Ghost Rider (1990)

by Howard Mackie, Andy Kubert (Artist), Joe Kubert (Cover Art)

TWO BOOKS IN TOTAL. Both polybagged with posters. Rise of the Midnight Sons " Visions!" Guest-starring Doctor Strange. Written by Howard Mackie. Art by Andy Kubert and Joe Kubert. Ghost Rider captures two criminals who murdered an elderly woman and deposits them in the mausoleum where he has kept Blackout, Stern, and dozens of other criminals captive. At the Ketch house, Stacy and Gerard Dolan console Francis Ketch over Dan's disappearance. Dolan then gets a call that the police are about to arrest Ghost Rider and leaves to assist. At the cemetery, a man calling himself the Caretaker greets Johnny Blaze and Ghost Rider and tells them the police have surrounded the cemetery. Ghost Rider opens the mausoleum to find all of his captives dead, and, within the void, Dan's spirit experiences a vision given to him by Lilith of an assemblage of supernatural heroes. Blackout and Stern emerge from the crypt and Blackout bites Ghost Rider, causing to experience Lilith's vision as well. Blackout realizes Lilith is his mother and vows to find her. Blackout and Stern flee the mausoleum amidst police gunfire. Michael Badilino, the officer in charge, enters the mausoleum to arrest Ghost Rider, but Caretaker hits him with a shovel and leads Ghost Rider and Blaze through underground tunnels to an unoccupied section of the cemetery. Blackout attempts to flee on a bike Blaze stored in the cemetery, but flees on foot when Blaze sets the bike ablaze hellfire. Blaze, on the flaming bike, and Ghost Rider leave to meet with the Quentin Carnival in Rhode Island, and Caretaker asks the arriving Doctor Strange if he believes he can defeat Lilith.

The art is so good. Andy Kubert pencils with his father and comics legend Joe providing the finished lines. The Kubert run in Ghost Rider is so underrated.

The story of the a demon queen and her prophesied return was intriguing but I'm not sure it delivered on the hype. Time to find out.

I would like to go with 5 stars for the art alone, but the rest of the issues dragged it down to 3 stars overall for this book.

Even though I understand the nuances of The Spirit of Vengeance, I’m old school and find it weird seeing Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze as two separate entities. This begins the “Rise of The Midnight Sons” arc, and although the plot is a bit messy and asks you to jump to conclusions, I’m looking forward to its continuation.
