Spirits of Vengeance and the Champions Reunited for Marvel Legacy

So, lots of information has been released this week about the two Ghost Rider related titles that are part of Marvel's fall "Legacy" relaunch.  ICEMAN, by writer Sina Grace and artist Robert Gill, are reuniting the Champions, including Johnny Blaze, for a two-issue storyline!  Meanwhile, what everyone assumed was a new ongoing SPIRITS OF VENGEANCE series is actually a 5-issue mini-series by writer Victor Gischler and artist David Baldeon.  Huh, didn't see the mini-series news coming, but I think I prefer that over it being launched as an ongoing series and then get cancelled 5 issues in like the last GHOST RIDER series.  Anyway, here's the solicitation artwork and text for both books!

SPIRITS OF VENGEANCE #1 (of 5)

WAR AT THE GATES OF HELL Part 1
A dead angel. A silver bullet. A kept promise. For ages, the war between Heaven and Hell raged in the unseen corners of society, both sides in delicate balance that could topple if the right weapons were in the wrong hands… When an undercover angel is murdered, Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider, must find the killers and punish them…But this time he won’t do it alone: A deadly team must rise from the darkest depths of the Marvel Universe to form an unholy alliance – HELLSTORM! SATANA! BLADE! They are the SPIRITS OF VENGEANCE!

ICEMAN #6

COVER BY KEVIN WADA
CHAMPIONS REASSEMBLED
ICEMAN, one of the most powerful mutants within the Marvel Universe, discovers his powers and his outlook on life evolving. He needs to lead the charge with a team who stand proudly by his side in the war to “protect those who can’t protect themselves.” Hercules, Ghost Rider, Black Widow, Darkstar, and Angel re-unite with Marvel’s fearless frozen fighter setting ICEMAN on an all-new path. As more unexpected enemies emerge, can Bobby mature into the warrior he’s destined to become? Hope he survives the experience!
