AVENGERS MOUNTAIN: POSSESSED as CHALLENGE OF THE GHOST RIDERS continues!
It's Ghost Rider vs. Ghost Rider in a wild race through hell, while the Avengers have to fight for their lives against their own Celestial headquarters, which is now possessed by a rather shocking, rather murderous hell-damned soul!
Rated T+
Hell has come for the Avengers and it wants Robbie Reyes' soul. Robbie must drive like a bat out of Hell if he wants to survive. The Avengers now must have to battle a cosmically powered Ghost Rider. They may need to bring in Galactus now. Read Full Review
Stefano Caselli delivers some impressive art in this issue. Some of the visual highlights include all of the scenes in hell between Robbie and Johnny Blaze as well as the final reveal in this issue. Read Full Review
Now I don't know when Frank Castle got the Power Cosmic AND the Spirit of Vengeance but I won't lie. It sounds like the creation of a drunk Stan Lee and I am here for it. The book continues to impress with Aaron's pulling on several threads laid down in earlier issues. Here the Ghost Rider story intersects with the concept of the ancient Avengers whom we got a few stories about. The creme filling here is in Hell. Caselli's hellscape is beautifully terrifying. It had the unfortunate side effect of reminding me how much I prefer Ghost Rider's original design, especially in the hands of a capable artist. Keep this book in hell for as long as you guys need!

There's a lot going on in this latest issue of Avengers, and most of it is off the rails in the best possible way. Read Full Review
Part two of the Riders arc does a good job to continue driving the story by introducing a fierce challenge for the Avengers. We are starting to see the Ghost Riders interact with each other and a dive into their history. Read Full Review
Aaron and Casselli do an admirable job of keeping everything together in an issue that could have easily disintegrated into a lot of disjointed scenes between different groupings of Avengers. The magical milieu could start to get a bit tired if it carries on for too much longer, but the series seems to be in quite capable hands with Aaron and Casselli. Read Full Review
Avengers #23 continues to put the spotlight on Robbie Reyes, Ghost Rider, as he races Johnny Blaze in hell. Both a good story and good art make Avengers #23 a comic worth reading. Read Full Review
This issue started a bit slow, but once it got going, I really enjoyed it a lot.
Congratulations, kid. You just made your first deal with the devil. Now you're a ghost rider.
My boooooy.
I don't know how to feel about this run. The premise is good and there is a lot of great ideas but the execution isn't perfect. Still, the issue is good and what's not to love about a race between Ghost Riders ?
Constantly ☠☠☠☠☠☠☠ up the spelling of "Hellstrom" is the epitome of an avoidable error. Nice editing, editors.
I found myself bored at times during this issue which is never good. The art was amazing, though. I’m not liking the demonic theme Aaron have this issue and I’ve never been fond of demon or exorcism comics. Aaron jumps from Robbie’s adventure to the rest of the Avengers fighting their own headquarters. Awesome last page though but Aaron needs to reel things in
This issue just sums up what I feel about this entire run, which is it's alright. I with Jason Aaron told just one story, cuz this is split between two, and it suffers from that. The Ghost Rider stuff was awesome and cool, the avengers stuff in the mountain was extremely dull. The way Aaron writes some of the characters, particularly She-Hulk and Captain America, they feel like brutes rather than actual people. Which is frustrating because he took Thor, a character many thought was a dull brute, and made him into one of the most fascinating characters in his Thor story. I still will pick this book up weekly because I love team books, but those are the qualms I have. The art has been consistently good though, which is a positive for thmore
