Ghost Rider: The Road To Damnation

This is one of my FAVORITE Ghost Rider Series. Actually I'm brave enough to say that this is one of my FAVORITE books ever. This six part series alone was enough to get this biggest Ghost Rider Anti-Fan into Ghost Rider. I'm being redundant so I'll stop.

Anyways. Ya, Art is beautiful and the storyline gets pretty crazy.

    Sorry, have to disagree with you on this one. I thought the first issue had promise, but then it just got worse and worse for me. Great art though. But yeah, that was it.

    I liked it. The art was good. I don't really like how Ghost Rider spoke, using slang and all, but that's probably just me.

    I just wish Ghost Rider got more respect/better writers. I don't even know if he has an ongoing right now.

    It was great. Ennis really wrote better supporting characters. Look at this, and tell me if you think Way did a better job.

    Ghost Rider is pretty awful.

    Garth Ennis is one of my favorite writers and even he can't salvage the character as far as I'm concerned.

    I agree, Road to Damnation was great. Mostly because of the supporting characters, which were pretty awesome, and the art was fantastic too.

    Honestly, it's a good writer who can make you root for the obese texas demon rather then the hottie angel.

    Trail of Tears is pretty good too.

    Ghost Rider was more of a supporting character in this mini. And more then that nothing seemed to happen.

    Agreed. Towards the end of RtD you're almost rooting for hell (not bad take over the world hell...umm...good hell...).

    I love Ghost Rider and loved this book, but like others I felt that it fell apart in the last 2 issues or so. Introduced some great characters (like Hoss. Hope he shows up again). But I've seen this whole Heaven/Hell with one lone man caught in between thing before, and it's called Spawn.

    Great art though. Glad they brought the artist back for Trail of Tears, which so far is kicking ass.

    Yeah, but he never seems as clueless or overwhelmed as Spawn does. And as Ghostie did in this series.

    New Trail of Tears today. Solid awesome.
    Totally didn't see this twist coming with the Klan assholes coming back as demons. Hopefully things heat up next issue even more, instead of this becoming a typical super-power slugfest.

    Yeah but Ghost Rider has a pretty damn good (if unnoticed) history going for him. So even if the current incarnation of Blaze as Ghost Rider seems to be lacking, it's still better than Spawn because Spawn sucked from the get-go.

    Oh I agree. His history didn't go unnoticed by me, I've been waiting for a new Ghost Rider series for a while. I admit I liked the Ketch-GR better, cuz he always seemed to have it together. Also, cooler bike. But this new series has been good for a laugh so far.

    I wish they'd used Mephisto instead of Lucifer, though. Haven't seen Mephisto for a while...

    OK - I know nothing about Ghostrider... Aside from I just assumed that he was one of thse ideas that might have seemed pretty cool and edgy in the 80's, but didnt age well.

    Here's where I went wrong. I just watched the absolute camp-fest of the a movie that came out.

    I feel that it was SO bad, I should actually give the character a chance... Any GR stories anyone can suggest that could change my mind?

    Try the title of this thread.

    That movie was pretty damn bad... luckily my expectations were as low as they could possibly be, so I was able to still enjoy myself.

    This is the proper way to watch Ghost Rider

    All I wanted him to do was do the Penance Stare on a guy and he did, so I left happy

    The best part was when Ghost Riders in the Sky started playing
