Ghost Rider #5 - Marvel


With this issue we get a little of the history of "Johnny Blaze". Lucifer lures him back to the Quentin Carnival where it all started. It's starts to bring back the memories of Roxanne, Johnny's love of his life. I don't know if he's actually supposed to learn something, or if Lucifer is just taunting him. But, what he really wants him to see is the old trailer that Johnny and Roxanne called home. I think he's trying to make it look like it's Roxanne's fault that he's the Ghost Rider. But Johnny doesn't get that. Of course he doesn't want to either. But either way, Johnny blows up the trailer, to try to take out Lucifer, and then heads off into the sunset on his bike of flames chasing after Lucifer's next incarnation. But, left behind in the rubble, is a bible. A bible that didn't burn, and doesn't have a scorch on it. But, we aren't going to find out this issue what that means. Javier Saltares steps in this issue to help out Mark Texeira on pencils. Mark actually does the finishes. But these two mesh together very well. And of course Daniel Way is still writing it. It's a great book.
