Review: Space Ghost #9
From Dynamite Comics
Finishing off the mini-arc, this is Space Ghost #9 from Dynamite Comics.
In this issue: With his old foe Space Ghost on the ropes, Metallus surveys the destruction he has wrought - and deems it good. Now it’s all up to Jan, Jace, and Blip to somehow pull victory from the jaws of defeat - and help their mentor take Metallus down once and for all!

The comeback is on!
This issue combines some form of closure for Space Ghost, taking on the foe who was the cause of his family’s death.
I like how this played out, Metallus’s reliance on others being a part of his downfall here, with Space Ghost not able to use his bands, there is just blind fury.
That, combined with the science and bravery of the kids (and monkey) work really well. I liked how they worked out the weakness of the robotic army and how to use it to their advantage. This allowed them to get to Space Ghost at the right time and work with him.
This finished off the arc well, with the potential of a Metallus return and allows Space Ghost to get some things off his chest.
This issue had some excellent art, with battles on the ground, in confined spaces and in space shown really well. The final battle between Space Ghost and Metallus really showed the emotion well.
