Space Ghost Volume Two: The Council of Doom [Trade Paperback] #[nn]

In "Captured by the Creature King!" from Space Ghost Volume Two: The Council of Doom, Space Ghost, Jan, Jace, and Blip find themselves stranded on a primal world ruled by an evolved primate known as the Creature King, where ancient Robo Corp tech has birthed twisted, savage creatures—and a mysterious Encephalo Ray is turning the tide of their survival. As Space Ghost and Jan are thrust into brutal gladiatorial combat, Blip, now a sharp-witted strategist despite his primate form, must rally a feral Jace to outthink the Creature King’s reign before their humanity is lost for good.

In "Old Scores to Settle!" from *Space Ghost Volume Two: The Council of Doom*, the past comes roaring back as Space Ghost tracks a hijacked cargo vessel carrying a negatron bomb, recognizing the attacking robots as remnants of the same forces that destroyed Planet Vector and killed his wife and daughter. With the weight of his loss driving him forward, he pursues Metallus into the heart of the Galactic Federation—where the warlord once faced disgrace and exile—setting the stage for a confrontation that will test both his resolve and the justice he once believed in.

In "You Can't Kill a Ghost!", Space Ghost returns from the dead—more spectral and furious than ever—as Jan, Jace, and Blip push forward on a desperate mission to save the Galactic Federation Homeworld. With the war-making flagship of Metallus in their sights, they’re stunned to find the legendary hero already inside, moving through enemy ranks like a vengeful shadow, his every strike fueled by the loss of his family and the destruction of Planet Vector.

In a future shattered by catastrophe, the relentless Space Spectre emerges as a dark mirror to Space Ghost—ruthless, driven, and determined to prevent the apocalypse of Robo Corp’s Project Ultima. When Space Ghost and his team join forces with their longtime foe Ibal to stop the impending doom, they’re outmatched by a foe who sees no value in mercy. Who is Space Spectre, and what past horrors forged him? The answer unfolds in a chilling revelation on the story’s penultimate page.

When a rift splits Space Ghost from his wards Jan and Jace—prompting them to leave with Blip—the Ghost Planet is suddenly invaded by the newly formed Council of Doom, a coalition of Space Ghost’s greatest foes led by the ruthless CEO Doctor Xander Ibal. Ibal, seeking to reclaim Blip as Robo Corp property, launches a full-scale assault, forcing Jan and Jace to return after overhearing the attack on their radio—only to find Blip already in enemy hands.

In "Exit the Council of Doom!", Space Ghost faces his most united threat yet as the newly formed Council of Doom—six of his greatest foes bound by Doctor Ibal—prepares to destroy the Ghost Planet. With Blip in Ibal’s grasp and Project Ultima activated, Jan and Jace return to rally Space Ghost, betting on the one thing the villains never learned: that even the most powerful rogues can’t survive when they stop thinking only of themselves.

In "The ULTIMA-te Solution!", Space Ghost and the crew face a galaxy-wide threat as the sinister Ultima reveals himself through the puppeteers Doctor Xander Ibal and the Council of Doom, using a vast satellite fleet to broadcast mind control across the stars. With the fate of free will hanging in the balance, the heroes must dismantle Ibal’s scheme—only to confront a long-buried secret from Jan and Jace’s past that complicates everything.
