All New Ghost Rider #8 Review

Robbie Reyes vs Johnny Blaze! This is the issue we’ve been waiting for. It not only sets us on a course for craziness, but it unleashes some devastating reveals that finally shows us a little more light on the spirit that’s inhabiting Robbie’s body.

With Johnny guest starring in this issue and with a bunch of thugs riding the aftermath of Mr. Hyde’s pills, we get expanded POVs again that broadened the story to more than just Robbie. We also finally get a culmination of Robbie’s actions. Although he did some good as the new Rider as he defended Hillrock Heights, he ultimately used his powers for a more personal gain. They had noble intentions, but Felipe Smith reveals just how dark this path for him can get. That being said, although Ghost Rider is usually a grim, lesson learning story (and I may be speaking too soon), Smith’s run continues to carry a hopeful tone that allows the comic to be full of action and fun.

All New Ghost Rider #8 may not be the best of the run thus far, but everywhere its going is something to look forward to. New readers, you still haven’t fallen too behind to catch up! This continues to be an eagerly awaited pickup on the pull list, so treat yo’self!
