Garth Ennis and Clayton Crain return to their Ghost Rider saga. This miniseries takes us back to the U.S. Civil War, where a ex-slave named Caleb takes revenge on a gang of white “lawmen” who stole his freed family’s farm.
Caleb, a free man, manages to get farmland for his family. In a nearby battle, a confederate soldier named Travis Parham is critically wounded. Caleb finds the man and nurses him back to health. Years later, Travis returns to the farm to find Caleb and his family all killed by a white gang led by a man named Reagan.
Travis goes to seek revenge, discovering a trail of bloody crimes committed by Reagan’s gang. Zarathos then raises Caleb from the dead and he gets his vengeance. Together, the demon and the man murder Reagan’s gang.
It’s a super-violent, truly frightening portrayal of the vengeance demon.
I’ve read this book described as a prequel to “Road to Damnation,” but you don’t need to read one to understand the other and the connectivity is tenuous. In fact, although Caleb is referenced a few times in other GR books, this is pretty much self-contained.
Kinda surprise this isn’t higher. Probably the best ghost rider story imo
Really? Glad you like it!
