X-Men 15.1 "Hell To Pay" Writer: Victor Gischler Artists: Will Conrad Features: Cyclops, Storm, Pixie, Danielle Moonstar, Gambit & the new female Ghost Rider The X-Men travel to a desert town to help out some old friends of Dani Moonstar. It turns out there's a woman who has been holding a group of demons inside her for several years. She's about to pass away so the residents of the town and her husband are concerned they'll be released and wreak havoc. Of course this happens and the x-men do what they can to combat this horde of monstrosities. The female Ghost Rider turns up to lend a helping hand provided the X-Men stay out of her way. With her assistance and Pixie finding a spell book they manage to lay the demons to rest. The Good: The art is pretty outstanding here and I like the dynamic of the X-Men used. Cyclops in particular is written pretty well as he offers some sarcasm in a funny situation and also gives Dani some heartfelt advice at the end. The Bad: It felt a little early for the new GR to be teaming up with other Marvel heroes. I think she's been in a total of 2 issues in the new Ghost Rider series. This is also a point one issue so it'll probably be forgotten in record time. Final Grade: It's only $2.99 so the price tag is decent. I haven't been following this series at all so I'm not sure if anything that went on here was influenced by earlier issues. If you're a diehard X-fan then pick it up. 6/10

Outstanding eh? I guess I judged a book by its cover because I passed on this due to the cover looking like shit. It totally turned me off.... that and I have not been caring about the series so far anyway.

Wait... We have a female Ghost Rider now? Stupid f**king Rule 63... Yep, someone named Adam took the spirit out of Blaze then the spirit choose the girl Adam raised, Alejandra to be the new Rider. Adam apparently has big plans for her, plans Mephisto actually has Blaze go to save her from. Although I do wonder if what Mephisto said is true, the whole Rider chapter of Blaze's life is over.

Thanks for that info, I was wondering why / how Ghost Rider was a woman now as I was reading this issue. Outstanding eh?

Yep the cover art is complete crap. Interior art is very good. Yeah that cover art was definitely terrible, the issue is much better inside though. Seems odd they would use such a terrible cover for a point1 issue since they are trying to push them as "jumping on" points. I guess somebody must have liked it.

Unfortunately it won't be happening soon. Williams said the girl will be the Rider for the foreseeable future. Johnny will act as her teacher, so to speak.
It's one of the reasons I haven't even read GR # 1 yet. I will do it at some point, I'm just not hyped about it.
