Ghost Rider #3 is an example of this slump in action, unfortunately. While there are a lot of new developments unfolding, this issue turns out to be rather inconsequential. Evidently though, Ghost Rider is not really one of Marvels present priorities, but hopefully once Phase 3 wraps up we can start hearing plans for this much. Seeing Danny struggle to decide what needs to be done in the wake of such danger especially without the Spirit of Vengeance backing him up is without a doubt the highlight of the book. However, all of the events essentially result in the concrete establishment of what’s coming in the next issues. That effectively makes Ghost Rider #3 purely a set up issue. I understand that these types of issues are a product of the method of storytelling and might even suit the arc much better in a collected trade format. However, as a single issue, it’s difficult not to be disappointed. There are a couple of strong visuals where the tight script allowed for a chance to shine, but it’s mostly packed with dialogue filled panels as the story catches up to speed and lays the groundwork for what’s to come.

GHOST RIDER 3 SERIESĪnd in all honesty, a fill-in artist at only the third issue in the series didn’t exactly inspire a lot of hope. Yes, it’s exciting that we are going to see Johnny come face to face with Mephisto in Vegas, and I can’t wait to see how Danny plans to confront him. But none of that happens this issue, instead, it promises it’s coming very soon. I am certainly here for the ride and hopeful that this doesn’t become a trend, but after two such incredibly strong issues this one simply doesn’t maintain the momentum.
