Good stories in Marvel's "supernatural" department are hard to come by these days, or stories in that department in general actually. The Spirits of Vengeance mini-series has a lot of entertainment packed into 5 issues, a story almost on the scale of Jason Aaron's "Heaven's on Fire" Ghost Rider epic, except that it's crammed into 5 issues with a very rushed and anti-climactic ending. The artwork is mesmerizing though, and the characters of Johnny Blaze, Daimon Hellstrom and Satana are written very well. As much as I want more Blaze comics, I now want a series following the two children of Satan. However, Blade, the fourth member of this "team," is very under-utilized and felt very pointless on the grand scale of things, aside from maybe one scene that still had little impact on the overall story. I'm a sucker for any Marvel comics dealing with the "occult," although I'll admit when something actually sucks. That isn't the case for this series, though, as I will definitely be adding it to my collection.
