Quarter Bin - Ghost Rider 1 vol. 3

This comic I read on my ipod touch. I find reading comics on the ipod is best when you are on the go or somewhere that you don't want to take your comics. The second good thing about this comic was it was a free download on the Marvel app. I love the free comics. I truly don't know of a better thing than free comics. Okay there probably is better things, but not when your board and only have an ipod with you.

So this comic rocked. I never read the 90's Dan Ketch Ghost Rider. I've never really been a big Ghost Rider fan at all. I just read the Ghost Rider Jason Aaron Omnibus a few months ago and it was nothing like this comic. They both are awesome in their own respects. I just love 90's comics. This comic was the best too. It was a double size issue. Twice as much story. I wrote a long explanation of the book earlier, but lost it. I hate computers sometimes. So this review is going to be much shorter and sweet.

Danny goes to Houdini's grave with his sister, Barbara. They run into a gang on the way there and Danny totally chickens out and has Barb save him. That's the start of the trouble. Then as they make it into the graveyard they over see two rival crime groups fighting. One is Deathwatch and his crew and the other is the Kingpin's crew. This comic is so tied into the marvel universe. The two groups see Danny and Barb. Barb get's shot with a arrow into the chest. Danny hides her in the junkyard next door. He finds a motorcycle in the junkyard. He's magically transformed into the Ghost Rider. He goes and fights the crime families. The local gang steals what the two crime families want. The cops show and see Ghost Rider and assume he's the bad guy. Which why wouldn't they he's got a flaming head in leather. Sounds evil to me. Ghost escapes and get's Barb to the hospital. We meet Danny's parents. He's dad is a cop and thinks Ghost Rider hurt his daughter. Tons more story happens with the local gang and crime families.

All and all I really liked this comic. I've never been a big Ghost Rider fan and haven't read much by him. The story wasn't all fighting and big muscles like most 90's comic. It was interesting. Danny wasn't sure about himself, but when the Ghost Rider took over things worked out. I felt like Danny could be a real person. He wasn't two dimensional. He had a little depth and I hope they build on that. One thing I wish was that I had a physical copy of the comic. I love the feel of paper between my hands vs the ipod. I see full pages instead of individual panels. I think I'll even start looking for these comics in quarter bins when I'm in comic shops. I would love to have this comic and maybe even the full run in my collection.

I give this comic 4 out of 5. It was a lot of fun to read.
