Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have announced the relaunch of Space Ghost, with Space Ghost #1 scheduled for July 2025. The character’s creative team will continue at the helm, including writer David Pepose, artist Jonathan Lau, colorist Andrew Dalhouse, and letterer Taylor Esposito.
Additionally, Space Ghost #1 is getting a Francesco Mattina main cover and variants by legendary artists Alex Ross, Jae Lee, June Chung, Bjorn Barends, and Michael Cho.
Dynamite’s Space Ghost is probably one of the best and hottest superhero comic books out right now. On June 11, 2025, the 12-issue series will get an annual (check out our interview with Pepose here), and in March, a crossover with Space Ghost/Jonny Quest: Spacequest, written by Joe Casey and illustrated by Sebastián Píriz, hit the shelves of your LCS.
Dynamite said in a statement:
“Because you demanded it… the adventures will continue in our epic second volume of Space Ghost!” said series writer David Pepose. “Following the aftermath of Robo Corp and the Council of Doom’s evil schemes, Jonathan Lau and I have some truly exciting new storylines coming for Space Ghost, Jan, Jace, and Blip, as their superheroic partnership will be tested in ways that will shake the very foundations of their universe. This relaunch is a testament to the incredible passion and dedication of all the readers, retailers, and press, who have championed our series from the very beginning — Space Ghost has been one of the most rewarding books I’ve ever had a chance to work on, and I can’t wait for fans to see what we have in store for you next!”
This new jumping-on point kicks off with the first appearance in the series of a classic villain. Space Ghost and Blip find themselves on a planet themed all around amusement parks that has been taken over by the maniacal Toymaker, with a high-stakes hostage crisis at hand. Meanwhile, Jan and Jace are confronted by a mysterious figure from their past that will shake the Ghost Planet team to their core.
Pepose and company have largely packed each and every issue with a complete epic, while continuing subplots, turning to larger arcs when ramping things up even more, to give fans what they want! August’s second issue brings in another exciting character with Space Ghost’s notorious old flame, the Eclipse Woman. When her energy-bending crime spree crosses paths with ruthless crime lord Boss Parko, Space Ghost and the twins get drawn into a deadly orbit.

Space Ghost #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ May 2025 Previews catalog and is slated for release in July 2025. Preorder your copy through your LCS so you don’t miss out.
