There is enough background for new readers to understand the plot, but the basics of Frank Castle’s history are only briefly touched upon. I will say that COSMIC GHOST RIDER #1 is not necessarily for new readers. Writer Donny Cates plays a lot with this sense of innocence, which works well for this story. After all, he viciously cuts the nose off a god (off-page) for that god’s part in the deaths of innocent children. More importantly, the plot delves into elements of Frank Castle’s ethics that give this story a necessary weight. In fact, the dialogue here almost always works, and most of it is rather funny. This Frank Castle comes across as far more cynical and sarcastic than his mainstream counterpart. This is definitely a contrived book, and it isn’t afraid to lean into that oddity.

Now, he has arrived in the present day of Marvel canon to bring his personal brand of fiery justice to the cosmos. Originally fighting against the Mad Titan, the Spirit of Vengeance-infused Castle eventually joined Thanos as his right hand. This character, a version of Frank Castle, comes from an alternate future timeline where Thanos defeated the heroes of the universe. In COSMIC GHOST RIDER #1, we witness the rise of the newest trans-universal visitor. This has been the case for characters like Miles Morales and Jimmy Hudson from Earth-1610. Sometimes, though, the various aspects of the multiverse can come to have a major impact on the main 616 Universe.

However, the deal was planned by William Rawlins and Ray Schoonover, and resulted in a shootout between the gangs. While Russo left them, the Castle family stayed at the park, however, unbeknownst to them, the Kitchen Irish, the Mexican Cartel, and the Dogs of Hell gathered at the park for a drug deal. Lisa asked Billy how'd he know that he was named after him if he was an orphan, Russo replied that she was too smart to be her dad's daughter and that he didn't know. Russo then told the family that he was named after Billy the Kid who was an orphan who used his wits and bravery to achieve. that his father lacked imagination and could have named his something else.
