I’ve always loved the concept of Ghost Rider, but never actually been able to get into the comics, which usually read like listless superhero horror. But Jason Aaron (Scalped) is three issues into his run now, and has nailed it. He gets that this book is about visceral supernatural grindhouse, and has been packing each issue with more entertainment than I ever even knew they were missing, and Roland Boschi’s artwork is like the kinetic offspring of Eduardo Risso and John Romita, Jr.. Gun-toting motorcycle nurses, a ghost-cannibal stretch of highway, decapitations, hellfire and brimstone, a spirit stallion and rebel angels…all at murderously high velocities. This book is exactly what a Ghost Rider comic should be.

The gang also discusses new (and old) releases including more PHONOGRAM, a (whole) lot of THOR, and SWORD (all by the excellent Kieron Gillon), BLACKEST NIGHT madness from DC, GREEN LANTERN, DAYTRIPPERS by Gabrial Ba and Fabian Moon, and a brief smattering of new releases including PUNISHERMAX #2, GHOST RIDER, REALM OF KINGS: IMPERIAL GUARD and others. Aaron finally reads the wonderful first six issues of ALL-STAR SUPERMAN, and we discuss Frank Quietly and some of his past projects.
