Comic Review Dana Place

Ghost Rider #1

Writer: Daniel Way
Breakdowns: Javier Saltares
Finishes: Marx Texeira
Colors: Dan Brown



Plot: Johnny Blaze is deceived by the Devil again and in his anger he runs away from him, running into a demon that escaped the pit. When he finds out that the demon has caught the ire of the Devil, he decides to help the demon to escape. He quickly learns that the demon knows a secret that could definitely help Ghost Rider escape from Hell.

Review: I was really looking forward to picking this up and while the story was decent, but not remarkable, the art really knocked me on my butt. Each of the characters were really fleshed out and the Ghost Rider seemed to just jump off of the page at me. It was like an issue of cool Ghost Rider pinups mixed with cool shots of the Devil and a demon with the looks and personality of “Slimer” from Ghostbusters. If you are a fan of Ghost Rider or just want a cool book of art, check out this book.
