![]() The only major complaint that I have about this gorgeous and ridiculous collection is that it doesn’t include all of Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider, and while this series is written by Dennis Hallum and not Donny Cates, it should still have been included in full in my opinion. ![]() The assemblage collects Thanos (2016) #13-18, Cosmic Ghost Rider (2018) #1-5, Guardians of the Galaxy (2019) #1-6, and Thanos Annual (2018) , as well as materials from Thanos Legacy, Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider #1, and Wolverine: Black, White, & Blood #3. The Cosmic Ghost Rider by Donny Cates trade paperback is an impressive collection of stunning storytelling that is in many ways also a story about the terrible Mad Titan, with the Cosmic Ghost Rider quickly overshadowing Thanos as the character with more emotional complexity and development. Since the debut of the Cosmic Ghost Rider – a cosmically attuned and superpowered version of Earth-616’s antihero Punisher, or Frank Castle – in 2018’s Thanos #13, the ridiculously violent and hilarious cosmic being has become a fan favorite, inspiring four solo titles from writers Donny Cates, Dennis Hallum, Nick Giovannetti and Paul Scheer, and an ongoing one from writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Juann Cabal. ![]() This may be the easiest review I have ever written, because in many ways the Cosmic Ghost Rider by Donny Cates trade paperback is a near-perfect collection of comics, highlighting the delightful ridiculousness of its main character while grounding itself in heartbreaking emotional arcs and gorgeously unparalleled art from Geoff Shaw and others. ![]()
