Cosmic Ghost Rider #2 brings a lot more chaos and brilliant storytelling to the table. Read Full Review
The general vibe of Cosmic Ghost Rider continues to mesh well with a modern MCU sensibility that's hard to resist. Throw in a mystery surrounding Cosmic Ghost Rider's mojo and some colorful new characters, and you have yourself a growing hit. Read Full Review
Cosmic Ghost Rider #2 ups the bounty hunter challenges for Frank Castle but doesn't do much else. The art looks great, and the action is kinetic, but the story lacks any clues about the second Riders identity and doesn't have a direction for Frank other than survival. Read Full Review

Enjoyable space western. Better than expected.
This comic is a breeze to read, and it's not unentertaining, but it feels like the pacing is already way too slow for a five(?) issue mini.

This series is shaping up into a cautionary tale: There's such a thing as too slow, and such a thing as too mysterious, and putting them together can leave a comic stuck in neutral.
I like this comic *in theory*, but to really capture my attention, the script needs to give me something more than a generally-appealing premise.
The art still looks mighty pretty, though! And it's a fast read. I may be inclined to harshness by the slow schedule on top of the slow storytelling. Like so many Marvel miniseries, this one will be a lot better in trades.
