The Story for SPACE GHOST Vol. 2 #11

We kick off in the cretaceous period. Hoping Space Ghost will have been worn down by some prehistoric living, the “Time Tyrants” head off (or back) to get him. Some a little more cocky than others. It all comes down to an old “foe.” One who knew better than to doubt Space Ghost, but still couldn’t help himself.

Meanwhile back in the present the kids have teamed up with grown up Jace to fight killer robots, and figure out what in the timey whimey hell is going on. As this unlikely trio works together, they uncover the root of it all. Or simply evidence, that changing the past, doesn’t exactly ever seem to work out the way it’s intended.

The Art

Whether we’re dropped in prehistoric times, or fighting giant robots, the art is all beautifully done on every page. This is a comic book with time travel, dinosaurs, and spaceships, but there’s a serious story underneath all the laughs and chaos. The art does a perfect job of capturing that. It’s got realism where needed, and some amazing explosions and insanity where needed. All while capturing those emotions on each character’s face, that is so vital to a good comic book. Inside and out, the art killed it.

Final Thoughts

With a Jurassic size ending, and a cliff hanger, this was another fantastic issue of Space Ghost! If you’re looking for an adventure full of vengeance, space, time travel, dinosaurs, action, and more… look no further. Space Ghost #11 is a time traveling adventure with mystery and amazing build ups. While never losing sight of its humanity. I got to give issue #11 of Volume 2, 9 out of 10 Chrono Bands.

Overall Grade: 9/10
