While the eponymous character is thrown to the backburner this issue, giving readers plenty of exposition on one of Marvel's new favorites is a welcome (and needed) change of pace. Read Full Review
Ghost Rider #18 is the perfect overview of Talia and her personality, showing what makes her tick and the demons she continually faces every day. For anyone who loves the character, this is a must buy. If youre unfamiliar with the character but love horror stories, its also a must buy. There are several chilling scenes throughout the book and it's a great set-up for the storyline kicking off next issue. Read Full Review
Good.work on Talia. Gave me an appreciation for her character. As always there was some great art.
Not a bad issue here, but far from this run's strongest. I do appreciate Percy diving more into Talia's backstory, but I just didn't find it incredibly interesting, unfortunately. It had some strong points, but I just wish there was more for me to latch onto. It didn't help that I wasn't always into Nieto's art either. I'm really glad to see that Cory Smith is supposed to return in the next issue.
