About Heroes

Writer: Garth Ennis
Artwork: Clayton Crain

Now I’ve been a moderate Ghost Rider fan for a long time, simply put, I think he looks cool as…well…Hell. So I was a little hyped about the series when it was about to come out, more so when I heard that Garth Ennis was going to be the writer, and I was ecstatic to hear about Clayton Crain coming on to do the artwork. The series has just wrapped up with #6 by the Ennis/Crain team and it was exactly what I expected from the two of them. No holds bar antics courtesy of Ennis. And the wicked acid trip of Crain, who seems to be one of the best at drawing horribly disfigured creatures with lots of tentacles and weird body parts. The story was good overall, it drug a little bit in the middle, but picked way up at the end once the (celestial) shit hit the (earthly-plain) fan. Ghost Rider was not the character that pulled the book together, in my opinion, the antics between demon and angel is what kept me turning the pages, Ghost Rider seemed to almost take a backseat to the warring worlds lead baddies between Hoss and whatever that Angel chicks name was (?). Now that its over I can breathe a sigh of relief to know that a contemporary Ghost Rider book can be done well and look forward to the work of Ennis and Crain again when they tackle another cycle riding knight of the underworld, Spirit of Vengeance!
