After the explosive events of last issue, the Brothers Ghost Rider will never be the same!
There's only one being they can turn to now: Mephisto?!?
Rated T+
This is a fast read, but it does move the story along and leaves you wanting more. This is a huge struggle for the Riders and being the King isn't easy. Danny Ketch fans take notice of this issue, as there are some great moments and finally the talk you all wanted. Wrap all that up in some great art and you've got a good issue. Read Full Review
Things are pushing forward full steam ahead and before too long, there's bound to be an epic showdown"we've just got to wait. Read Full Review
Ghost Rider #3 is essentially one long setup for what's to come. It's an important issue to develop the overarching story, but it loses what made the first two issues so fun in the process. Read Full Review
The concept of Ghost Rider is a good one, and this should be one of Marvels flagship titles. Instead, its a joyless slog with inconsistent art. Its a major disappointment. Read Full Review
The saga of the two Ghost Riders is a spellbinding tale of two diametrically opposed wills. The pacing is good for this type of tale, it's not moving to fast and we can see the frustrations of both personalities as they try to deal with their individual possessions. Ketch and Blaze have different goals and this issue shows their frustrations with trying to live those lives and achieve these goals with the supernatural interfering. Johnny catches up to two demons from hell who are causing problems on earth, he chastises them as they are on the way to…be continued. ***1/2 (8.8 rating) Read Full Review
Juan Frigeri's art is fantastic and the art does an amazing job of showcasing the powers of Blaze. Both the beginning and end of the issue are visually stunning. Read Full Review
Prelude:
Ghost Rider has really taken me by surprise so let's see how Brisson goes on this issue.
The Good:
I like the Native American Ghost Rider for what little we saw.
It's an interesting development for Danny so it'll be nice to see where he goes from here.
That's an interesting cliffhanger. I'm looking forward to see where it goes.
The Bad:
The Hell Civil War is still being sidelined.
Conclusion:
Brisson keeps up the pace this issue. While it mainly serves as set-up, the progression is interesting even if the Hell Civil War isn't being covered as much as I would like.
Danny goes "Achilles in his tent" for an issue, wishing that he could just wave goodbye to the Spirit of Vengeance. But of course that's not The Right Thing To Do, as he eventually gets reminded. While he's having his moment, cutaway scenes add some nice texture to the brewing Hell conflict(s). I'm not really engaging with Danny's troubles, but the storytelling is good enough to keep me from being bored and the big picture plot remains intriguing.
I'm really amazed at how much I'm enjoying this book.
-I feel like there is a missed opportunity to see more war in hell, more of the factions fighting to gain control while a splinter group goes to free mephisto
I feel like I’m missing a lot but it was still pretty enjoyable to read.
I thought this issue was pretty good. I'm interested in the larger picture here, even if some of the smaller character moments aren't for me. That's mostly because I've never been a huge Ghost Rider fan so my knowledge of their histories is cursory at best.
