Space Ghost #5 wraps op the Zorak arc with Space Ghost surrendering to the villain, who has captured his two young partners, and being forced to overload the collider as he commands. It turns out the crazed bug’s mad prophecy was true. Thankfully, Space Ghost overloading the collider doesn’t destroy the universe, but it does rip a hole to another reality revealing Zorak’s god to be quite real and give him a door to send through his minions.
Jan and Jace eventually escape, with the help of Blip, and one of them will even save Space Ghost’s life (and through that action save the universe). However, it appears that action will have some ramifications for our new trio as one member has decided this super-heroing may not be for him. Solid stuff, with the added bonus of Zorak not being crazy (well, not all crazy at least) and a lingering plot thread to build on moving into the next issue.
