Comments: Space Ghost vs. Zandor leads to a battle royal involving not only the two heroes but their teams as well. Gloop, Igoo, and Tundra match up against Jan, Jace, and Blip to deliver action that is off the scale. There are plenty of hard-hitting blows and energy blasts flying everywhere.
Almost everyone here believes the others are not who they really are. The heroes are villains and vice versa. A few characters are exactly who they appear to be, and that eventually comes out. The villains do not seem overly impressive, though they are mostly kept in the background.
The storyline does a good job of portraying these characters, especially Zandor, who is driven by grief. Yet having these heroes face off against each other does not entirely suit them. Zandor fighting for vengeance is certainly something he would do, but only if he believed he was on the side of right. Having him portrayed as a villain does not suit his character. Fortunately, the story takes some unexpected turns in this issue, making it much better and changing what the reader can expect going forward.
The art is too dark at times, making it difficult to fully see the characters and appreciate the action.
The battle between Space Ghost and Zandor reaches a new high in this issue as both now fight for what they love most.
