He mocks his name, relegates him to a supporting player in his own book, and makes him look like a gullible fool, easily manipulated by others as a stooge/pawn. The book definitely has an overly-contrived flavour to it.Īs anyone who’s read Ennis before knows he does not care for superheroes much - which is understating things! So I’m surprised he chose to write Ghost Rider especially as he doesn’t seem to like the character in the least. Worse, once we get to the end, the revelations only further muddy the waters leaving only more questions behind. The plot is too convoluted for a six-issue limited series - I know what Ghost Rider wants but it’s unclear what the majority of characters get out of doing whatever they’re doing. I love Garth Ennis but this Ghost Rider book isn’t among his best efforts. It’s a race against time full of vagueness and half-baked ideas! A couple of scheming angels free Johnny Blaze the Ghost Rider from Hell to stop a powerful demon, Kazann, from doing something evil on Earth before a couple of Heaven and Hell bounty hunters - Ruth the Archangel and Hoss the demon tracker-scout - do.
