![]() ![]() ![]() The fight scenes are flawless in their execution, scrappy and intense. This makes him even more menacing and disturbing to look at. Early in the issue, the other Cosmic Ghost Rider loses his flames, and there is just the skull remaining. The attention to detail for these moments is immaculate, Even down to the placement of hands or motion lines. Vilanova mirrors panels across the locations, mimicking the situations for both Ghost Riders. The art is exceptional, featuring some incredible examples of storytelling. Fearless, powerful, and heroic, her battle with the other rider may be my favourite of the issue. And Valkyrie is the most awesome character in the series so far. His connection to Frank is evident but elevated by the finale of the issue. On the other side is the other Ghost Rider, one who still remains a deep mystery. But she is extremely feisty and does not back down from anyone. She is burning rage and full of desire for vengeance, still struggling to process everything that is going on. On his side of the cosmos is Axelle, the daughter of a man that died in the crossfire. He is so far removed from the Punisher at present, with much more of a heart. His powers are faulty and he doesn’t really want to fight. At the centre is Castle, who may be the weakest of the lot at present. The characters are showing their power much more in Cosmic Ghost Rider #3. The ending raises many more questions and is very surprising. Whilst the book bounces across the universe, the pacing is always consistent. And whilst it is set in the far future, that physicality grounds the comic. Each fight is filled with energy and weight, a streak of nastiness continuing to appear on these pages. One of the intruders is there to save lives, the other is to try and take one. Phillips balances the similarities between the scenes and the individual moments well. The comic cuts between Frank Castle and the other Ghost Rider, both in hugely stressful situations. The structure of the book is brilliant, split over different parts of the cosmos. The two Ghost Riders are in a battle at the same time, as Monark the Starstalker and Valkyrie both seek to kill them. Cosmic Ghost Rider #3 is published by Marvel Comics, written by Stephanie Phillips, art by Guiu Vilanova, colors by Espen Grundetjern, and letters by Travis Lanham. ![]()
