I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

Ghost Rider - Heaven's on Fire #5 - Marvel
I like this story. There's a whole lot of stuff going on. But . . with only one issue to go . . I have no idea how this one is going to turn out. The whole thing with the Anti-Christ was a ruse. Caretaker failed to mention to Sister Sara that she herself is her own doorway to Heaven. So when he gets her by herself, he's got one of his own guys there who is a doorway to Hell. He does something to activate Sara's door, and now he's got a horde of demons, and who knows what else, pouring out of his guy and into Sara. I'm guessing that he wants to make his own play for Heaven. He probably figures that he can take Zadkiel out. Zadkiel, meanwhile, appears to have slain all the hosts of Heaven. Now, he's basically sitting around waiting for his power to build. The longer he has control of Heaven, the more powerful he gets. He's been playing around with what he can do with his powers now, but . . he can't wait to really muck about with things. And Johnny and Danny have finally started working together and have caught up with the gun-toting nuns. They've been protecting their doorway to Heaven, waiting for these two spirits of vengeance to show up so they can try to usurp Zadkiel. Upon arriving they make their presence known, but . . Zadkiel doesn't seem the least bit concerned. And Daimon Hellstorm and Jane Cutter, who have been held up in a carnival from hell, have finally caught up with Sister Sara. They're surprised by the scene that they walk in on. Hopefully they can get Sara out of the Anti-Christ's clutches. Jason Aaron is doing a great job with this story. Like I said, there's a whole lot going on, and I'm just not sure how we're going to reach a resolution next issue. Everybody is descending upon Heaven. Unfortunately, everyone also seems to be working form their own agenda. Together they might've been able to defeat Zadkiel . . together. I just don't know that they're going to be able to pull that off . . mutual cooperation and destruction in the face of annihilation. Jason's going to have to pull one out of his ass to wrap this up. Roland Boschi is the artist for this series, and in this book . . there's some amazing panels. Especially in the beginning. We've only got one issue to go, and it seems like Roland is really hitting his stride. Next issue should be pretty exciting and action packed. And then . . then we have to figure out where our characters go from there . . Johnny and Danny.
