Danny made a deal with the Devil . . they have to find the Anti-Christ, keep him safe, and then deliver him to the Devil. Sounds fairly simple. Right? Well, the problem is . . Zadkiel is getting so strong that he's starting to be able to change the landscape of the Earth. The 'doorways' are no longer where they used to be. Add to that the usual dysfunction of this joke of a family and . . the boys will require quite a bit of luck to pull this one off. So while Johnny and Danny are off arguing amongst themselves, Sara, Daimon Hellstorm and Jane Cutter are trying to fulfill their end of the bargain. Anyways, the church where they thought they could find there door ends up being moved to this little town that's been over-run by the carnival from hell. The book has a lot of neat things that pop up, machinations that have been put into play to try to stop Johnny and Danny, and the rest of their gang, from being successful. But . . there's not a whole lot of progress made on getting them in touch with Zadkiel. However, Sara and the AC do stumble upon the doorway, and AC is delivered to the devil. That's how the issue ends. So . . maybe next issue the devil will live up to his end of the bargain and deliver them all to Zadkiel's doorstep. However . . as an epilogue, there's more glue thrown into the mix. Apparently in the next issue we're also going to have to deal with gun-toting nuns, and zombie-bikers. It just keeps getting weirder and weirder. We still have 2 issues to go, so I doubt that Jason Aaron will give us to many answers next issue. Hopefully the story will progress some, but . . you know what they say, 'It's always darkest before the dawn.' Also the more this series progress' the more I like Roland Boschi's art. He gives us some interesting perspectives. Overall, I like this book. I don't understand why this couldn't have just been told in the regular Ghost Rider book, but . . I'm not an editor, so I don't make those decisions. I would imagine that there would be a new title when this is all over, with a changed lead character. But . . I'm only guessing. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
