Ghost Rider #15
Revelations Part 2
Daniel Way – Writer
Javier Saltares – Artist
Mark Texeira – Inker
Synopsis:
The second chapter of Daniel Way’s Revelations shares its focus on three characters: Darlene, Johnny Blaze and Jack Daniels.
Darlene’s story concerns her sudden pregnancy. Soon she gives birth to a set of twins, each with a pair of angelic wings. Shortly afterwords, Darlene and her little angels begin on their mysterious “mission.”
Jack Daniels is the devil in disguise. He has just purchased a high profile sports stadium and plans to lure thousands of victims, uh… fans, by offering free entry to the next game. His intentions are devious.
Johnny Blaze, viewing the announcement on the news, recognizes the true identity of Jack Daniels and races, as Ghost Rider, to confront the deformed millionaire. But, Jack Daniels has an ace up his sleeve, a cage full of innocent little leaguers hidden safely away in an unspecified location.
Review:
Daniel Way’s run on Ghost Rider has been lest than stellar, offering steaming piles of dreck each month. In 15 issues, Johnny Blaze has been given little to no characterization at all. The Ghost Rider is also thoroughly 1 dimensional as well. The devil as a villain has rarely been this much of a bore.
This series lacks a compelling direction and has no supporting cast to speak of. It lacks personality, spark or innovations. It’s crap, month after month. Because of my love for the Ghost Rider character, I suffer through it. I’m not sure how much more I can take.
The plot of this storyline does nothing to draw you in and is a major disappointment. This title needs new blood quick. It needs a personality.
Unfortunately, the art, while professional, has not been lifting the title much above the low standards of the story. It feels too familiar and stale, which is a shame for Saltares and Texeira are tremendous artist.
Oh, well.
