I don't review that one only because every month would be the same. I love it I love it I love it. And this book is slowly becoming that exact same sense. But since it's firmly entrenched in the Marvel Universe, please forgive my posturing when I say:

This is the best book Marvel produces. Hands down. Sorry X-Force.

It's amazing. To see a character that you've always loved be treated with respect FINALLY that he deserves. To be given a writer and artist who understand the complexities of doing a book that needs to be firmly entrenched in horror and grindhouse and just cranking it all up is what everybody's favorite comic character deserves. Even if your favorite comic character is Revanche or someone no one else likes, they all deserve the same respect these creators have shown the Ghost Rider.

And let's see how they do that.

The new Caretaker is a woman named Sara who is a nun. And when Johnny disrobes in the middle of the frozen wasteland to get warm, she turns her eyes and acts like a regular nun would act. She's perfect. Not overtly sexual. Not overtly asexual. She just deals with it.

Johnny goes on the offensive this time to stop Danny from doing something terrible, but he is too late. Danny is jumping all over the world, attacking the other Spirits of Vengeance, and we get a great taste of what's in store. The Tibetan man on the horse, who gets laughed at by Chinese military men before burning them down to ash, is awesome. Riding a flaming horse and wearing tibetan robes, he looks like perfection. Too bad he's put down so quickly by Danny.

But it all gives us a quick taste of what Aaron has in store. When Anna mentions to Johnny that he's blind for only thinking within the United States, as if God wouldn't need Spirits of Vengeance all over the world, we're left wondering, who else could there be? Is there one per continent? Per country? I CANNOT wait to find out.

So the blow-out between Johnny and Danny doesn't really completely happen here. They have words. Small fisticuffs. And then Danny does the impossible. He becomes his own Spirit of Zadkiel. And it is an awesome splash page.

That's what this book does. Gets the characters so right that I'm just excited every time I read it. And the back-up Saga of Danny Ketch was a nice touch. Something that saves you the trouble of reading through Wikipedia pages to find the info if you don't already know it (which I do thoroughly know as I've been reading since the first issue of Danny Ketch's book in the early 90s), but it was still a very nice refresher course.

And this is the book from Marvel everyone should be buying. Bar none. I love being bombastic in my praise, but the way he talks to the fans in the letters page is even pitch perfect. Having people decide the perfect cast for an offbeat Ghost Rider movie was awesome. Talking to the fans like real people was great. Explaining in one of the letters how fans used to always ask when Danny was coming back and now are asking when Vengeance is coming back (both questions I myself have asked him), makes you feel like you're part of the game.

And then his promises. Aaron told me Danny would be back. Now in the letters page, he mentions that Michael Badalino (VENGEANCE) will most certainly be back. Maybe not as Vengeance, but definitely as Mike. The only thing I hate about this book? I wanted to do everything he's done so far. And everything he will do I'm sure I would have done. To a degree.

I can only hope that Marvel likes my idea for a tie-in comic and runs with it. I would love to play within this world.
