They just need to watch their pacing and their Draculas a little closer. I'm still all in on this story arc, its featuring the best writing and art that the series has seen so far. Marquez also gives things a sense of scale that helps to give a sense of reality to some rather outlandish story beats. His rendition of the possessed Ghost Rider gives the character a terrifying presence that's far removed from how Reyes normally looks (yet is still appropriately reminiscent of Danilo Beyruth's work with the character). The artwork by Marquez is another homerun for the series, making this one of the best looking titles in Marvel's roster. Dracula is the weakest part of the issue, being overly cryptic in an issue that's filled with nothing but characters talking cryptically. The middle of the issue, taken up by the talk between Iron Man and Dracula, grinds the comic's momentum to a temporary halt. Versions in the past have been assembled by Kang, Immortus, Grim Reaper and the Grandmaster. Team Evolution The Legion of Unliving have reappeared. In fact, its only when the comic steers away from that does it falter. Vision and the Avengers were transported to Limbo and forced to fight the Legion of the Unliving, which included. The Legion of the Unliving are a collection of Avengers foes brought back to life by supernatural or cosmic forces as undead foes. The Legion of the Unliving was created by Steve Englehart, Sal Buscema and Joe Staton in 1974 and first appeared in The Avengers 131. The narration from Reyes in the opening pages is chilling and serves as the anchor for this issue, the thing that grounds the more outrageous elements.

The Robbie Reyes presented here is one that's been slowly falling into a hell of frustration, a fall now hastened by the magic of the Shadow Colonel. Those are details that do certainly need to be addressed, and I'm sure Aaron has a plan to do so. When the writing of the character is as good as it is here then it ultimately doesn't matter where Eli Morrow went or how Robbie used the Penance Stare. Its not been as clumsy a process as it might have been, though certain details had to this point been glossed over. Its been fascinating to watch Aaron slowly pull Reyes closer to the Spirit of Vengeance median, seemingly severing his ties with that outlier "in name only" status that was bestowed upon him by his creator, Felipe Smith. ![]() CHAIN REACTIONJason Aaron and David Marquez continue the war of the vampires with an interesting exploration of Robbie Reyes and a tense confrontation with Dracula.Īaron obviously has a fondness for Robbie Reyes that couples his past association with Ghost Rider as a broader concept.
