Space Ghost #1
Relaunching the series with a new volume but keeping the same creative team for no real reason (who does Dynamite Entertainment think they are, Marvel?), Space Ghost #1 gives us the Toymaker's attack on Playtopia Prime turning the amusement park into a death trap and threatening the lives of all the hostages. Intercut with the comic's B-story, we get a lot of hero and and villain wisecracking to each other as Space Ghost challenges the Toymaker to a game where, thanks to the help of Blip, he wins.
The comic's subplot involves Jan and Jace meeting with their grandfather who offers them a chance to live with him in his mansion and is utterly perplexed by their refusal which leads to both of them how Dax helped them survive and strive after their parents died and he is family to them. Both parts of the comic work to reintroduce the trio and explain Jace and Jan's relationship to Space Ghost (without revealing his secret identity to their grandfather).
