Not everyone knows who Space Ghost is, and when considering there’s been different takes in the past, to say which characterization is best depends on who you ask. He was good back when Hanna Barbera broadcasted those classic cartoons and the 90s adult swim parody really diminished who he was. I can’t watch Space Ghost Coast to Coast at all, and when I heard about Dynamite Comics publishing a brand-new reboot, I was eager to dive in!
What’s presented is familiar, and when it involves Jan and Jace a lot more, I’m loving it! I always believed they were the original Wonder Twins (Super Friends) and when considering they both have pet monkeys, I’m sure the carry over was intentional. As the DC Comics inspired series was made to appeal to the kids of the 70s, perhaps the hope was that their parents would say, “Hey, Zan and Jayna are just like those kids, in Space Ghost, a cartoon I saw when I was your age.”
