Ghost Rider and his weird Cameos!

[shakalooloo]

For those wondering what happened to Skrymir's corpse after Immortal Thor #1, or pondering where Danger is during this whole fall of Krakoa business, turns out they're in Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #1 this month, an overall very strange issue.






For context, the issue opens with the most blasé transfer of the Ghost Rider powers since Johnny just gave them away to some dude in a bar back in Volume 7. Mephisto just strips them from him. Yeah, turns out Mephisto could have done that at any time, which makes one wonder why he never did all the times that GR has thwarted his plans?

Anyway, Zarathos goes flying around the world and even into space, briefly possessing other people before moving on. He even possesses a BROOD at one point, so I guess they have souls now or something?

Naturally, he stops off to take control of a headless frost giant corpse.




So... Skrymir's vengeance was somehow justified since he was raging against an imposed monarchy?

Zarathos can also possess mechanoids, it seems.




Yeah, just a casual mass-murder on Danger's hands, no biggy.

The issue ends with Zarathos finding purchase in who I assume will be the host for the rest of this mini, and while I shan't post it here, the design really does look just like Spawn got a flaming skull head for himself!

Yes! There surely needs to be some resolution to the "and then..?" that results from her coming to her senses once back in control of her rage.

And surely True Orchis must be interested in a mechanoid so close to the X-Men!

These definitely feel like they deserve more attention than just brief snippets. Like… the spirit of vengeance possessing Skrymir feels like a big deal.
