This issue is a conclusion to Brisson’s earlier run on Ghost Rider, and nicely wraps up most of the outstanding plotlines as well as offering some important changes to the status quo in Blaze and co’s life, as well as the more general backdrop of Hell itself. Gorgeous visuals, demons, symbiotes and Ghost Rider going head to head, an action packed comic that fans will love, but will appeal to fans of King in Black as well as just Ghost Rider. If you only pick up one tie-in issue to King in Black make it this one, it won’t disappoint. Read Full Review

King in Black Ghost Rider #1 isn't a tie-in issue to be overshadowed by the main event, it's a powerful elevation of a story that deserves to be back in its rightful ongoing series. Read Full Review

Frigeri delivers some beautiful art throughout the issue. The characters and action are beautifully done and filled with detail. Read Full Review

King In Black: Ghost Rider completes the Ed Brisson Ghost Rider saga after several delays; and it feels pretty good despite some of the bad undertones. Read Full Review

Not having read a ton of the King in Black series, I am not up to date with everything that is going on. For this book, the Knull stuff feels like a distraction from the main ideas that are the focus of the book. It is good seeing Johnny Blaze back in the saddle so to speak. Read Full Review

King in Black: Ghost Rider #1 serves as an interesting crossover between the spirit of vengeance and the otherworldly symbiote army of Knull. More importantly, it ties up a few loose ends for Ghost Rider and opens the door for more stories. It's unfortunate that that series was cut short, as there's clearly plenty of gas in the tank (no pun intended). Is it too much to ask for more demonic horror in the Marvel Universe? Judging from this one-shot, there is definitely some potential. Read Full Review

King In Black: Ghost Rider #1 gives Ed Brisson the chance to conclude the story he started in his Ghost Rider series. You get demons, symbiote dragons, and Ghost Rider all illustrated by Juan Frigeri and great colors by Jason Keith. The comic takes advantage of the wider King In Black event to resolve most of the plot lines from Brisson's previous Ghost Rider series here. Of course, some parts of the story feel rushed and force certain resolutions to happen. Overall, fans of Ed Brisson's Ghost Rider series will find some payoff here, even if it's not the strongest it could be. Read Full Review

King in Black: Ghost Rider #1 one-shot does exactly what you are expecting, which is not a good or bad thing in particular. Brisson does what needs to be done to set the story he was telling previously straight and to bring some pieces back together to wrap everything up nicely. Read Full Review

Great art! Check. Good writing and handling of the characters? Check. This is a solid enough book, but like a majority of the King in Black side-stories, tie-ins and one-shots, it doesn't do anything for the event its supposed to be connected to. Oddly, it DOES serve as a decent Ghost Rider story all on its on, but even then it spends most of its time catching you up on what has already happened in the Ghost Rider title before becoming a free-for-all between Ghost Rider and friends and the symbiote-demon horde that show up.

King in Black: Ghost Rider #1 is an important book for Ghost Rider fans. Pivotal events take place as the future of Hell and demons is hinted at and characters reveal new identities. The art and action create a visually exciting battle, and there are some fantastic pieces of dialogue. The pace may be too disjointed with the sudden stop and start aspect of the structure, draining the momentum of the issue. It also may be difficult for readers just jumping into this comic who are unfamiliar with recent events regarding the character and series. Read Full Review

It's an issue that has more to do with the current run of Ghost Rider than it does the ongoing "King in Black" saga. As such, it's worth the skip if you're solely looking to keep up with the larger "King in Black" story on its own. Read Full Review

L after L for Ghost Rider, but he still made it look cool. It would have been nice for an announcement of another Brisson led run after this one-shot, you know like the Valkyries got or the surprisingly good Union, but Marvel knows where to put their money right? How many times have they wen't bankrupt and lost property rights over the years?
Mephisto went from backseat bitching to a throne in hell, I learned symbiotes can infect demons, and the penance stare got an upgrade and a deadlier name. Fun, fun, fun all around. If only all tie-ins can be like this.

Yet another King in Black tie-in that doesn't really need to be a tie-in, but I'm fine with that - this is yet another issue that seems to wrap up the plot line of Brisson's Ghost Rider run, and does that well. It's a fun read which makes me wish there could be more of this.

This was pretty good. It wrapped up all the plot points from the Ghost Rider ongoing, and that was nice.

KiB serves admirably as an excuse to add lots of symbiote-fightin' action to this makeshift finale for the last Ghost Rider series. I recognize it's done well -- especially in the art -- but I never much liked the narrative priorities in that run, and they continue here. I would have liked a lot less Death Rider and a lot more Lilith.

Fine!
