Rated T+
Cosmic Ghost Rider #4 dispenses with the teases to reveal the entire mystery surrounding the second Rider's identity. Unfortunately, the reveal is a bizarre (and convenient) explanation that shifts the series into a humorous tone that doesn't fit the previous issues. The art looks great, but any urgency or anticipation going into the finale has fallen flat. Read Full Review

Cosmic ghost rider is probably m6favorite among the newer “heroes” marvel has come up with. The Donny Cates material was amazing. This series has not really disappointed at all. I was really excited to see another mini series with Frank coming out (wish they would do an ongoing).
So as for this issue you do find out why there are two Franks when they get them together and they wake up. I’m not going to spoil that one here. This issue reveals that and also we have a little fight between the two Ghost Riders out in space that ends up with Frank being transported to an unknown area. He looks up and sees….. the cliffhanger to make you anxiously await the next issue.
The story is just getting weirder and more interesting. Sadly, there is only one issue left for the conclusion. I wish there was more exploration of the characters. I hope things get wrapped up properly in the final issue.
Cosmic Ghost Rider started off as one of the most absurd, over-the-top premises Marvel had ever seen. It'd take a hell of a lot of work to make CGR *boring*...but here we are. After four slow issues, at last we learn that CGR has been Jekyll-and-Hyde-d by a standard-issue Star Trek Space Wedgie. Wheeee.
This isn't a bad book. But it is, in equal measure, not a good book. It's stuck in the lukewarm middle, and I feel that judgment applies equally to the prose, the art, and the premise.
