Comic Spot: Ghost Rider: Trail of Tears #3

Everything Garth Ennis wrote is good as gold. In Trail of Tears we are brought to the period right after the old american civil war, not to be confused with the just concluded Marvel civil war. Here instead of a ghost rider on motorbike, we have one riding a horse, a black horse at that.
And the stead is magnificently drawn. Surely reminds one of the nazgul from Lotr. Even the ghost rider is black hooded. The only difference is he use chains same as the present.

This is a limited series and this issue is the mid part as there are going to be 5 issues only. Here most of the story focuses the ghost rider having a time of his life hunting down the murderers that apparently murdered a whole family back in the previous issue. But the catchy stuff here is not in the storyline surely. The artwork is carefully crafted also seem to use something like computer graphics. After all its Clayton Crain.

The scene where ghost rider shoots flame from its eyes is something to behold. Surely nobody can survive the wrath of the ghost rider. The identity of the rider is still to be revealed but those that have read the previous 2 issues will have a rough idea who it is.
