I review the heck out of "Ghost Rider" #35 over at CBR. You should probably read the comic, read my review, then come back here and say, "you were right about everything! How can you be so right?"
Recently reviewed by me at CBR: Ghost Rider #30, about which I write the following sentences: "Aaron has established what he terms (in the letters page, at least) the 'Ghost Rider Survival Squad' -- the last remaining spirits of vengeance who stand united against the threat of Danny Ketch. I have to admit: Aaron trapped me into thinking that this comic was starting to fall into a rut. The first half of this issue is pretty straightforward spirit-of-vengeance-on-spirit-of-vengeance action. The bizarre look of the characters make it visually interesting, but there's not much more than an extended series of fight and flight scenes for the first dozen pages. But halfway through 'Ghost Rider' #30, Aaron and Huat reveal a new layer of meaning, and show a different side of the Ghost Rider mythology in spectacular fashion."
Recently reviewed by me at CBR: Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch #1, about which I write the following sentences: "In addition, Spurrier's dialogue lacks the muscular wit that we see in Jason Aaron's comic book work. Danny Ketch says stuff like, 'I'm not hungy at all.' Pause. 'I'm starving.' And that's supposed to be an insightful comment on his inner turmoil. The whole issue is full of flat dialogue, oblique narration, and dry exposition. It feels lifeless and dull, even when the plot turns interesting and Ketch regains the Ghost Rider power temporarily. The sight of a smoldering, but not flaming, Ghost Rider is Saltares's best moment in the issue, and since the entire purpose of this series is to show how Ketch got his groove back, it seems to finally get interesting at that point. But it's all 'Hrn' and 'HaHa' and 'Yakkk' and onomatopoetics from Spurrier after that."
Recently reviewed by me at CBR: Ghost Rider #26, about which I write the following sentences: "Danny Ketch's motorcycle in the background of page three is the only thing that gives it away as a 'Ghost Rider' comic. Ketch himself is on the page, smack in the foreground, but Tan Eng Huat's expressive line and twisted anatomy render him almost unrecognizable. That's okay though, because we can see the bike, and his identity is pretty clear by the context. But the rest of the characters on the page? They look like they stepped straight out of the Brotherhood of Dada Auxiliary. They are Morrison rejects, and their presence here livens up the comic to a gleefully twisted level. If you're interested -- and who wouldn't be? -- the characters are the all-new Orb, dressed like an orange Evel Knievil with a giant eyeball instead of a head; Doghead, part man and mostly pit bull; Death Ninja, the zombie ninja dressed in crimson; and Blackout, with the braided white hair and purple trenchcoat. Based on the dialogue, I'm guessing some or all of these characters have appeared before. But they're new to me, and they are great additions to Aaron's menagerie."
