When Jason Aaron (Scalped, Wolverine) took over the writing duties for Ghost Rider, he became saddled with one of Marvel's more maligned characters over the years. Needless to say, what he accomplishes with him is nothing short of a miracle, as Aaron uses nearly every bit of previous Ghost Rider continuity and mythos to his advantage to craft a grindhouse-esque saga of the damned Johnny Blaze. After learning he's been an unwitting pawn in the plot of rogue angel Zadkiel, Blaze takes on all comers as war prepares to strike in Heaven. In the mix are Blaze's estranged brother Danny Ketch (the 90s Ghost Rider), a new Caretaker, nunchuk-wielding nuns, Blackout, The Orb, Hellstorm, a new Vengeance and more besides. There's more to the overall story than what I've described here, but I simply can't do it justice enough. Darkly funny and startlingly violent, Jason Aaron made Ghost Rider worthwhile again, and this nice Omnibus is the best eay to experience it all. The only downside to Aaron's opus is the inconsistent artwork from the revolving team of Roland Boschi, Tony Moore, and Tan Eng Huat; but this is only a minor gripe at best. All in all, if you missed out on Jason Aaron's Ghost Rider run, now is your chace to experience it in full. You'll be happy that you did.

Jason Aaron gets it. Ghost Rider is an absolutely over-the-top concept: a bastard child of the 70s stunt cycle and Satanism horror movie craze, and probably not something to be taken too seriously. This collection contains Aaron's entire run on the title, and features almost everything that the Ghost Rider fan could possibly crave: road zombies, ninja nuns, hillbilly cannibals, demonic truckers, the all new Orb, Son of Satan, the return of Danny Ketch, and a goddamned motorcycle race around the world. The book was a good, ol' fashioned, flaming skull-headed HOOT, that gives many nods to Ghost Rider's past, while also introducing some wild new concepts to the character's story. The ending may seem a bit rushed for y'know . . . A WAR AGAINST HEAVEN, but I imagine that was a result of the title being cancelled prematurely. Still, its a fun book and really affordable compared to many of Marvel's omnibus volumes.

So I remember when Danny Ketch became the new Ghost Rider. it was the 90's and leather and spikes were the rage, oh and chains too! Later on the original Rider, Johnny Blaze returned and was revelaed to actually be Danny's long lost brother. They never had the power at the same time, until now. It's a decade later and now the Riders finally cross paths, and the flames are a flying!! It's a good book really, this is Jason Aaron's run and it picked up with the revealtion that Ghost Riders are not just the spirit of Vengeance but actually a fallen angel that was once God's avenging Angel. There's also a plot from a rogue Archangel trying to take over heaven, some cannabal ghosts, some old enemies return, and an army of Riders. This book has gotten me back into the chracter and I am now anxious to catch up on the current female Rider.
