Johnny Blaze, still reeling from his time in Hayden's Falls, seeks the counsel of a seer - named Necro the Tattooist - who uses his needle to bring dark truths to the surface. What follows is not only a wild tour through Ghost Rider's lost history, but also a warning about the future and an examination of the troubling weight of legacy.

Ghost Rider: Vengeance Forever #1 does a magnificent job paying tribute to all incarnations of the Ghost Rider. Read Full Review
Marvel celebrates 50 years of Ghost Rider right with Ghost Rider: Vengeance Forever. Cleverly done, the story celebrates multiple iterations of Ghost Rider while connecting Johnny Blaze to each experience. Whether or not this story will matter going forward remains to be seen, but it's not often you get a clip-show-style story that honors the past and doesn't feel like a cheap rehash. Read Full Review
Fighting evil with an evil bounty hunter has always been fascinating. Ghost Rider: Vengeance Forever starts by showing you just how cool and amazing it is to have a hero who fights evil not necessarily with honor. Fighting fire with fire if you will. This book was good and I can't wait to see who receives the devil's bounty hunter's wrath next. Read Full Review
Ghost Rider: Vengeance Forever #1 celebrates 50 years of a premise that embodies many captivating characters. For there is a terrific understanding that celebrating the existence of Ghost Rider shouldnt only be centred around Johhny Blaze or Danny Ketch. Whilst some have had more issues of been more integral to the lore, every single one of them have been involved in something huge and had fantastic stories told about them. This is done by a clever idea for a plot and wonderful art. But it also solidifies the fact that there is potential for another 50 years of Ghost Rider comics. Read Full Review
As with the main line, Vengeance Forever is dark and deeply personal, and even though it carries a T+ rating, a lot of the content within borders on the mature side. Read Full Review
Ghost Rider: Vengeance Forever #1 is a fun, dumb comic. The issue is exquisitely realized from Avatar Press (who is Bleeding Cool's publisher) alum Juan Jos Ryp, who'se detailed and vile style is perfect for Ghost Rider: Vengeance Forever #1. Read Full Review
It's a good collection of short ghost rider stories. Nothing groundbreaking. It does have some good art though.
I'm pretty sure they threw in that panel of a female witch turning into a Ghost Rider specifically to stop readers like me from complaining that this issue's sexist for excluding Alejandra Jones and Kushala. Guess what, IT DIDN'T WORK.
(Maybe it's a little racist, too? Not saying the creators went there consciously, but that Spirit o' Vengeance sure do love him some white dudes…)
The art's gorgeous, though.
