparts, bringing them together is a move that feels earned and exciting.
Verdict: 9/10
🔥 Space Quest #1 is a worthy crossover debut that delivers big ideas, thrilling moments, and respect for the source material. If the rest of this miniseries maintains this quality, it’s going to be one heck of a ride. Whether you're a fan of the revamped Jonny Quest, a lover of cosmic heroics via Space Ghost, or a newcomer curious about Dynamite’s Hanna-Barbera revival—you’ll want to get onboard.

Early on I was turned off by the soapy scene shifts and the unreasonable alpha BS of the general (I prefer villains to be depicted less stereotypically cartoonish), but the story's SF elements ultimately won me over.

Who would have thought? What an idea for a team up? And I collect both titles!
