THE NEW GHOST RIDER!
There's a new Spirit of Vengeance in town and he's looking to run the place. There will be no stopping THIS rider. The mystery of Johnny Blaze's disappearance continues!
Rated T+
Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #2 further shows what you can do with the Ghost Rider with a different host. The grittier and darker edge led by Percy in recent years continues to flourish in a truly street-level supernatural yarn worthy of adult readers' time. Read Full Review
Blaze and his ally also felt like a bit of an afterthought here, but still Final Vengeance is working well on revving the engines of an interesting premise. Read Full Review
It's good enough to feel entertaing, but lacks the emotion to make me really care.
The story is fine but it's hard to care about the Hood. Replacing Johnny Blaze with the Hood just seems like a surefire way to lose money to me...
Also, since when can Mephisto just remove Ghost Rider from Johnny Blaze? Since when could the spirit just up and leave, going from host to host? Did the Ghost Rider lore just completely change off-panel?
Very bloody and dark which is what you want from a GR title but very little substance. I don't care if red hood asked or made a deal for the spirit of vengeance, it doesn't make sense why Mephisto never removed it from Johnny or Danny before now. Writers want it, so now it's a thing and common sense be damned I guess. This issue is not terrible but it's too far removed from the previous run and I still hate the constant start stop to get a sales bump on a new #1 issue...and I hate red hood.
