They are all small towns. The kinds of places you'd never stop at except to get gas. Cars are abandoned. The houses and shops empty, the people seemingly vanished. Where did they go? The park might offer some clues. Among the peanut shells and abandoned stuffed animals, you can almost hear the music of the midway, the laughter - and the screams. Here is a blood-soaked flyer advertising a circus...of crime? Johnny Blaze is on their trail, just as Talia Warroad and the FBI close in on him, as a larger supernatural conspiracy begins to reveal itself.

Jul 11, 2022Percy's Ghost Rider in that regard is a true paradise that may come up lost for those overlooking the more darker corners of the Marvel Universe, but for those who enjoy the seedy underbelly of mysticism that lays in orrery of worlds that claims the 616, then Percy's "Ghost Rider is as exhilarating as a tour through a living necropolis like South Dakota or Minnesota, which Blaze visits in this very issue. Got to show the Midi love. Read Full Review

Jul 06, 2022Ghost Rider #4 goes hard as hell and makes no apologies for it. Ghost Rider is a hellishly fun horror show with a poetic underbelly. It's a comic that goes so extreme in its gore and horror you might need to keep the lights on while you read it. Read Full Review

Jul 06, 2022Bits and PiecesGhost Rider #4 is a welcome return to form with a horrific monster-of-the-month mission for the Spirit of Vengeance. The plot is basic, perhaps a little too basic, but it gets the job done, and the side story with the FBI agents keeps the tie to a larger threat down the road. The art team is putting out excellent work, so this will be a pleasing pick for horror and Ghost Rider fans alike. Read Full Review

I think we need to get going with the thing on his head soon. It's a good story. Always surprises me with how entertaining it is. I just think it needs to pick up on plot.

This issue drills down into its little horror vignette with a focus that really works for me. The art is super-detailed and expressive, though I thought the creepiest parts could be a little creepier. The script is a lot more restrained, less poetic than past issues. For me, at least, this tighter, more disciplined prose works much better than strained motorcycle analogies. (I'm also glad a thought was spared to emphasize that this is *not* standard operating procedure for the Circus of Crime.) If the one-and-done story is nicely turned out, the big picture plot might suffer a little for it. I still haven't bought into the arc/volume as a whole, but this issue is a nice reminder that the creators can do cool, scary stuff at the tactic more

This was more interesting than the last issue, though I still didn't feel like this one connected to the larger story that much. Again, this was still good. As was Smith's art throughout. I think he's a really good fit for this series.
