THE CHALLENGE OF THE GHOST RIDERS STARTS HERE! Robbie Reyes wants to get rid of the flame-headed monster inside him. So it's time to do the common sense thing: perform an exorcism on his car. Only problem is, Johnny Blaze, the king of Hell, has some plans of his own for the newest Ghost Rider and his Avengers friends.
Rated T+
Hell has come to Avengers Mountain and Robbie Reyes is at the center of it. The Avengers must fight for the very soul of Robbie and exorcise the demons from his soul and his car. The only problem is that Johnny Blaze has taken an interest in Robbie, and wants to show him the true power of the Ghost Rider. Read Full Review
A nice grouping of characters and an effective horror tone make for a compelling first chapter with (you should excuse the expression) one hell of a cliffhanger. Read Full Review
Stefano Casellis art is really good. The characters look great, but Caselli does some amazingly detailed work on depicting the Hell Charger. Read Full Review
Avengers #22 is a great start to the new arc, bringing back characters that have been missing in action in comics for almost a year, with fantastic art and writing. Read Full Review
A slow burn for the anticipation of the main race, but a good and necessary start to the arc. Read Full Review
Somewhere in the midst of everything, theres also a moment between Thor and Iron Man in a Turkish desert. Theyve been called in to investigate the strange appearance of what appears to be a fossilized Iron Man helmet in a cave. The addition of that scene amid Reyes problems, helps to keep the issue running on a few different tracks. In a way that recalls the kind of deft traffic control, Chris Claremont had in The Uncanny X-Men when his run on that series was firing on all cylinders. Aarons Avengers seems to have found firm footing now that the smoke has finally cleared on the War of the Realms crossover event. Read Full Review
Big, strange, and all kinds of fun Avengers #22 starts this new arc on a strange but engaging foot. Read Full Review
Let's not forget that the subplot of the book leans into the idea of "Ancient Avengers.” I'm a big fan of the stage Jason Aaron has set in 22 issues. Between the Ancient Avengers, Ghost Rider: King of Hell, Dracula's gang, the Russians, Namor, and the Squadron Supreme, it's insane how he was able to do it. Caselli has proven to be a solid follow up to Ed McGuinness. This issue was an improvement on last month's. The characters were clean and crisp, even when the shots are panned out. The scenes with Ghost Rider's car spewing flames are dynamic and exciting. Stefano Caselli is with us through this Ghost Rider story so we'll be sure to get plenty more impressive art.

Avengers is digging into some horror angles and Hell itself with this arc and I am here for it. This storyline looks like it's made for new and old Ghost Rider fans alike and I can't wait to see how this plays out. With all the terrifying monsters big and small the Avengers have taken on, there's no reason they can't also fight the underworld. Read Full Review
Avengers #22 pits the team against the Hellcharger in an exorcism story that takes itself just the right amount of seriously. It's a fun ride, the stakes feel credible, and the visuals are wonderfully polished. Expanding a single-Avenger story to involve other heroes across multiple issues looks like a bet that will pay off big. Read Full Review
Nothing ever dives too deep below the surface, but it's a wonderful ride nonetheless. Can we get this version of the Avengers all the time? Read Full Review
Avengers #22 kicks off a new story arc and it's a solid point to hop on to the series. The story seems like it'll reveal more about the history of Ghost Rider and bring back some classic characters too. It's a solid mix of new and old moving things ahead in a flaming car. Read Full Review
Jump on this issue if you want or read the vampire arc first it works either way this story should be decent enough. Read Full Review
Jason Aaron starts out his next Avengers arc in a darkly themed, but exciting fashion! Read Full Review
Ghost Riders, rev up your engines! Read Full Review
Avengers #22 lays the groundwork for an entertaining story but doesn't deliver any payoff for the past year of Avengers-centric Ghost Rider stories. Read Full Review
Avengers 22 is a near perfect issue and my one complaint is how extremely overpowered Robbie’s car is. Don’t know why i just found it annoying Lmao. Stefano Caselli is on art duties and he may be the best artist of the series so far, better than McGuinness in my opinion. I haven’t been keeping up with Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch these pst couple years, get Avengers 22 was still a fun packed, Ghost Rider maniac tribute.
This was a really great, fun issue.
Boohoo I hate my awesome fire ghost car just because it tried to murder my loved ones.
I actually rhought this issue was really coolc. Looking forward to how this arc plays out
"Robbie. Remenber where you're at, Son. Yeah, try reading my Wikipedia sometime."
Blade doesn't know where Johnny Blaze is? I guess he forgot watching him sacrifice himself in Damnation -- and that he (Blade) was one of the Midnight Sons who came out of that event explicitly tasked with rescuing Johnny from Hell.
I've been meaning to pick this title up forever, simply because Jason Aaron is writing it, but never got around to it because I'm not that big of a avengers fan. Then ghost Rider is on the cover and I'm all in. The verdict? It was good, but nothing special. I'll probably finish this arc, but wait for the trades.
