First of all, I want to say that I'm enjoying Roland Boschi's art more and more with every issue. His picture of Danny Ketch on the title page is awesome. Probably one of the best I've ever seen. That panel alone helped to sell me on this guy. Anyways, everybody is after the Anti-Christ right now because he's the only one that has the power to stand up to Zadkiel. Johnny, Sara, Hellstorm and Jaine are all trying to get the kid. But, unfortunately, so is Zadkiel. So our little group is constantly fighting his forces. But they're also fighting amongst themselves, too. Johnny and Sara know the importance of capturing the kid, but Hellstorm and Jaine just want to kill him and be done with it. They don't understand his importance. Plus Hellstorm and Jaine seem to have this relationship problem that they're trying to work out at the same time. It's actually kind of funny . . given the situation. They're fighting each other while they're fighting for their lives. That's some kind of passion. Anyways, while they're all off doing that, Danny is making a deal of his own on the side. Not for himself, but for the group and the mission that they're trying to accomplish. He promised Satan he'd keep the kid safe. "I got a plan to take Zadkiel down. The kid is the key. The devil wants to see Zadkiel fail as much as we do. He's going to help us. I made him a deal. We get the keys to Heaven, Johnny. At long last. We get our shot at revenge against the bastard who ruined our lives. And all it cost me was my soul." But then, that misfit band of terrorists that's on their tail . . it seems that Kowalski has joined up with them. And he also seems to be a Spirit of Vengeance now. Anyways, we got 4 more issues to ride this one out, so sit back and enjoy. Jason Aaron is weaving a story that should keep us in suspense all the way up to the final issue. These characters have a lot they have to overcome before any of this will be brought to a resolution. Oh yeah, we also get the 2nd half of the reprint of Ghost Rider #1. It's ok. I know it's a classic. But it just doesn't feel the same now. Not as cutting-edge as it was then. Of course that was 36 years ago. Wow . . does time fly!
