I don't think Ghost Rider is for me. I gave 'Apocalypse Soon' two stars, so this one is more of a 2.5 Stars because it was definitely better (it had more of a plot) but it just didn't grab me.

In this one the Ghost Rider is in control and his plan to destroy Lucifer is finally coming together, but he learns a few 'revelations' about what happened to him, and who is behind it. There are also these angel guys but I really didn't understand what or who they actually were.. but I think they were trying to atone for picking the wrong side in the war on heaven? As I said before I'm not to Ghost Rider so I may have missed something there (perhaps if I'd read volumes 1-2 I'd be more clued in!)!

This is longer than the previous volume, and like I said it had a story than ran all the way through it just wasn't very interesting to me (I got enough angels and demons from watching Supernatural!). It's a bit repetitive in that all Ghost Rider seems to do is chase down demons and then use his hellfire and infinite chains to kill them. Too much empty action and no substance to the story (but again maybe if I'd not jumped in half way I'd enjoy it more). I'm not a fan of the artwork either, that's also put me off the series. It's just not for me!

I guess I can see why other people like it but I'll be leaving Johnny Blaze here.
