Ghost Rider: Heaven's On Fire
The acclaimed Ghost Rider run of writer Jason Aaron reaches its fever-pitched conclusion with six issues of insanity, all jam-packed with new villains, old allies, and the same old grindhouse action that Flamehead fans have come to know and love. The renegade angel Zadkiel is out to thwart Biblical prophecy by assassinating a young boy bred by Satanists to rule the world, so if Ghost Riders Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch are going to save the world, they'll first have to save the Anti-Christ. Guest-starring Hellstorm, the Son of Satan. Collects Ghost Heaven's On Fire #1-6

About the author
Jason Aaron
2,372 books1,685 followersJason Aaron grew up in a small town in Alabama. His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers, on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase books from spinner racks, some of which he still owns today.
Aaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. The story, which was published in Wolverine #175 (June 2002), gave him the opportunity to pitch subsequent ideas to editors.
In 2006, Aaron made a blind submission to DC/Vertigo, who published his first major work, the Vietnam War story The Other Side which was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Miniseries, and which Aaron regards as the "second time" he broke into the industry.
Following this, Vertigo asked him to pitch other ideas, which led to the series Scalped, a creator-owned series set on the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation and published by DC/Vertigo.
In 2007, Aaron wrote Ripclaw: Pilot Season for Top Cow Productions. Later that year, Marvel editor Axel Alonso, who was impressed by The Other Side and Scalped, hired Aaron to write issues of Wolverine, Black Panther and eventually, an extended run on Ghost Rider that began in April 2008. His continued work on Black Panther also included a tie-in to the company-wide crossover storyline along with a "Secret Invasion" with David Lapham in 2009.
In January 2008, he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, though it would not affect his work on Scalped. Later that July, he wrote the Penguin issue of The Joker's Asylum.
After a 4-issue stint on Wolverine in 2007, Aaron returned to the character with the ongoing series Wolverine: Weapon X, launched to coincide with the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Aaron commented, "With Wolverine: Weapon X we'll be trying to mix things up like that from arc to arc, so the first arc is a typical sort of black ops story but the second arc will jump right into the middle of a completely different genre," In 2010, the series was relaunched once again as simply Wolverine. He followed this with his current run on Thor: God of Thunder.

You aren’t going to find this version of the book of Revelations and the coming Apocalypse in grandma’s Guideposts. Zadkiel has apparently taken control of Heaven. And the two Ghost Riders, with help of an odd assortment of heroes (pistol packin’ nuns and Hellstorm, and some babe with a living gun) plan to take it back. There’s even a Newsie version of Ghostrider, who lends a hand.
Apparently, Jason Aaron has dug up every freaking villain that has ever faced off against Ghost Rider: The creepy eye-for-a-head Orb (by the way, he wets the bed); Marvel’s lame version of Scarecrow; the dude with demons for arms; Ghostrider’s evil twin, Vengeance and other various nogoodniks. Shades of that horrible second Ghostrider movie, Kid Antichrist also figures in this as well.
Aaron has a lot of moving pieces here, but is able to turn out a fairly coherent and amusing story.
When my son was little, one of his favorite action figures was Ghostrider. It was the one where Johnny Blaze’s head was on a spring. When he got all hot and righteous (“Cookie Monster beware my Penance Stare”), you just snapped on Ghostrider’s head and you were good to go.
The only problem was I never could locate his cycle, so we had to come up with alternate forms of transportation: Silver Surfer’s surfboard, the Fisher Price short bus (usually driven by Bobby Drake, the Iceman), or he got to ride the horsey from Toy Story 2 (that one: downright embarrassing).

The angel Zadkiel has toppled Heaven and, with the angels turned bad, it’s up to the demonic-looking but good Ghost Riders to unite and burn some wings! It’s Johnny Blaze, Danny Ketch and an army of Spirits of Vengeance against the celestial forces – the ultimate battle between good and evil!
Jason Aaron’s Ghost Rider series has been really, really good so it’s a bit disappointing that this final volume isn’t as good, if not better, than the others. It’s partly due to my expectations of thinking this was going to be almost entirely a battle between the Ghost Riders and Zadkiel, which does happen but only in the last issue, and partly because the story’s so scattered for most of the book. It also has the feeling that Jason Aaron’s trying to cram too much into this last volume so a lot of it feels rushed.
There’s a storyline featuring the Antichrist that doesn’t really go anywhere (though I liked that he looked like Eddie Munster!), the Deacon, the monstrously vicious man with the twin swords, and the gun nuns battle because why not? Meanwhile, Johnny and Danny battle everyone from Daimon Hellstorm, the son of Satan, to Trull the Mighty, an evil spirit that can possess machines, zombie bikers, an evil Ghost Rider, whose identity is never explained, and two of the lamest Marvel villains, a Scarecrow knockoff whose superpower is blackbirds (the actual birds) which attack, and The Orb, who’s got a giant eye for a head.
I suppose we’ve come full circle as the first book felt very Grindhouse-y and so does this last one. All the women dress like strippers, the plot is totally unrestrained, and Aaron is just gunning it with the over-the-top nonsense. Roland Boschi’s back as the artist and, while his art is still just ok, at least to me, the colours don’t really do him any favours – some of the pages look like they were coloured in with crayons!
The final battle itself is predictable and unimpressive and the aftermath is a series of single panels that summarises what everyone did next – again, leaving it to the last issue means everything is a bit too compressed. But it’s a fine way to end things I suppose – not immensely satisfying but not terrible either.
Though I continue to wonder how exactly Zadkiel was able to beat God - he’s GOD! I was hoping God would show up in a tank to blow up Zadkiel himself, accompanied maybe by Jesus rocking twin machine guns and a cigar. But I suppose there are some lines Marvel won’t cross (boo!).
Do check out Jason Aaron’s Ghost Rider series. It’s four volumes (or one giant omnibus) of some of the best stories I’ve seen the Spirit of Vengeance in and are hugely entertaining comics. The finale might be a bit weak but there’s a lot – a LOT – of good stuff throughout the series to recommend it.

A very fitting wrap up to Jason Aaron's Ghost Rider Saga. The Ghost Riders storm Heaven for the final battle with the evil Angel Zadkiel while Daimon Hellstrom, the Son of Satan, attempts to save the Antichrist, while also trying to kill at times. That part is a bit complicated, but basically Zadkiel is trying to rewrite the Book of Revelations, so do to that, he needs to eliminate the antichrist. This puts the good guys in the strange position of trying to save him.
A few issues I'm sure people had. For one thing, the final battle was a bit of letdown considering how long it had been built up. Also, I found it awesome that we got to see all the different Ghost Riders. Native American GR, Gangster GR, Semi Truck GR, Voodoo GR etc. However, it does make one wonder why we never saw any of those Ghost Riders before now. Or even heard of them. So there's a bit of retconning to deal with there and I'm rarely a fan. However, there's even a Ghost Rider riding a great white shark. The coolness of the various Ghost Riders allowed me to overlook the retconning.
Overall I enjoyed it, and it was a fairly "clean" wrap up. There was slight deus ex machina going on, but considering how unsatisfying some comic storylines end, this one was above average.

God lord this is awful!
Surely this is not the same brilliant Jason Aaron of the amazing "Scalped" series!
Will I even finish this?
...Maybe just to see it's awful conclusion.
UPDATE
Well it was worse than ok, really but I guess we all have our bad days.
And I am loyal to the character Ghost Rider, heh heh.

The premise was solid, but midway the story tries to be funny. It pits some unlikely allies against the bad guys. It's almost funny how evil even the good guys are. Almost. A lot of a$$ gets kicked in here, but none of it's funny. The sketchy artwork and, even worse, the rushed ending ruin the whole thing. It maybe needed another volume. Then again, maybe the author was unable to imagine a better ending. What else can you do with all that magic, religious stuff anyway? 'Heaven's on fire', indeed. So is this whole volume, but of the dumpster variety.
Zadkiel has conquered heaven. He is now working to prevent future events foretold in the Bible, like the apocalypse. Johnny and Sara must do the unthinkable - keep the Antichrist away from Zadkiel, to save the world. Unknown to them, Daimon Hellstorm, the son of Satan, and Jaine Cutter are tasked to do the same. The Antichrist is but a boy, but his death would allow Zadkiel to write the end of the world however he sees fit.

I really loved this miniseries and the main series before it , Ghost Rider(2006)
There were a couple of things I wished we had more of , like Kowalski who became Vengeance but his confrontation with Ghost Riders were a bit underwhelming , all that story of believing how Johnny ruined his life (who kinda did , unnecessarily) and wanting revenge but then becoming a Ghost Rider himself built up quite a story , but ended in an easy fight . Same with Blackout , he seemed to be the main no 1 villian in both gatherings of villians in this miniseries and the main series but here at the end he just fled without a fight and I didn't even get to know why he's working for Zadkiel and in the end going with Kid Blackheart ; maybe in another story I suppose ?
I loved that they gave the Orb more dialogues in this one , being able to get to know his character I kinda like him , I just wish we got a bit more demonstration of his powers or why he calls himself 'All New' Orb.
Final battle with Zadkiel was great even though it didn't last long . I also loved the new villians ; I enjoyed their battles against Ghost Riders and Daimon Hellstrom a lot. Sara and Jaine Cutter were really good supporting characters too.
The other thing I expected to happen here was Mary LeBow and Mister Eleven's story from Danny Ketch miniseries . Last time Mister Sinister was about to find her a new body cuz when Zadkiel won they needed to be careful or sth? I don't remember exactly but they didn't mention them anyway.
Don't forget the artstyle ; they certianly did a good job with that .
All in all I really enjoyed this miniseries, a nice ending to Vol 6 story arc

Ghost Riders is a fun ride but there's not much to it beyond absurdity and completely absurd scenarios. I don't hate it, but there's nothing really there to linger after the ridiculousness of everything taking place kinda settles. But hey if nothing else it makes for a fun plot to explain to someone else. Two Ghost Riders teaming up to save the antichrist from an overzealous angel who's assumed the role of God and wants to kill him early to prevent all of that future apocalypse stuff. Sign me up!
But in practice it's more of just an excuse to string together fight scenes, most of which are dull save for the final one. The characters are paper thin versions of their normal selves and it's just overall an average affair. One that you may still want to read if you want action with nothing else, but one that just doesn't stick around for long after you read it. I read it only about a month ago and the only scene that really sticks out in my mind is evil steam shovel fighting the Ghost Riders and the admittedly epic finale.
Read it if you like Ghost Riders Danny Ketch and Johnny Blaze. Probably not so much if you're looking to get introduced to the characters, or don't have any real familiarity with them.

Questa miniserie chiude non solo la run di Jason Aaron, ma segna la conclusione stessa di Ghost Rider vol. 6.
Sinceramente, mi aspettavo che la battaglia finale contro l'usurpatore del Paradiso (poca roba, insomma) durasse di più: la miniserie si concentra soprattutto su come Johnny Blaze e Caretaker possono giungere nel Regno dei Cieli (poca roba, parte seconda) per impedire che l'arcangelo Zadkiel, con il passare del tempo, divenga onnipotente. A loro si uniranno Danny Ketch (che ancora si tormenta per essere stato il responsabile materiale della vittoria di Zadkiel), Daimon Hellstrom (qui con un look molto diverso da quello che avrà in New Avengers), la sua ex (non Patsy Walker) e... l'Anticristo.
Nonostante il confronto con Zadkiel sia più breve di quanto ci si possa aspettare, mi ha comunque soddisfatto, e ho trovato la conclusione della serie piacevole.

Jason Aaron is one of the best superhero comics writers of all time. His Ghost Rider run takes occult high concept to its logical and illogical conclusions; it’s gritty, Gothic, Southern-fried, and fun, with plenty of ridiculous action sequences, flaming-motorcycle chase scenes, and stakes no less than Creation itself. I accidentally read this one out of order relative to the rest of Aaron’s run, and I am looking forward to a re-read with full context.
July 11, 2025
For entire series: I love his initial run, I feel that the setup is amazing, but I don’t know if he stuck the landing. I think the final 2 issues have too much ground to cover and kinda fail to give a rewarding conclusion. I like the characters and I think the, “that was sweet” meter was off the charts. Definitely turned me into a ghost rider fan. Simple story of defeat over an angel who overstepped his bounds
March 14, 2022
This run of Ghost Rider came highly recommended, but I guess I should have looked into it more. It was not really my style, and the finale here is especially weak, being all over the place and going nowhere until the last issue where the conclusion is rushed.
February 12, 2018
Kind of a disappointment after all the hype. The "war" on heaven is the very last issue. The book is entertaining, with lots going on before the finale, but for all the talk this series has done of building up big bad, there's not much to it.
April 23, 2022
That was awesome! Why was that awesome?
June 10, 2023
This is the ending of the Jason Aaron run of ghost rider and I feel as though it is predictable and fizzles out. Disappointing as the main run has great twists and turns
July 27, 2014
I used to be a huge Ghostrider fan back in the day, but got out of it when the modern one came out, so I came into this collection without knowing a lot about what has happened. (minus the brief details in the movies which seems to mirror the comics)
Heaven's on Fire brings together a lot of characters from the Ghostrider series, and it was nice to see them in this collection. (A Daimon Hellstrom was nice to see, and done really well for this comic unlike his current modern incarnation) The villains were nice to see as well, and Jason Aaron's choices in the characters worked really well.
The build up to the climactic battle was amazing and handled really well. Aaron presented a good series of journeys and conquests that culminated to what should have been a final epic clash between two Ghostriders and the angel that created them. However, the final battle ends up being significantly less amazing as it should be. In fact, the ending feels almost deus ex machina in both its shortness and execution. Where the reader expects a glorious battle, they are instead treated to an ass kicking, a memory, and then...
Still, I really enjoyed this collection despite the ending. Roland Boschi's art is perfect for this collection. It captures the right level of grim supernatural feeling for the characters and situations contained within. The lines are sharp, the perspectives are handled with a flurry of action, and the Ghostriders themselves are handled with the right amount of detail.
All in all, this is a good story for any fan of the Paranormal genre or Ghostrider himself. I'm happy I purchased it and found it very enjoyable. All in all a good read, and one that I am glad I have in my collection.

Finished reading this graphic novel on my flight from Sarawak to Kuala Lumpur. The story was alright - I mean where else will you get a Marvel comic book where a deranged angel takes over God's thrones and powers, and you have an entire team of Ghost Riders going up to heaven to fight him off.
Also, with the Son of Satan having lead the creatures from hell to an attack in heaven as well - this story really does play around with religion!
However the ending was rushed, the climatic battle was disappointing (there wasn't one!) and most of all the art was terrible - definitely not up to par with previous ones.

Writer Jason Aaron continues to take things a over-the-top with his concluding Ghost Rider volume. Much like the television show Supernatural the question is raised what if God isn't paying attention and the angels decide to run things? Well things almost literally go to Hell, and while improable our heroes do triumph. If you are an easily offended Catholic you might want to avoid these books. The angels aren't all good, the demons aren't all bad, and humans are possibly more evil than both. BTW there is brief reaffimation of the importance of love and family.

This short run of Marvel's Ghost Rider includes two whole Ghost Riders! The brothers must overcome their differences and learn to work together to defeat the Antichrist. They also enlist the help of the son of Satan, Damon Hellstrom.
The book becomes more of a Hellstrom book, he seems to be the focus a majority of the time. The Ghost Rider brothers are too busy bickering to really get anything done so Hellstrom runs off and does it all for them.

This was just a mess. It doesn't make a lot of sense (perhaps it makes more if you have been following Ghost Rider comics prior to it, but I have no way of knowing which ones those are. It's got all the things I'm not fond of in Ghost Rider comics... devils, sexy nuns, ridiculousness. I can't honestly recommend this.
April 3, 2016
Aside from my not really knowing any of the characters, this was super pulpy and a fun read.
April 29, 2016
Everybody's in the pool for this collection. It's good enough, but I found myself wishing for more of a stronger direction either to the serious or the funny.

Loved the team-up of the brothers. Two Ghost-Riders always better than one.

Entertaining. Needed more Madcap.
