This part was hilarious! Where are they going exactly? I couldn’t tell you. Instead of putting baby Thanos down, he straps him to his chest like a baby carrier and rides off. So Frank, feeling ashamed and appalled in his actions, makes a quick decision!Ĭates ends the issue with the Cosmic Ghost Rider having a change of heart. Even though it’s Thanos, he’s still a child. Surprisingly enough, baby Thanos overpowers the Cosmic Ghost Rider leading him to use his Penance Stare on the Mad Titan. BUT, Cates does it in his humorous style that still made it funny and exciting. I feel like this idea to a story has been done before. Taking Odin up on his offer to go anywhere he wants, the Cosmic Ghost Rider chooses to visit Thanos as a baby and kill him. The front orb of the bike looks more like a circle than a sphere of energy. The chain is supposed to look like it’s hot or on fire BUT it just seems red. AND, the Cosmic Ghost Rider’s bike and chain have no depth. I understand that Burnett is trying to show shock from the character, but it looks like an elderly, elongated Caillou with long white hair. Look at Frank’s face in the top right panel. However, as impressive as this story is, I still have a difficult time getting past the art. One that is the Punisher and the other that is the Cosmic Ghost Rider. Therefore, the way I understand it is that we technically have two Frank Castles in this timeline and continuity. When present-day Thanos reverted his timeline and rewrote the future, Odin pulled the Rider out of that timeline and sent him to Valhalla. ![]() ![]() Odin plucked the Cosmic Ghost Rider from the THANOS WINS timeline. Cates does a fantastic job of explaining everything SO WELL. The story continues as Odin gives Frank the opportunity to go back to any time and any place he wants. ![]() Maybe it’s because I’ve read VENOM or even DEATH OF THE INHUMANS by Cates giving me something else to compare COSMIC GHOST RIDER too? But, the art in this issue isn’t as good as the other titles mentioned. However, I’m not pleased with the art overall in this issue. The colors on the page above by Fabela are very bright and bring out the color of the Rainbow Bridge. After what appears to be a barroom brawl, Odin confronts Frank about his actions in Valhalla and has a sit down chat with him. What does Cates have in store for our Cosmic Ghost Rider and, can his writing overcome artistic struggles? Let’s find out! WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!!!ĭonny Cates opens the issue by getting the readers up to speed on Frank Castle, the deals he’s made, the people he’s worked for, and the dirty deeds he’s done. COSMIC GHOST RIDER # 1 written Donny Cates, art by Dylan Burnett, colors by Antonio Fabela, and letters by Clayton Cowles finally rides onto the shelves after his freakin’ awesome debut in Thanos Wins.
