Ghost Riders: Heavens on Fire #5
Just an amazing issue. This is by far the most slept-on comic going. I'm shocked that no one is reviewing/blogging/responding/buying or keeping this great run from Jason Aaron going. I mean...this book has everything in it. It's a b-movie dream. Perhaps it was a mistake making Ghost Rider(s) a 6-issue mini with a $4 tag. Maybe that's what's keeping even die-hard Aaron/GR fans away. Or maybe people are reading this quietly, accepting all this magically and keeping it at a low pro. The build-up in recent issues has been steady, but nothing as strong as the peak of Aaron's run. That can be erased. This confrontation between Ezekiel and the Riders is finally coming to a close, with all the players making an impact. The next issue should be grand-shattering, heart-melting and forever memorable.
Just a shame no one else will know.
4.5/5 Bags&Boards - Aaron's best issue of G.R. in at least 6-7 months.
