Ghost Rider vs. Galactus #1 lives up to its title and then some, sprinkling in some deeper moments during the battle between the Spirit of Vengeance and the Devourer of Worlds. Read Full Review
I liked it. It was fun. I guess Ben not caring about the penance stare stare was out of character. Doesn’t matter to me that much. I was entertained and love the art.
What could have been a fun and wacky story crumbles apart when Ghost Rider kills with his penance stare. I get he's "vengeance' but Benjamin J Grimm, is standing right there! and has no problem with Blaze. Zero "justice" which is what Ben was trying to do before thsi murder happens right in front of him.
The subsequent scenes with Ghost Rider hitching a rocket ride, somehow finding Galactus in the depths of space and thier 'battle' all un-funned because of Ben's mischaracterization.
Adding in that this issue had two scenes that felt too much two John Byrne bits.
1) Doctor Strange successfully shut Galactus down using his version of a penance stare in FF #243 (so why did Blaze's fail?).
2) That it did fail more
Good cover
