HELLFIRE AND DANNY KETCH!
The F.B.I. has cast out Johnny Blaze and Talia Warroad, maybe because they're too destructive and unmanageable?or maybe because there is some corruption present that reaches inside the very institution meant to protect us. As Johnny and Talia head down to Savannah to investigate a necropolis, there are hints of old friends and new foes on the horizon. A new chapter of horror is beginning for the Ghost Rider, and Danny Ketch is roaring up to speed in the rearview mirror.
Rated T+
It's a masterclass in character development, even though plot takes a backseat and to add the cherry on top, David Wachter's artwork as a fill-in guest on this issue matches the tone of the title totally, making for a well-rounded issue. Read Full Review
A super solid issue to kick of this new arc. Maybe I missed something, but I don't really remember Talia becoming romantically interested in Johnny, or even a relationship like that between the two of them being teased, until the last issue where Johnny mentioned it. I'm not completely opposed to it, but I was kind of hoping Talia and Johnny's relationship could have been non-romantic. Given, I wouldn't classify the two of them being in a proper relationship.
A good enough issue to keep me going. It's got good art and a good idea, it just lacks emotion and stakes.
While the issue itself is a slow, clunky read, it does good work by burying (literally and metaphorically) the last traces of Exhaust before this series really gets rolling on its next arc.
