Yeah, my same thoughts.
In the blood-soaked tunnels beneath Chicago, and upon the horned altar of Hell's Backbone, the final fights of The Shadow Country arc will come to a startling conclusion. Blackheart, Exhaust, Zeb and his magicians, Talia Warroad, and the Ghost Rider himself will all crash together -- and not everyone is making it out alive. In the aftermath of these battles, a new chapter will begin. Featuring new allies, new threats, and the return of some familiar faces...
Rated T+
Every loose end comes together and it comes together quickly without so much as a second to breathe, all leading to one of the biggest Ghost Rider reveals in recent memory. Read Full Review
This felt rushed but it was a good conclusion. Talia Warroad is a nice adition. I hope she becames a regular.
A little disappointed by this one, not gonna lie. I liked it, as can be seen by my score, but I do feel as though this wasn't as strong as it could have been, considering how much I enjoyed a majority of everything before this. This definitely felt like a conclusion, but I did find it to be a little rushed. I feel like Johnny confronting Blackheart could have been a little bit bigger of a deal. That said, I did think him basically obliterating Blackheart was kinda cool.
Good enough. This is a weird conclusion. A bit rushed, and oversized despite that. Felt like the book was cancelled, and then they changed their mind at the last minute. Or maybe this was a sneak maxiseries turned ongoing.
This is some real Avatar Press-type stuff--lurid and gory and grimdark and, in my subjective opinion, a little juvenile. Not my cup of tea at all.
But setting aside my aversion to the style/tone, I think it's done pretty well. The plot develops with a vengeance, there's a touch of character development, and I'm optimistic about the groundwork laid for the next story.
It had some cool visuals. It just didn't feel like it really provided any satisfaction for the ending of this story. You didn't even see what happened with exhaust and blackheart was wrapped up in like 1 page. Pretty underwhelming.
