Readers, Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 goes nowhere.

Overall, both artistic teams on each of their respectful stories were great compliments to one another and were strong highlights to this opening installment. Plus, his Cosmic Ghost Rider’s fiery appearance is much more abrasive than Cabal’s. However, where he shines is with his far-out character choices and dream design that’s pretty breathtaking. It’s just that his design is much more dark and eerie. Now, Jonas Scarf’s take isn’t bad by any stretch. Additionally, whether this was Phillips idea or Cabal’s, the town looks like it could be placed in the Mandalorian.

When Frank wakes up from his first dream and he zooms in on his face, that’s some realistic renderings right there! Very impressive! Additionally, Cabal and Espen Grundetjern design a very crisp and clean layout that makes the first story easy on the eyes. However, I’m really digging the way his old, grisly Frank looks too. Juann Cabal’s Cosmic Ghost Rider looks fantastic. Nevertheless, to anyone who has been a die-hard Cosmic Ghost Rider fan, most of these characters and events thrown at you in the comic will be an unorthodox trip down memory lane. You’ll simply get a smattering of events thrown at you in a chaotic dream fashion that won’t make much sense at all. To anyone unfamiliar with the Cosmic Ghost Rider looking for a place to jump on board, you won’t find that here. It’s showcasing all his past endeavors and trials, yet, not in a summarizing way. The premise of Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 appears to be throwing his past and guilt at him hand over fist. However, the problem with the second story is that it’s also focusing on Frank dreaming. Plus, many will read right over it because it’s ultimately a missing letter. We all make mistakes so I can’t completely knock the editors on that one. Nevertheless, readers move into another story that kicks off with a minor grammar/ spelling error in the second installment. Yet, shouldn’t the focus be more on the Cosmic Ghost Rider, where he’s been, and what he’s been up to? So, it would stand to reason that even though Cosmic Ghost Rider #1was just one dream after another, the bar and family are probably a mainstay in this series… at least you would think. Heck, Phillips spends a ton of time building up this town and the setting. But why spend all this time on an opener to wish it all away in a dream? And it’s a good chunk of the issue. Now, could this bar family actually be real? Sure. Why? Well, because we spend a good chunk of the beginning getting to know this family that works at a bar where Frank seems to help out only for it to come across as a dream before all is said and done. However, I’d wait and temper your expectations before you get the popcorn ready just yet. THE DISPATCHĬosmic Ghost Rideris back people.
