Another fantastic book by Daniel Way and Javier Saltares. I say that because . . sadly . . next issue, our creative team is changing. Jason Aaron will be writing, and Roland Boschi will be doing the art. Neither of them are familiar to me. So, I really don't know what to expect. This issue pretty much wraps up the story-line that has been running through this title since issue #1. It turns out, the body that Johnny was having Dixie hold on to in the motel was one of the avatars that was brain-dead, but not dead dead. Does that make sense? There's something protruding from his head, and, I guess, his spinal cord is severed. Anyways, the reason he didn't just finish him off is because that way his power wouldn't be transferred to the one remaining one. Basically it's a divide and conquer thing. He's just going to have Dixie kill it at the same time he kills the last one. That way he doesn't have to take on all of the power. My only confusion is . . is this last avatar the one that was chained up under the bridge? And if not . . where's that one? So now, with that behind him, Johnny can focus on the story that Zadkiel has told him . . . last issue. He claims that the Ghost Rider is actually angelic in nature, and, since Johnny didn't know that, he has been manipulating him this whole time. So that's a perfect jumping on point for the new creative team. Johnny and Ghost Rider will be going in a new direction while they try to figure out how much of Zadkiel's story is true. And . . what they're going to do about it. He is afterall . . . the Spirit of Vengeance!
