Shadowland: Ghost Rider #1

Part of Marvel's 2010 Shadowland crossover event, this one-shot pairs two of the Marvel Universe's most compelling figures of judgment and damnation. Clayton Crain's cover renders Ghost Rider — his skeletal, flame-wreathed form wrapped in heavy chains — looming in the foreground beneath the imposing scarlet silhouette of Daredevil, the two figures locked in an atmospheric tension that feels genuinely ominous. With Rob Williams scripting and Crain handling virtually every visual element of the interior as well, this is a handsome, cohesive package for fans of supernatural street-level Marvel.
