Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #1 is a strong enough start for this new era of the Spirit of Vengeance. There are a few dents in the cycle that stop it from being a timeless classic in Ghost Rider's arsenal but there's enough from Percy and Kim to have readers on board. Read Full Review

Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #1 is an interesting comic. If it just focused on the new host and got us there, the pacing would have picked up and it'd be far more entertaining to get to what we already knew was happening. The other improvement would have been to not spoil it at all and let readers be surprised. Finally, a better direction would have been to let it play out through the first arc with the reveal coming the fourth or fifth issue and again not spoiling it. That would have allowed Percy to better explore the Ghost Rider entity and its role in the Marvel Universe. As is, we get some cool ideas and an ending we knew was coming. In other words, it's a comic that doesn't deliver much beyond what we already knew. Read Full Review

Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #1 spends too much time setting up the mystery of who the new Ghost Rider will be, even though Marvel revealed it months ago. Because of that, this issue feels more like a prelude than a proper beginning to a new series and may fail to grab new or returning readers. Read Full Review

All in all, the first book in this series isn't awful but has nothing really special about it that stands out, especially for a book that's supposed to get you hooked on a particular character. Read Full Review

A sprawling script where nothing happens, combined with teases of really interesting hosts followed by the dullest possible choice just bums me out as a reader. Read Full Review

I liked how this issue started with Blaze being set up for death by Zarathos, so he would be free to find a new host. I'm not sure why he's driving Ketch's bike though. The second story of the overworked mom was good too, but then it falls off the rails and becomes just a smattering of scenes until the reveal at the end. I'm not sure if I'm too interested in where the story goes from here.

Was an ok idea, but didn't feel super exciting.

This was meh. If Mephisto could just command Zarathos out of Johnny at any time and send him hunting for a new host then why has that never happened before??? All the times GR was a pain in the ass for him and he just let him be??? This issue also just starts out with no references to the previous run and takes off at 100mph.

Oh for the love of!!!!! This has to be the candidate for the worst issue 1 Marvel has ever produced. The art was by numbers , the script by an idiot and if someone can please pass me an actual plot I would be grateful. I love the concept of Ghost Rider but to write it properly you really should tale it out the Marvel universe and actually bring horror to the table. This is cheap crap and I'm starting to loose all faith in where Marvel are going just now. Stop all these number 1's and start writing stories and drawing real art before the day day comes where you close your doors.
