Waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the early 90s, at the height of the speculation boom, every publishing company was trying to churn out titles regardless of quality and everything grim n gritty was the favoured flavour of choiceSo what more grim n grittier than the Ghost Rider, eh?
Except that in this series, a spin off from the regular series, we have original GR Blaze now teaming up with someone or something who is purportedly GR but minus his human host, Dan ... Dan is apparently murdered by a half-demonic being called Blackout
Got it?
Even if you don't, not to worry. For once, this is a new series that may start smack in the middle of a bigger storyline but still easy enough to follow. SPOILER ALERT What you need to know is as per above. Dan is current GR but got killed and for some reason the GR entity didn't disappear back to magic land. Then Blaze is now married with 2 kids and making a living with the circus
Right smack in the middle of this, we see the resurrection of the first evil of the world (more or less) in the form of demonic mother: Lilith. She has been trapped for eons and is finally freed and as an opening move, she calls back her children from the mortal world to join her in burning the mortal world completely. Some of those appeared fast enough and so the tale is set
And that's what this issue is ... the return of Lilith and to show us how the odds are stacked against Blaze who is now a family man. Everything else happens in another issue of another comic or three before coming back to here in issue 2
