Hey there, book lovers! It’s your old pal, Ninetoes, coming to you from Ninetoes Loves Books Headquarters. Today, I am looking at Benjamin Percy’s Ghost Rider/ Wolverine: Weapons of Vengeance. I have coffee in my system and my thinking cap on, so let’s get to it!

When I was a kid, money was tight, so if I got comic books, I economized and got titles like The Justice League of America, The Avengers, Marvel Team-Up, and books featuring more than one hero. I was a huge Ghost Rider fan, and I loved The X-Men. I remember the days when Wolverine stole the show (is he still doing that?), and never in my wildest imagination would I ever dream of a team-up between Ghost Rider and Wolverine, yet here we are.

An evil entity has taken over a child, and wherever he goes, he leaves grotesque works of art. Wolverine has encountered this child, and so has Ghost Rider. At one point, while they are hunting this dark entity, they get into a tussle. They find they are working to the same end and join forces. Years pass, and the entity is now hunting mutants. It is time for Wolverine and Ghost Rider to saddle up (on motorcycles) and finish what they started.

The story is fantastic. Percy really pushed the limits of our imagination, and Shaw’s art filled in the blanks spectacularly. I had great expectations going into this book, and I was rewarded in ways I did not expect. I thought I was prepared for anything, but I was mistaken, and this is a good thing. I mean, HELLVERINE…really? Holy cow, what an experience. Picture the Ghost Rider, but as Wolverine. Yeah…that. I mean…it left me at a loss for words.

I heard this book referred to as a Wolverine horror comic, and it fits. This may not be a book for the little ones, so parents, please be advised. And Hollywood, PAY ATTENTION!!!! You are looking for your next money maker, here it is, just do not mess it up!

This book is perfect for Wolverine fans, Ghost Rider fans, those who love the macabre, and anyone looking for a great story coupled with great artwork.

I give this 5+ bookmarks out of 5!
