I have always wondered if the superstar artists were fans ... at one time ... take for example Todd. He was huge on Marvel and even bigger in Image. Then he diversified in animations, movies and toys where he made a killing. And lately, he is back drawing Spawn etc ... but I wondered if he was a fan of any comics from the big Two from his youth ... and whether he occasionally draws them ... because his work is very stylized and though I am not a big fan of Spawn or his Amazing S work, here? Huge fan! Got two copies of every issue!!!This is a 2-issue arc. After the first chapter finish with the Lizard which was Todd's first time out as writer, he trims his words and gives us a much tighter storyline. I am glad it is 2 issues. One would have been too cramped and 5 or 6 too padded. This is perfect
Here we see an old Nemesis Goblin going bonkers as unholy fires touched him, transformed him into an actual walking, guttural muttering goblin on 2-legs. And he also felt that he is on the side of the angels as in literally out to save souls against the devilsSo to open his crusade, he recruits the innocents and in this case, kids! Naturally Spidey comes along to knock on his door and you can expect fisticuffs. As this was the 90s, and grim and gritty was in ... Ghost Rider was another hot commodity having many spin off titles and ... thus a natural to guest star here! But at least it makes sense as Ghost Rider looks demonic but is a man within trying hard to "protect the innocent" even though he is the Spirit of Vengeance ... or at least at this point, he still is/ was before his own origin went through upheavals in the years to come ...
These are two AWESOME issues. So go get it
