<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Buckle up gang
for the newest Episode of Inner Demons!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">On tonight’s
show we have yet another awesome mix of new and classic reviews.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">First up, Is
there a doctor in the house? We sure hope so, because in Ghost Rider # 6 (2022),
poor old Johnny needs some desperate help from Wolverine from the deadly
parasite trying to kill him. No need for a scalpel, though…Logan brought his own
set.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Next up in
New Fantastic Four #4, the Ghost Rider and Father John Priest deal with a
Mephisto monologue (the worst kind) and the rest of the team have their hands
full with Dark Human Torch.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Then, we go
back in time to feudal Japan with Avengers #58 and the Ghost Ronin. Marvel at the
prowess of this stoic warrior known as the ‘Sword Saint’ as he slays all
Mephisto’s forces with ease. They sure could have used this guy to fight evil over
the years!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif;">Now we jump
back to another Jason Aaron tale of Ghost Rider Issue 25 where Blaze tussles
with the fanatical Deacon. Watch those celestial blades JB…they slice and dice
Ghost Riders! Next, we have a landmark double-sized Issue 25 from the 90s.
Blackout gets the best of Poor Danny Ketch but is all hope lost for the Ghost

<br /></div>
<div align="left">In an abandoned junkyard, Robbie Reyes has a conversation with
the spirit responsible for transforming him into the Ghost Rider. The
spirit scoffs at the idea of being an angel or demon, claiming to be a
human that was killed. The spirit, who says its name is Eli, offers to
help Robbie by giving him the power to fight back against the injustice
in his life. Eli transforms Reyes into the Ghost Rider, and Robbie
agrees to join with the supernatural entity. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
The next day, Mr. Hyde's paramilitary team are on
the hunt for the missing back of pink pills that were stolen by the drug
dealer Grumpy. Hyde is furious, having come to Los Angeles to forge
himself a criminal empire after the mercenaries broke him out of prison
for his leadership. Elsewhere, Robbie attempts to buy a new wheelchair
for his brother Gabe, but refuses to be swindled by the owner of the
pawn shop. At school, Robbie is asked by his new teacher, Mr. Wakeford,
to take a look at his car's broken window. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Later, at the auto shop where he works, Robbie
finds his boss Canelo and the other employees dead from numerous gunshot
wounds. Eli speaks to Robbie, offering to help him find the people
responsible...but the car isn't in the garage. It was taken by Grumpy's
men, whose house is attacked by Hyde's soldiers. During the ensuing
gunfight, Grumpy ingests some of Hyde's pink pills. Back at the auto
shop, Robbie transforms into Ghost Rider and walks through a wall,
disappearing just as an ambulance arrives. Grumpy and two of his men
have escaped in the haunted car, with Grumpy himself suffering from a
gunshot wound. Reyes appears as part of the car, emerging from the roof
just as the two gangsters talk about how they killed Canelo. Consumed by
rage, Robbie stops the car and pulls the two men through the roof,
beating them both savagely. Afterward, the car shakes as Grumpy fully
transforms from the effects of the pills and rips his way out,
determined to kill Robbie. </div><div align="left"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCj_5uB6SC3iQCgTe-nwHlx1IZ7zyYqqad_nXEFlpr3NNK8Ez9zzzQXpXdVyOhQq3wJEPHwrbFaad1PFD7FlgvWioLqYcFj8kU1zGwUXm7-h83pBFT8OioERDKbURDGMViTlV58eL6pvsVY_ek4yZzt2IHed7HI_XzHrseaEVQeMOeOzoKJvK-obnyqQ/s1988/RCO004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1014" data-original-width="1988" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCj_5uB6SC3iQCgTe-nwHlx1IZ7zyYqqad_nXEFlpr3NNK8Ez9zzzQXpXdVyOhQq3wJEPHwrbFaad1PFD7FlgvWioLqYcFj8kU1zGwUXm7-h83pBFT8OioERDKbURDGMViTlV58eL6pvsVY_ek4yZzt2IHed7HI_XzHrseaEVQeMOeOzoKJvK-obnyqQ/w400-h204/RCO004.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sounds like a good deal, right?</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div><div align="left">The concept of there being many different Spirits of Vengeance,
each with their own appropriate vehicle, was introduced by writer Jason
Aaron in Ghost Rider (2006) # 27. That issue even showed a glimpse of a Ghost Rider that drove a muscle car similar to the one used by Robbie Reyes.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
The identity of the Spirit of Vengeance possessing
Reyes is revealed in this issue to be the soul of a man named Eli.
Robbie asks if Eli is an angel, which is a reference to the Spirits of
Vengeance being powered by Heaven, as introduced in Ghost Rider (2006) # 18, or a demon, which is of course the basis for Johnny Blaze's origin way back in Marvel Spotlight (1972) # 5. "Eli" is apparently neither, instead being the spirit of a murdered man whose story is revealed in All-New Ghost Rider (2014) # 8.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
While traditionally a foe of Captain America and the Avengers, Mr. Hyde has had three previous encounters with a Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch) in Ghost Rider (1990) # 4, Ghost Rider (1990) # 36, and Ghost Rider (1990) # 55.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left"><b>CHAIN REACTION</b></div><div align="left">
Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore further differentiate their new Ghost Rider from past incarnations in this third issue.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
I admit, when the first issue of this series was
released, I was interested but still skeptical about the concept. While
being superficially divergent, the story of Robbie Reyes wasn't much
different than we'd seen 15 years ago when Danny Ketch was introduced.
The second issue won me over considerably, and now this third issue has
sealed the deal. This book is flat-out <i><b>awesome</b></i>. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
The big revelation in this issue comes in the
first few pages, where Robbie has a conversation with his new haunted
car. I can see this part actually being difficult for some longtime
Ghost Rider fans to accept, that this Spirit of Vengeance comes from
neither Heaven nor Hell but via the ghost of a murdered man. Personally,
I had a harder time with Daniel Way's angel concept than I do with
this, and we all know how well Jason Aaron was able to sell that
previous idea. Furthermore, I see this as Smith taking that final giant
step to make his new Ghost Rider truly unique instead of just another in
a long lineage of flaming skulls. Regardless of where "Eli" comes from,
it still plays off the mandatory idea of overwhelming revenge, which is
absolutely essential for any Ghost Rider story regardless of the
trappings surrounding it. The ghost of a murdered man latching onto a
teen killed under similar circumstances as way for both of them to get
revenge on the evils of society, that's a pretty great story hook. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
With each new issue, I like Robbie Reyes more and
more. I've mentioned before that he's a character that's seething with
anger under the surface, and all of that is brought to the fore in this
issue. It doesn't take a whole lot of convincing to get him on board
with what Eli is selling him (and I'm sure there's a big catch to all of
this waiting in the wings), and you can see his patience getting
thinner as the issue progresses. The bullies in his school that stole
his brother's wheelchair will, I assume, get their comeuppance in due
time because of what Robbie goes through in this book's second half. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Let's talk about the artwork, which seems to be
another aspect of this series that Ghost Rider fans are slowly adjusting
to. As with the story, the work by Tradd Moore in this issue surpasses
what's come in the previous two issues as he becomes more comfortable
with the characters. I'm still not too keen on how he draws Mr. Hyde,
but that's really the only negative remark I have to make. His Ghost
Rider is astounding and there are so many things I could mention to back
up that statement. You've got the new symbiotic relationship with the
car, merging with it to pass through its hood in the driver seat and to
step into shadows and emerge as part of the car itself. As with Blaze's
motorcycle, Reyes' car is a character all by itself (not even counting
the Eli personality), appearing and disappearing at will and literally
coming to life. Moore also does great when it comes to Reyes
transforming in the auto garage, you can see the anguish in the kid's
face as he slowly gives over to his desire for vengeance. It's something
that builds, actually, on each page following the junkyard scene. All
around Robbie are little sparks of flame on the peripherals of the
panels, it's such a subtle touch that I didn't even notice it the first
time I read through the issue, it's almost subliminal. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Marvel released a lot of great series as part
of "All-New Marvel NOW!" but
All-New Ghost Rider was definitely the best of the bunch. </div>

<div align="left">On the 101 Freeway in Downtown Los Angeles, the new Ghost Rider
chases after the paramilitary team that shot him and left him for dead.
They fire bullets at the flaming car with no effect, and when they fire a
missile the explosion blows the car into the air, only for it to land
back on its wheels to continue the chase. The Rider pulls up alongside
the fourth of the soldiers' vans and drives straight through it,
destroying it. The other three vans speed off as the Ghost Rider's car
drives off the bridge and explodes in mid-air. Later, the soldiers are
assembled in front of their employer, Dr. Calvin Zabo, who is happy to
see his duffel bags filled with pills returned to him after they had
been stolen by some gang members. He notices that one of the bags is
still missing and transforms into Mr. Hyde, killing the leader of the
mercenaries and appointing a new one in command to find the missing bag.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
The next morning, Robbie Reyes wakes up in his
bed, thinking the previous night's events had been a dream. He notices
in the mirror that not only have all of his injuries from the previous
day's beating have healed, but that his right eye is now colored orange.
Robbie takes his brother Gabe to his special learning center, then goes
to school, encountering the same three punks who had beat him up the
day before. While the class goes wild around him, Robbie simply sits and
stares quietly. Elsewhere in LA, at the house of a drug dealer named
Grumpy, two teenagers buy one of Zabo's stolen pink pills to use as a
date rape drug. While they slip the pill into the drink of a girl in the
kitchen, another addict tells Grumpy that he saw someone driving his
car the night before. Grumpy's underlings tell their boss that the other
bags of pills were in the trunk of the car. In the kitchen, the woman
dosed with Zabo's drug transforms into a Hyde creature and kills the
boys who drugged her, destroying part of the house in the process.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
That night, after Gabe has gone to bed, Robbie
sneaks back into the auto shop and finds the car that had been destroyed
has returned in perfect condition. As he's taking the car out of the
shop, Grumpy's lieutenants pull up to steal the car back and open fire
on Reyes. He transforms into Ghost Rider and brutally disarms the thugs,
forcing them to flee in their car. Ghost Rider gives chase, but
ultimately speeds past them on his way to an abandoned salvage yard.
When they arrive, Reyes turns back into his normal form and looks at the
car, asking "what are you?". To his surprise, the car answers with "the
real question is, what are WE?" </div><div align="left"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvqCTwOk2D7xPxqeNwXKUkmgeGxAVKvEkFhyr3P9uspOzy_8nsgpBGpwVDF28esig8IIk6uvC0oZyxx3Zfx9pS6PW7zfn3KZACjC0ffMS4nXjV5iIwDtVfZgt0gYoRFuiBOT8eWSa2ieJ2NDH6Qz0gQpznxXgRZW7oXGAETln9c1Lr0PXIBt45qVxJbw/s1988/RCO006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1003" data-original-width="1988" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvqCTwOk2D7xPxqeNwXKUkmgeGxAVKvEkFhyr3P9uspOzy_8nsgpBGpwVDF28esig8IIk6uvC0oZyxx3Zfx9pS6PW7zfn3KZACjC0ffMS4nXjV5iIwDtVfZgt0gYoRFuiBOT8eWSa2ieJ2NDH6Qz0gQpznxXgRZW7oXGAETln9c1Lr0PXIBt45qVxJbw/w400-h201/RCO006.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Road rage!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div><div align="left">The concept of there being many different Spirits of Vengeance,

All-New Ghost Rider zooms into its second issue, and hot damn is it a doozy!</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Something struck me as I was reading this issue.
For all the attempt to make this series seemingly as different as
possible from previous Ghost Rider stories, I couldn't help but be
reminded of the similarities it shares with the opening issues of the
1990 Danny Ketch series. You have the teenage boy with a sibling in
trouble, a writer's affectation dominating the aesthetics (street racing
instead of cemeteries), and a lead character possessed by what appears
to be a haunted vehicle. Even the choice of villain, Mr. Hyde, calls up
comparisons to the first several issues of the Ketch Ghost Rider series!
By no means is this a bad thing, and I think it really shows just how
one should go about launching a successful revamp of the property.
Instead of relying on Johnny Blaze, either as the star or as an
immediate supporting cast member (as in the 2011 GR series), the
characters are allowed to be as in-the-dark as the readers concerning
what's happening to them. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
While Reyes is following a similar trajectory as
Ketch did back in 1990, the characters are worlds apart in terms of
characterization. Whereas Ketch was a bit timid and frightened about
what was happening to him, Reyes shows more curiosity and stoicism. That
rage seething just below Reyes' surface is again on display during his
time shown in school as the only teen not taking the piss out of the
substitute teacher, and the artwork really sells how different Robbie is
from his peers. Whereas Ketch seemed to be a weak fit for a Spirit of
Vengeance, you can immediately see why such a creature would be
attracted to Reyes. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
The Ghost Rider himself gets two fantastic
extended sequences following his two-page introduction at the end of
issue # 1, and he looks magnificent. Tradd Moore has sold me on the
character design AND the use of the car in place of the traditional
motorcycle. Moore's art just leaps off the page during every single
panel where the Rider is shown, and I happy to see that he has
storytelling skills alongside his unique design work. The sequence with
the Rider's car being blown into the air by a missile, only to land back
on its wheels, is very well done. His art just flows, even in the
action scene that takes place outside of the car, showing some brutally
efficient violence against the thugs that try to shoot Robbie. I'm a
little less sold on Moore's design for Mr. Hyde, though, because he
looks more like a werewolf than a brutish man. Still, high marks all
around for the art, which compliments Smith's story perfectly. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Any reservations I had about this series after
reading the first issue have successfully been driven away with this
second installment. Smith and Moore get everything right, and it makes
me again wish that the first issue had been double-sized to include this
issue as well. Highly recommended.</div>

<div align="left">At an auto repair shop in East Los Angeles, teenager Robbie
Reyes is working on a customized Dodge Charger. His boss pays him,
attempting to cheat him out of part of his wages before being caught by
the teen, and Robbie leaves. At the Patrick Wellman Development Center,
three punks are hassling Robbie's mentally and physically handicapped
younger brother Gabe. They steal the boy's wheelchair, and when Robbie
intervenes and starts a fight, one of the punks pulls out a gun. They
three boys beat Robbie viciously and leave with the wheelchair, forcing
Robbie to take his brother home by carrying him on his back. On their
way home they pass by a murder scene roped off by police, and while
eating dinner that night they hear gunshots down the street.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Later that night, Robbie breaks into the auto shop
and borrows the Charger, promising to return it before morning. When he
puts on the racing helmet and starts the engine, he doesn't notice the
flames surrounding his reflection in the window. He takes the car to an
illegal street race, hoping to win $50,000 by using the car as his
collateral. Robbie is easily winning the race, until he realizes he's
being chased by the police. He thinks about what will happen to his
brother if he's arrested and sent to prison, so Robbie attempts to
outrun the police cars. However, he mistakenly pulls into a dead-end
alley. When the police pull in behind him, he gets out of the car and
attempts to explain, but the "cops" murder him in a hail of machine gun
fire. They soak the car with gasoline, remove several duffel bags of
pink pills out of the trunk, and then set the car on fire while Robbie
bleeds to death. The soldiers leave Robbie and the burning car in the
alley, but the flames reach out to the boy and he is transformed into
the Ghost Rider. He gets inside the burning car and drives away while
Gabe sleeps at home, blissfully unaware of what's happened to his
brother. </span></div><div align="left"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="text-align: center;"><span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div align="left"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div align="left"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpX4L8fQlpXdqqATW84OvfiKS26gZu7rAxaXB1HD_IApHuUAwAwj5gTwnqqvH17Igx9M37SmpR6kNR3aJsEl_qdNDhqZUUrrbVlCOxuDVStDzZhZzb0S9qrgBawI6lhWx7YDtWAzqF3m_174NWdmo5ZJUaKswXS3oQps3KqFUeSXO9e9mVHvpVwdPfJg/s999/-010.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="777" data-original-width="999" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpX4L8fQlpXdqqATW84OvfiKS26gZu7rAxaXB1HD_IApHuUAwAwj5gTwnqqvH17Igx9M37SmpR6kNR3aJsEl_qdNDhqZUUrrbVlCOxuDVStDzZhZzb0S9qrgBawI6lhWx7YDtWAzqF3m_174NWdmo5ZJUaKswXS3oQps3KqFUeSXO9e9mVHvpVwdPfJg/w400-h311/-010.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Subtle and not-so-subtle visual foreshadowing!</td></tr></tbody></table><b><br /></b></div><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The concept of there being many different Spirits of Vengeance,
each with their own appropriate vehicle, was introduced by writer Jason
Aaron in <i>Ghost Rider (2006) # 27</i>. That issue even showed a glimpse of a Ghost Rider that drove a muscle car similar to the one used by Robbie Reyes.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
The issue ends with a text piece by editor Mark
Paniccia titled "Blazing a New Trail" that details the history of Ghost
Rider and the evolution of the new series, and shows design sketches
from Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left"><b>CHAIN REACTION</b></div><div align="left">Marvel makes yet another attempt to relaunch Ghost Rider into
his own series with an interestingly stylistic creative team and a new
character.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
"All-New" doesn't begin to describe the
differences between this series and the previous Ghost Rider titles, at
least on a superficial level. Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore are new
creators at Marvel, and while I'm totally unfamiliar with Smith I did
enjoy Moore's work on <i>The Strange Talent of Luther Strode</i> for Image
Comics. So, I wasn't quite prepared for what this first issue had in
store. I had, of course, seen all of the preview artwork and promotional
interviews, which made it obvious that Marvel was swinging for the
fences. New character as Ghost Rider, an art style that would likely
have as many people that hated it as loved it, and perhaps most
drastically, putting the Ghost Rider behind the wheel of a car instead
of the traditional motorcycle. It's almost like they were <i>trying</i>
to drive regular Ghost Rider fans away from this new book with such a
daring approach, and I know I wasn't the only hardcore Rider fan that
was skeptical.</div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
You know what, though? It worked; the hype, the
art style, the new character and setting, it all contributed to what has
to have been the biggest push the company has ever given to a Ghost
Rider title. It got people if not excited then at least curious about
the book, myself included. I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened
this debut issue, but I can say this: while it may not be everyone's cup
of tea, there's no denying that Smith and Moore have something very
interesting here. The book is deep within the street racing culture of
California (hell, there was even a promotional tie-in with <i>Lowrider</i>
magazine, of all things), and it's extremely new-reader-friendly. For a series that's as
idiosyncratic as this one, that's an important element.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">However, at the heart of this story is something
that's pretty traditional: troubled teen with a family member in
jeopardy gets in over his head. Hell, that's the standard Ghost Rider
origin in spades, from Johnny Blaze down to Danny Ketch. While readers
might be dazzled or even put off by the car stuff, the LA influence, and
the lack of recognizable characters, that core story engine (pardon the
pun) is immediately familiar. Not only that, but Smith makes Robbie
Reyes a likable and well-rounded character from the start. Sure,
there's a bit of cliché when it comes to the "good kid from the wrong
side of the tracks trying to escape to something better", but Smith
gives Reyes enough baggage that it doesn't feel tired. There's rage
seething behind this character, buried maybe beneath the love and
concern for his handicapped brother, but you can see it with his
interactions with everyone else. Reyes is damaged goods already, though
his heart is in the right place, and he wants to get his brother a
better life. It's instantly relatable and resonant, another important
element for the first issue of a new series. My one serious complaint
with this first issue is that it really needed to be double-sized to
show us more of the new Ghost Rider. I'm not faulting Smith for that,
because he needed to establish both a brand new character and the world
he lives in, which needed the page count. Still, would've been nice to
see more than two pages of the Rider himself.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Tradd Moore is certainly an acquired taste, I
think. There's a hint of manga influence in his work, and it's stylized
to the point of near caricature. I think if there's one thing that keeps
traditional GR readers away from this series, it will be Moore's art.
I'm currently on the fence about it, because while I normally don't
gravitate toward this style of comic art, I can't deny how great Moore
is when it comes to the street racing sequence. Car chases are generally
very hard to make exciting in a static medium like comics, but Tradd
gives each panel a sense of motion that I don't think I've ever seen
before. We will see next issue when Moore gets to cut loose on some
Ghost Rider action, that I think will be the decision maker. I do,
however, wish that Felipe Smith was handling the art as well as the
writing, because his designs for the characters and his variant cover
are astounding. Reyes has a cool, distinct look with the white stripe in
his hair, and damn does this new Ghost Rider have an awesome look
to him. I know some fans were critical of the fact that the traditional
flaming skull has been replaced with a helmet of sorts (though Smith has
said in interviews that it's not a flaming helmet, that IS Reyes'
actual head), but I love it. The call back to Blaze's original jumpsuit
design is just the icing on the cake. You'll notice I've not mentioned
the car yet, but again, I'm not that critical of the change in vehicle.
Jason Aaron established this precedent during his run, and it makes for
some new and potentially different visuals.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
The last time Marvel tried to launch a <i>Ghost Rider
</i> series with a different host character, we got Alejandra and the Rob
Williams run. This one takes a much better approach by letting the new
character stand on his own merits without having Johnny Blaze around to
force instant comparisons (and Marvel made a genius move by putting the
Blaze Ghost Rider in <i>Thunderbolts </i>at the same time as launching this new
series, because it gives readers both the new and the established
Riders on a monthly basis). So, don't let your preconceived notions keep
you from trying out this series...I think they might just have
something worthwhile here. </div>

<strong><span style="color: red;"><span class="style3"></span></span></strong>Alejandra, the Ghost Rider, bursts into a strip club and decapitates the Seeker, the zombie that was responsible for giving her the Spirit of Vengeance (though he's quick to point out that Zarathos chooses his host, not him). She is determined to go to Hell and rescue the souls of the Nicaraguan village that she was responsible for damning, and the Seeker tells her to find Adam for the power boost she needs. She teleports to the desert and pulls Adam through a portal, positioning him high above a building. He agrees to give her the power she needs, happy that it will allow her to spread vengeance to Hell. Meanwhile, Johnny Blaze is having a conversation with Doctor Strange about the Ghost Rider, with Blaze agreeing that Alejandra needs to be stopped after she turned against them to side with Blackheart. Strange opens a portal to Hell, but Blaze shoots him in the foot and rides into the portal alone, saying that the Ghost Rider is his responsibility only.<br />
<br />
In Hell, an armored Alejandra storms the gates of Mephisto's realm, slaying her way through an army of demons. Blaze follows her trail and is besieged by more demons, who are forced to back off when he produces the contract he has with Mephisto, which the demons claim is a "great weapon". He continues on through Hell and finds a giant-sized Alejandra fighting Mephisto in a lake of fire. While the two fight, Blaze transforms the contract into a shotgun shell. Mephisto gains the upper hand against the Ghost Rider, but before he can claim victory Alejandra punches her hand into his chest and rips out of his heart. She threatens to destroy his heart, which will consequently destroy Hell and all of creation, if he does not return the Nicaraguan souls. He does so, but Alejandra decides to destroy his heart anyway, and is only stopped when Blaze fires his shotgun through her skull. She shrinks down and falls, grabbing onto a ledge above the lake of fire. When Blaze tries to save her, she lets herself fall while the Spirit of Vengeance returns to Johnny. He plunges into the fire after her, and as the Ghost Rider he pulls her burnt body to safety and makes his way back to Earth. In Nicaragua, Blaze as the Ghost Rider explains that while Alejandra is no longer the Spirit of Vengeance she has retained some of its power. He shows her that she was successful in her gambit against Mephisto, the souls have been returned to the people she wiped the sin from, but that's not good enough for her. She claims that she is due revenge on Blaze for what he helped do to her, and the two part ways, with him telling her to come find him when she's ready.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7D4cMS47f0QzLhjPTXrOlfRrptZrJSQnlnvmJMHxAqT215Sib6eeG4cYdBbJXDx4jC0Il5xmuFh0Eh7MBm5Lvka0a99hty5wtgOWyaKi8ONnNQAm4cYjNfM6Nm_Zeueqx_YXCsfGJo4P-L7hEVMCqchr3fN7I1t7eNdYJ9JGgiv20jHA5PvP3b_QbWA/s1280/RCO007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="623" data-original-width="1280" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7D4cMS47f0QzLhjPTXrOlfRrptZrJSQnlnvmJMHxAqT215Sib6eeG4cYdBbJXDx4jC0Il5xmuFh0Eh7MBm5Lvka0a99hty5wtgOWyaKi8ONnNQAm4cYjNfM6Nm_Zeueqx_YXCsfGJo4P-L7hEVMCqchr3fN7I1t7eNdYJ9JGgiv20jHA5PvP3b_QbWA/w400-h195/RCO007.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">She's beautiful when she's angry.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div><div align="left">Alejandra and Blaze both appeared last in Venom (2011) # 14, which was the conclusion to the "Circle of Four" crossover.

<div align="left"><b>CHAIN REACTION</b></div>
<div align="left">
Alejandra ends her brief time as the Ghost Rider by way of a bullet to the head and a mercy killing cancellation of her title, just when things were finally getting interesting.<br />
<br />
After the events of the "Circle of Four" crossover in Venom, Alejandra has crossed the line from morally grey anti-hero to outright villain. Naturally she's wanting to do right by the people she harmed, but her way of doing so is actually making her into a fairly fascinating lead character. She's the extreme opposite of the original Blaze/Zarathos duo, where instead of the demon being wild and out control it's the human host that allows her recklessness to endanger not just innocent lives but all of creation. In his text piece at the back, writer Rob Williams laments that he didn't have Alejandra's character down from the beginning, and I agree with him when he says it took this many issues to make her fully fleshed out and interesting as a protagonist. The early issues featured a lead character that was flat and static and ultimately boring as hell to read about. This evolution of Alejandra, from innocent victim to supernatural juggernaut that keeps making just the worst choices possible, makes for a nice character arc. Naturally, it doesn't do much to make her likable, she was a horrid character during "Circle of Four" and that extends here as well. Her attempt at atonement, her sacrifice that returns the Spirit of Vengeance to Blaze at the end, is even undercut by her blaming him for "taking away" the power that she gave up. Alejandra sucks as a person, but I guess that's kind of the point?<br />
<br />
Anyway, this series ends the only way it really could, with Alejandra kicked to the curb and Johnny Blaze back in the saddle again as the Ghost Rider (despite all the talk in the early issues about that could never ever ever EVER happen, naturally). Alejandra becomes, at best, a footnote in Ghost Rider history that will only be brought up in crowd shots or whenever a writer wants to reference obscure continuity. Felipe Smith got a lot of mileage out of her in Ghost Racers, though, which goes to show that Alejandra can be pretty badass in the right context. This series was far from being that, though, and Alejandra's delayed characterization was a big part of that.<br />
<br />
The most egregious part of this series, though, was the treatment of Johnny Blaze, who I don't feel Williams ever had a handle on. He was just "weird redneck", which now that I think about it isn't too far off from the Nicholas Cage film portrayal. Maybe that's the vibe Williams was going for with Blaze, but it hit way off the mark, making him a buffoonish cartoon instead of the southern badass that Jason Aaron wrote so well. Blaze gets handled a little better in this issue, though, because he does at least acknowledge that this entire series was predicated by his bad decision to give up the Spirit of Vengeance (though it's a false sense of responsibility, since it was a near character-breaking mistake to have Johnny willingly condemn another person to his curse, but I've talked at length about that plot point in earlier reviews of this series).<br />
<br />
So Williams hits the big reset button after a confrontation with Mephisto, one which really just feels like the writer trying to make his character do something big and important before shuffling off to what will essentially be comic book limbo. The Mephisto fight does at least feel somewhat earned, though, given everything that happened in the title's first arc and in the Venom crossover. I still say it would have made much more sense to have "Circle of Four" be the crossover it was intended to be and allow this series it's own chapter, but instead we got what we got and this final issue came out two months after the one before. It makes for a weird disconnect from what went before, like "Circle of Four" was the title's real end and this is just some strange epilogue or coda. So much stuff was still left up in the air, even with the extended page count for this issue, like Adam and the Seeker both still being out there in the world. I never much cared for those two and the way they were implanted into an already confusing mythology for the Spirit of Vengeance, but I'll be surprised if they ever get referenced again.<br />
<br />
The artwork for this issue is split between two artists: Lee Garbett, who had become the de factor lead artist on the series after Matt Clark left, and Emanuela Lupacchino, who I'd seen on some X-Factor stories around this time. Garbett was the glue that really held this title together, his work was always a welcome sight and he does a great job on the opening and final pages of this issue. I wish he'd got a chance to draw the male Ghost Rider more, because he does a great job on the design at the end. I always appreciated that Garbett was able to make the Alejandra Rider look feminine without trying to make a flaming skeleton look sexy. Lupacchino comes in to draw the middle section, which involves the big fight against Mephisto, and it's all okay I suppose. Her work is very clean and soft, it lacks the edge for a story like this, but it tells the story perfectly well.<br />
<br />
When all is said and done, Alejandra Jones and her time as Ghost Rider was a colossal failure. Marvel seemed really keen on replacing Blaze with new characters, and though this first attempt didn't quite work they were able to use the formula to much greater success a few years later with Robbie Reyes. I'll be very interested to see if Alejandra makes a comeback in a decade's time, much like Danny Ketch did during the mid 2000s. Let's hope she's developed more of a personality by then.<strong><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></strong><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL1xVBRUsgD08vGw_ToncGmWp9dODbQ7MQxzKBas1runV6snR-DHrtwH09_dTmlzi0d3YuZQeqpxX9jifPXBiCEJYW4EqYtwHLye6_v7IEMW5Z3GMoze0X9GGxiimVqc674Z1tWH5EucLaAd1_D64DmldDLg3bREnfXhWSUksdlhx2Xin9SkYe5P5ejg/s1279/RCO014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="583" data-original-width="1279" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL1xVBRUsgD08vGw_ToncGmWp9dODbQ7MQxzKBas1runV6snR-DHrtwH09_dTmlzi0d3YuZQeqpxX9jifPXBiCEJYW4EqYtwHLye6_v7IEMW5Z3GMoze0X9GGxiimVqc674Z1tWH5EucLaAd1_D64DmldDLg3bREnfXhWSUksdlhx2Xin9SkYe5P5ejg/w400-h183/RCO014.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Amen, Alejandra.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />

<div align="left">Alejandra has been shot in the heart with an arrow by Hawkeye, who has used a mystical amulet attached to the error to paralyze the Ghost Rider and keep her from transforming. He takes her into custody, but realizes that he needs to save Johnny Blaze from Steel Wind and Steel Vengeance. The two sisters have chained Blaze between their bikes are about to drive him into a bullet train when Hawkeye arrives to save him. Hawkeye has to jump off of his skycycle during the fight and leaves Alejandra tied onto it. Right before it crashes into the bullet train and explodes, Alejandra successfully pulls the arrow from her chest. Blaze and Hawkeye are taken prisoner by Steel Wind, who tells them that they will experience "The Dragging".</div><div align="left">

The two men are dragged through downtown Tokyo by Steel Wind and Steel Vengeance, but they are saved by Alejandra. The Ghost Rider has transformed the bullet train into a "hell train" with a giant skull as its engine car.

Afterward, Blaze offers to help Alejandra and Hawkeye tells her that she still needs to pay for her crimes.

<br /><b>CHAIN REACTION</b></div>
<div align="left">
<strong><span style="color: red;"><span class="style3"></span></span></strong>This headache of a series is still happening, and in this issue there's a lot of terrible dialogue and unfunny jokes. Also, the creative team doesn't know anything about geography.<br />
<br />
Let's get that last part out of the way first. I don't know if it was an error on the part of the writer, Rob Williams, or the artist, Lee Garbett, but this issue apparently takes place in Japan. I certainly didn't know that last issue, because it was never said, and you definitely can't tell by the artwork. See, Garbett has the majority of the issue taking place in a desert wasteland that is inexplicably set just outside the city of Tokyo. Now, there is a desert in Japan, but it's small, on the coast, and nowhere near Tokyo. So it's a major breakdown in communication somewhere, or just a lack of basic research, either way it's annoying and baffling at the same time. <br />
<br />
Garbett's art doesn't fare as well as it has in previous issues, and now I suppose he's become the default "regular artist" on the series after doing so many fill-ins. He still has his usual clean, simplified style, but there's something about the details that don't look as refined in this issue. The biggest example is the transformed bullet train, which could have been an amazing visual but instead is just a big skull. His Alejandra is still looking good, though, and retains her femininity without sacrificing what makes Ghost Rider look like Ghost Rider.<br />
<br />
The story this issue, which picks up from last issue's disappointing reintroduction of Steel Wind and Steel Vengeance, continues with everything that annoyed me ramped up even more. Steel Wind is still a raving lunatic without any of the nuance or pathos she had in previous appearances, which has been replaced with her complete ineptitude. How can these two even be considered a threat when they're so ridiculous? It's overcompensating, trying to put a mark on a series that had been defined not long ago by Jason Aaron and the Orb, though it misses the point. The Orb was just as ridiculous as Steel Wind, yes, but he was balanced out by villains who were actually scary and threatening, such as the Scarecrow and Vengeance. Williams also must get a real kick out of playing Blaze and Hawkeye off one another, though he still misfires wildly here as well. Blaze is not the cocky jokester to Hawkeye's straight man, if anything their personalities would make it the other way around. <br />
<br />
"Circle of Four" is up next and it's actually a pretty good story. This comic, though, is terrible on just about every level.</div><div align="left" class="style7"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7CxLPeU60vudQ3JONKJvcdLiUHrmQd3FsD6zrY12AoPrU10vGzgNfZQBGzXGruTGcZYRpwmoIBijJ2UsS2ADcZ8yE0wNPTRJ3BEqG8hqpB17A62pY143zERUEbWL1-l5522ED2BvalT07Nirc63gjSquyMBzcRqyNOvNc8aeRNVA_dGgFXkF80jXsTg/s1279/RCO015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="1279" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7CxLPeU60vudQ3JONKJvcdLiUHrmQd3FsD6zrY12AoPrU10vGzgNfZQBGzXGruTGcZYRpwmoIBijJ2UsS2ADcZ8yE0wNPTRJ3BEqG8hqpB17A62pY143zERUEbWL1-l5522ED2BvalT07Nirc63gjSquyMBzcRqyNOvNc8aeRNVA_dGgFXkF80jXsTg/w400-h193/RCO015.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Painfully unfunny.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />

<div align="left">In Tokyo, Adam the first man stands in a cemetery with Steel Wind, an old enemy of Johnny Blaze. In return for the resurrection of her sister, Steel Vengeance, Steel Wind will find the new Ghost Rider and deliver her to Adam. He brings the cyborg corpse of Steel Vengeance out of her grave, but as a desiccated corpse powered by her robotic parts.</div>

<br />
Elsewhere in America, Alejandra has tracked the Seeker down at a movie theater, where she asks him how she can return the souls to the people she wronged in Nicaragua. The Seeker tells her that the souls are in the possession of Mephisto in Hell, and that she should find Johnny Blaze to help her get there. Blaze, meanwhile, is riding his bike through a city when he's attacked by Hawkeye, who has been sent by the Avengers to find and capture the Ghost Rider for what happened in Nicaragua. After a brief fight, Hawkeye learns that Blaze is no longer the Ghost Rider, just as Alejandra arrives to ask Johnny for help. Suddenly, a vortex opens in the sky, which sucks Alejandra inside. Blaze jumps in after her, followed by an aggravated Hawkeye.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
The vortex deposits Alejandra and Blaze at a desert, where they are confronted by Steel Wind and Steel Vengeance. Steel Wind attacks Alejandra, but quickly realizes that Adam has not truly resurrected her sister, merely reanimated her dead body. She tells Alejandra to stay out of her way and she will let her live, deciding to take her revenge out on Blaze instead. Before Alejandra can rescue Blaze, an arrow with an amulet wrapped around the shaft strikes her in the chest, turning her back into her human form. Hawkeye stands over her, saying that the people in Central America have now been avenged.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_0Z4mkuBmZQGLFRKIw9Dq1npnZApnZ3KNwMgcm5ceR3J4WXMmE4Q0M4h6lnyqLMSbwt1UDTVeIAWK6dN1AjEcytUQGxDFD035M22eejEpcxSBMFwWrdDKWKaMK3eSVHkynzYOxFv2MuFeAsNL9DlHGbT0KZjhDMcIxbvgdZBR5mBAs1d9jsjWvWcC_A/s1279/RCO010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="767" data-original-width="1279" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_0Z4mkuBmZQGLFRKIw9Dq1npnZApnZ3KNwMgcm5ceR3J4WXMmE4Q0M4h6lnyqLMSbwt1UDTVeIAWK6dN1AjEcytUQGxDFD035M22eejEpcxSBMFwWrdDKWKaMK3eSVHkynzYOxFv2MuFeAsNL9DlHGbT0KZjhDMcIxbvgdZBR5mBAs1d9jsjWvWcC_A/w400-h240/RCO010.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I think she means it, Hawkeye.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div><div align="left">Both Adam and the Seeker last appeared in Ghost Rider (2011) # 4.</div>

Hawkeye says that line, but it's also what I think every time I read an issue of this series. Rob Williams thinks he's hilarious, especially when he's writing Johnny Blaze, but he's actually writing some of the most painful dialogue I've ever read. Blaze as written by Williams speaks and acts like a fucking idiot, and it just gets worse and worse with each new issue. That, I think, is the biggest problem with this series. Alejandra has finally developed a personality, and the last two issues that focused solely on her were good and great, respectively. It's when Blaze reappears that the book comes screaming back to stupidity, because we also get Adam and the Seeker brought back to dumb things down even more. Williams can write good comics, and he can specifically write good Ghost Rider comics, issue # 6 proved that. If he would only stop using characters as comic relief in wildly inappropriate ways, maybe every issue could be as good as the last one?</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
But no, instead we get Johnny Blaze screaming like an asshole about David Bowie and American Idol. This issue gave me a headache after all the times I slammed my head against my desk while reading it. The most egregious error, though, comes with the reintroduction of Steel Wind and Steel Vengeance. I love the nod to past continuity, because I seriously can't believe anyone else remembers Steel Vengeance or that she died, but Williams' writing tendencies completely overpower any goodwill that character usage might bring. Williams seems to be trying to out-crazy Jason Aaron's run, but continues to fail miserably because Aaron did what Williams isn't, he grounded the weird and crazy with the deadly serious and scary. Steel Wind was introduced as a horrifically tragic villain, a woman of peace molded (literally) into a force of destruction. Even her 1990s appearances maintained some of that, allowing her to move past what was done to her in hopes of regaining her serenity. Now she's screaming about "bike pain explosions" and pontificating like a madwoman. This series sucks all humanity and nuance out of its characters and it's such a struggle to read through.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
The artwork is by permanent fill-in artist Lee Garbett, who does a decent job working in the established Marvel superhero house style of the time. I like how he draws Alejandra's flames in the shape of hair, accentuating her femininity without sexualizing her, but his artwork is just too clean and bright for a Ghost Rider series. The artwork for Ghost Rider should be dark and ominous, which Garbett's work is not. Still, solid enough job, I suppose. The art is not the problem for this series, after all.</div>

I had higher hopes for this series after the last two issues, but they were crushed by "death-spiked robo wheels".

<div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left">At a Native American reservation, X-Man Danielle Moonstar says goodbye to an old woman named Awanata who is laying catatonic and is slowly dying. She exits the small room and tells the other X-Men (Cyclops, Storm, Gambit, and Pixie) that they need to seal the entrance to the room. The woman's husband, Arnold Blackfeather, tells the X-Men that they have to seal Awanata up due to events that happened decades ago. The town was attacked by demons, and though he was a young training shaman Blackfeather was unable to stop them. Awanata, a powerful shaman as well, absorbed the demons into herself and trapped them inside her own soul. But now she's old and dying, and she knows that once she dies the demons will be released. Blackfeather hands Pixie a magical book that contains a spell to seal the demons inside the brick crypt they're building around Awanata.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
Before the spell can be cast, the Ghost Rider arrives declaring the sin in the town must be cleansed in fire. Cyclops, noticing that the Rider has changed (shorter, now a female), tries to talk but is cut off by the Spirit of Vengeance, who senses that Awanata has just died. The tomb explodes and a host of demons in human form emerge from the old woman, calling themselves the Atahsaia. The X-Men stand against them, and when the demons transform into their true forms they create a deep pit in the street. The X-Men attack, but quickly discover that they cannot kill the demons. Ghost Rider pulls up beside Moonstar and orders her to get on the bike while Pixie takes the spell book from Blackfeather. The X-Men herd the demons toward the pit, where Ghost Rider and Moonstone use the Rider's mystical chains to drag them down. When the two women emerge from the chasm, the X-Men seal it with rubble and Pixie uses the spell book to mystically seal the demons in. Blackfeather emerges to thank the heroes, but he's caught by the Ghost Rider's chain and forced to confess his sin. It was Blackfeather who originally summoned the demons to use against a rival tribe, and his wife saved him. Ghost Rider commands Blackfeather to pay penance by repairing the town and regaining his family's honor, then she rides away. The X-Men depart as well, leaving the town to put itself back together.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9HDPOZGMINWePoqOs1TgAjfDnvTOV1K39QRsHbSWkoOTFo3KUF2pqjjsIJruRO3erdzrmJ9By0ddD9M86_zm-opzWrUKwWisgKdND_07Ty7z_FXEgOahI2JX_ArOgKxgkFD_Qb2bPSx8IBTwwFl87rR-DTMoq02akgLjPH4PHoDKEgRgnR1nzmGJndw/s1919/RCO010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1035" data-original-width="1919" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9HDPOZGMINWePoqOs1TgAjfDnvTOV1K39QRsHbSWkoOTFo3KUF2pqjjsIJruRO3erdzrmJ9By0ddD9M86_zm-opzWrUKwWisgKdND_07Ty7z_FXEgOahI2JX_ArOgKxgkFD_Qb2bPSx8IBTwwFl87rR-DTMoq02akgLjPH4PHoDKEgRgnR1nzmGJndw/w400-h216/RCO010.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Cyclops is cool as a cucumber.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div><div align="left">This issue takes place between Ghost Rider (2011) # 5 and Ghost Rider (2011) # 6.</div>

Victor Gischler's X-Men series was, for all intents and purposes, "X-Men Team-Up". Each story-arc featured a different guest-star, and though the book launched with a huge push from Marvel for the "Curse of the Vampires" arc, the book never really took hold with fans. With all of the important events for the mutants happening in other titles, poor X-Men was looked upon as a second-stringer that was so inconsequential it didn't even get to participate in the X-Men crossovers of the time. But, the book was still heavily promoted in its infancy, so it's curious that the special "new reader friendly" Point One issue was given over to push readers toward the newest Ghost Rider series.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
When this issue was released, the new Ghost Rider title had only released three issues (counting its "# 0.1" issue) and was only halfway through the first arc that introduced the new Spirit of Vengeance. So, I can only imagine that Gischler was asked to write this to help promote the new book without really knowing much about what the new character was going to be like. In practice, that means we get a standard stock Ghost Rider story, only this time the Rider is drawn with breasts under the leather jacket. There's nothing here that would be different if it were Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch behind the flaming skull. So, this comic isn't really pushing the NEW Ghost Rider series, instead its just giving the readers a look at what a traditional Ghost Rider story would be like, only this time it's a girl?</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
It's a one-shot story, and because of the space limits there's a bit of hand-waving when it comes to the X-Men's involvement. Dani Moonstar has an old friend with a demon problem, so the X-Men come out to help despite not being so well-versed in demonic happenings (and they left their most potent member, Magik, back home in favor of Pixie?). This series didn't have a traditional cast of X-Men, so we get whichever characters Gischler wanted to write about at the time. Cyclops, Gambit, Storm, Pixie, and Moonstar are all decent-to-great characters (though poor Colossus, gets to hang out on the cover but not in the story itself), and the limited cast allows space for the guest-star. Ghost Rider doesn't get to do a whole lot other than look menacing, but I did like the bit at the climax where the heroes all think the problem is solved...until the Rider wraps her chain around Moonstar's family friend and gets him to confess his secret sin.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
Will Conrad is one of those Marvel house style artists that pops up on fill-in issues a lot but hasn't really sunk his teeth into any permanent gigs (I think I last saw him on a few issues of DC's Stormwatch series in 2013). His style is highly reminiscent of Mike Deodato, and it works fine on a superhero comic such as this. His action is dynamic and he does a decent job on Ghost Rider herself. There's nothing too flashy or exciting about this comic's artwork, but it certainly gets the job done nicely.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
This comic was the only appearance Alejandra made outside of her own series and the "Circle of Four" crossover in Venom. It's a decent, if inconsequential, story for both Ghost Rider and the X-Men. </div>

<div align="left">Zarathos has brought Alejandra to the swamps of Louisiana, where a hurricane is getting ready to hit. She comes across an old woman in a boat who calls her a "guilty ghost" and smiles. Alejandra notices a voodoo trinket hanging from a tree, and when she crosses the border past it finds herself transformed back into her human form, unable to turn back into the Ghost Rider. She is saved from the alligators in the water by an old man, who pulls her to shore and introduces himself as Earle. He takes her to a small community of people imprisoned by the witch, explaining that all of them are murderers cursed to stay within the community's borders. The witch, who lost a daughter to a killer, cursed every murderer in the region to her swamp prison, where each of them have changed their ways. Earle sees Alejandra's arrival as a sign that their curse is going to end, as she's the first person the witch has ever allowed to cross the border.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
While Earle talks to Alejandra, the rest of the town holds a meeting where they decide to take care of Alejandra themselves. They touch one another and merge into a monstrous gestalt creature, which bursts out of the small building to attack Alejandra, knocking the protesting Earle aside. The creature explains that they haven't changed their ways, the witch's curse states that they have to murder one more person to be free...but they are unable to kill each other, no matter how hard they have tried over the years. The monster chases Alejandra back into the swamp, and when she crosses the border her power returns. She transforms into the Ghost Rider and calls down a bolt of lightning, which she uses to destroy the combined murderers. Earle sees the body of the witch, now dead in her boat, and realizes that he's finally free from his curse. Alejandra, however, cuts him down with her scythe, stating that he's still a murderer. The Ghost Rider leaves the swamp just as the hurricane hits, leaving the town to be destroyed.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSk8Qqz8081IYVbi6NnrqK9l7A4PQ1GIX6JBJnSQe0N-z07GDPvajUUaP8hzld_dyBGd-CnatYFamom708LhYiXMzA6nK88fYM8bZUE-VR6kP9cph1jovy5C6jKMC1ck9QJZgmglAJM_JtbiyXKrYKPUe_2_P_J7bYV5u3fxe2qapICtF680N4SWIkrw/s1279/RCO019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1267" data-original-width="1279" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSk8Qqz8081IYVbi6NnrqK9l7A4PQ1GIX6JBJnSQe0N-z07GDPvajUUaP8hzld_dyBGd-CnatYFamom708LhYiXMzA6nK88fYM8bZUE-VR6kP9cph1jovy5C6jKMC1ck9QJZgmglAJM_JtbiyXKrYKPUe_2_P_J7bYV5u3fxe2qapICtF680N4SWIkrw/w400-h396/RCO019.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ride the lightning!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="color: red;"><span class="style7"></span></span>Alejandra last appeared in X-Men (2010) # 15.1.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<strong><span class="style3"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></span></strong><b>CHAIN REACTION</b></div><div align="left">Rob Williams and guest artist Dalibor Talajic produce what is easily the best issue of the series with a one-shot story that echoes the spirit of the best Marvel horror comics of the 1970s.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
While last issue took some good strides toward making Alejandra more of a real character and actual protagonist of her own series, this untitled story is really the first to stand out as something truly special. Williams steps deep into horror territory with this issue, leaving behind the forced sarcasm and zany tongue-in-cheek dialogue for what I think is one of the more unsettling Ghost Rider stories ever produced. In a lot of ways, it reminds me not just of the Michael Fleisher stories of the early 1980s, where Johnny Blaze would go from town to town interacting with weird events, but also Steve Gerber's Man-Thing series (and not just because of the swamp setting, I promise). </div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
So far, Alejandra's time as the Ghost Rider has been an absolute disaster, with her not only spending the first arc as a pawn but also being responsible for the spiritual destruction of an entire town. She's a character at a truly low point, and this issue dangles hope in front of her for the first time only for it to backfire on her in a truly spectacular and depressing fashion. Williams may lay the "hope for change" motif on a little thick, but the hook of the story manages to sell it effectively. In the fashion of those old Man-Thing stories, Williams doesn't have to justify or even really explain just where this witch comes from or the details of her curse. It's an exercise in mood and tone, and everything just comes together perfectly.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
The main factor for this, I think, is the artwork by Dalibor Talajic, which gives off a perfect Bernie Wrightson homage in its depiction of the swamp and the gestalt murder monster. The artwork just drips with doom and despair, this guy is a fantastic horror artist. I also love his rendition of the Ghost Rider herself, being one of the first to really sell her as something other than a skull with breasts. The sequence with Alejandra's transformation and lightning attack is immensely powerful and built up so well in the proceeding panels with how frightened he depicts her as being (she is just a teenage girl, after all).</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
I've been extremely critical of this series, but this issue stands as one of my favorite Ghost Rider stories of the last decade. Unfortunately, the work produced here would be an aberration, because next issue...well, it gets pretty dire, folks.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqrjs_w2c0_QKGkwQVJPjX33l8rs5Fblir9YaE_NJVhMwmT9zjE-i_UCdKcbabVr4cjhnh4-l7adIQ0ahJ7XHJml6rU6TS4LYn2H0k7lXsDcoKCNARCrvxW3KGczIoTMYRJ33TcltNl4lp7zkW_dd5dAr1ukKVcZLRpiHBRMzY5Uxb81OIVRn-cYU-gg/s1279/RCO021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="613" data-original-width="1279" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqrjs_w2c0_QKGkwQVJPjX33l8rs5Fblir9YaE_NJVhMwmT9zjE-i_UCdKcbabVr4cjhnh4-l7adIQ0ahJ7XHJml6rU6TS4LYn2H0k7lXsDcoKCNARCrvxW3KGczIoTMYRJ33TcltNl4lp7zkW_dd5dAr1ukKVcZLRpiHBRMzY5Uxb81OIVRn-cYU-gg/w400-h191/RCO021.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Only vengeance remains...</td></tr></tbody></table>

<div align="left">The Ghost Rider races
through the Arizona desert with the comatose Roxanne Simpson in his
arms, desperate to get her to a hospital before the snake venom in her
system kills her. Back at the Apache reservation, Snake Dance's
followers turn against him, finally realizing that he's nothing but a
charlatan. Sam Silvercloud strings the old medicine man up to a tree,
preparing to hang him, but the men are stopped by several rifle shots.
They turn to see a young woman, Linda Littletrees, Snake Dance's daughter
returned from college. Linda unties her father and convinces all the
men to return to the reservation. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Meanwhile, Blaze races through the nearest city,
the welfare of his girlfriend the only thing concerning him. He roars
through the emergency room doors of the local hospital and demands a
doctor to save Roxanne. After a little persuasion of the hellfire
variety, the doctor agrees to help. After a quick examination, however,
the doctor tells Johnny that she will still die, because the hospital
has run out of snake bite serum. Back at the reservation, Linda is
appalled that her father almost killed a girl because of superstitions.
Snake Dance assures his daughter that Roxanne WILL die, because he knows
the white men have no serum. He shows that he has the only vial of the
serum, but accidentally allows Linda to take it from him. The young girl
runs out the door and hops on her motorcycle, praying to an unseen
"master" that she reaches Roxanne in time. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
At the hospital, the doctor tells Blaze that the
only thing they can do is a complete blood transfusion, but it would be
very dangerous and she may not live through the procedure. The Ghost
Rider tells the doctor to do what he must, and walks out of the
hospital. Johnny rides his bike away from the motorcycle, just missing
the arrival of Linda with the serum. The police catch sight of the
speeding Blaze and follow in pursuit. Linda, meanwhile, gets the serum
to the doctor in the nick of time, saving Roxanne's life. The doctor
tells Linda the girl's name, and it rings strangely familiar to the
Apache. </div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
Johnny is chased by two motorcycle cops, which he
tries to stop with a few blasts of hellfire. The cops continue their
chase, until Blaze manages to trap them behind a wall of flame. The
police radio in an all-points bulletin on the Ghost Rider as he rides
away. Elsewhere, Linda recalls why she recognized Roxanne's name. When
she was a little girl, she was rescued from being run over by a
motorcycle cop named Officer Crash Simpson, who she had heard started a
motorcycle show a few years later. She goes back and talks to the
doctor, who tells her that Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider, was the one
that brought Roxanne to the hospital. Linda, thinking it ironic that the
man her master sent her to kill is involved with the daughter of the
man that once saved her life, walks outside the hospital in time to see
Blaze speed by, several police cars on his tail. Realizing that she must
rescue Johnny from the police so she can kill him herself, Linda jumps
on her bike and gives chase. She easily passes the police cars, and
takes a shortcut to a set of Indian cave ruins. Johnny is surprised when
a police helicopter cuts off his escape route, but then a shimmering
portal opens in front of him. The next thing Johnny knows, he's standing
before the costumed Linda Littletrees, who refers to herself as...the
Witch Woman! </div>

</div>
<div align="left">After fleeing from the Apache known as Snake Dance by attempting to jump over a gorge, Johnny Blaze finds that his bike has been sabotaged when it explodes in mid-air, leaving him to fall to his death in the canyon. The Ghost Rider hits the rocks at the canyon base, and Snake Dance revels in his triumph, believing Blaze to be dead. Meanwhile, back at the rodeo where Johnny is to perform his cycle act, the foreman comments that Blaze has disappeared. Roxanne believes that he must have ridden out the canyon, so the foreman tells Sam Silvercloud to give her a ride there as well. On the way to the canyon, Silvercloud (the one responsible for sabotaging Johnny's bike) tells Roxanne that the land is rightfully owned by the Apaches, and that they will soon reclaim it from the white man. They arrive at Copperhead Canyon, where Silvercloud tells Roxanne that Blaze is dead. He then kidnaps the young woman and takes her to the nearby Indian reservation.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
The next morning, the rodeo manager is upset because both Johnny and Roxanne are now nowhere to be found. At that moment, Bart Slade, the cycle show's road manager, enters the room dressed in cycle leathers and says that if Blaze doesn't show, he's more than ready to fill in for him. Hours later, Johnny, now in his human form, awakens on the canyon floor, astonished that he's still alive after the fall. Suddenly, Satan appears before the stunt rider and tells him that he's responsible for Johnny's surviving the crash. He tells Blaze that if he died by the hand of another mortal, he would be unable to capture his soul. Therefore, whenever Blaze's life is in danger, Satan will extend protection over him, until he himself has a chance to take his life. The devil disappears, leaving Johnny alone on the canyon floor. Luckily, a helicopter passes overhead and airlifts Johnny out. Meanwhile, at the Indian reservation, Silvercloud presents Roxanne to Snake Dance, who decides that they shall sacrifice her to the Snake-God as a bride. The witch doctor then returns to his home, where he states to himself that the entire snake ceremony and belief system is a charade, perpetrated to save his people from starvation and poverty. </div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
Blaze arrives at the rodeo just in time, barely making it to his dressing room before nightfall triggers his transformation into the Ghost Rider. He runs out to do his act, and is surprised to find Slade ready to do the stunts himself. Because Bart is a cripple with a bum leg, Johnny stops him from doing the act, but only manages to anger his former friend even more. Blaze continues and starts the stunt show, stunning the audience with his cycle mastery. During one stunt, however, he loses his concentration and crashes his bike into a wall. The Ghost Rider emerges unscathed, but quickly spots Sam Silvercloud standing on the sidelines. He chases the saboteur down and forces him to give up Roxanne's location. </div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
At the reservation, Snake Dance and his men perform the Snake-God ritual, with Roxanne tied to a serpent-shaped stake. Snake Dance tells her that she must prove herself worthy by enduring deadly snake venom, and that only ones who are chosen by the Snake-God can survive. Two snakes shoot out from the shaman's arms, biting Roxanne on each wrist. Snake Dance, knowing all too well that the venom will kill Roxanne, continues his sham by saying that the gods are angry with the Apaches, and that the only way to appease them is to rise up against the white man as an army. At that moment, the Ghost Rider roars onto the scene, quickly dispatching Snake Dance's followers with his hellfire. He unties Roxanne from the stake, but realizes that he must get her to a hospital before she dies. He turns to the Apaches one last time and tells them that Snake Dance is a charlatan, and that they shall never again threaten innocent people. He rides off on his motorcycle, vowing that if Roxanne dies, he shall return to exact vengeance. </div>

<div align="left">With Roxanne still strapped to the sacrificial alter, the Ghost Rider is confronted by the crazed Crash Simpson, who holds the flaming sword of Satan and is more than willing to use it. Johnny frees Roxanne and begs her to run, but she refuses to leave the man she loves and her father alone to fight to the death. Satan commands Crash to strike, but the man cannot while his daughter is endangered. Enraged, Satan waves his hand and takes both Crash and the Ghost Rider down with him to Hell. With Roxanne no loner in the equation, Crash attacks Blaze, attempting to kill him with the flaming sword. Johnny pleads with Crash to turn against the demon, and finally his words get through to his step-father, who saves Blaze from a tentacle creature. Crash takes the wounded Blaze and runs into the depths of Hell, but the two are attacked by a large demon. Crash strikes the monster with the sword, but is crushed by the falling monster. Johnny picks him and begins to walk, determined to make it out of Hell with Crash's soul. Blaze is approached by a mysterious cloaked figure, who offers to send Crash onto his final reward and Blaze back to Earth. Johnny gives his step-father over, and seconds later awakens back in the crypt in his human form, an amnesiac Roxanne fawning over him. Johnny feigns ignorance about what happened, and the two return to Madison Square Garden.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
Several hours later, Johnny arrives in Arizona, and is picked up from the airport by a local Native American named Sam Silvercloud, who is supposed to take the stunt-rider to Copperhead Canyon. Instead, Sam pulls a gun on Blaze, telling him that he won't allow the biker to jump the Canyon. If he makes the jump, then the canyon will never be returned to the Indians that are trying to get it back. Silvercloud abandons Blaze in the desert, but not before Johnny is able to retrieve his cycle from the back of the truck. The next morning, Johnny arrives at the Canyon Rodeo grounds and speaks with the rodeo manager, who explains that the local Indians are in an uproar because of a medicine man named Snake-Dance. As they speak, Silvercloud sabotages Blaze's cycle. </div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
That evening, Johnny rides out into the desert toward the Canyon, and while in transit undergoes the transformation into the Ghost Rider. When he makes it to the rim of the canyon, he is attacked by several Native American warriors. After quickly defeating them, Blaze is confronted by Snake-Dance himself, who mystically summons snakes to attack the Rider. Johnny makes it to his bike as the shaman transforms into a giant serpent and gives chase. Realizing the only avenue of escape is to jump the canyon, Blaze takes flight. At that moment, Sam Silvercloud's earlier sabotage causes the Ghost Rider's bike to explode, sending him into a free fall toward the bottom of the canyon.</div>

For X-Men readers, particularly those invested in Gambit and his origin backstory, this is an essential crossover; for Ghost Rider readers, it’s nothing but a detour from the ongoing storyline that had just started in the 25th issue. Perhaps had Ghost Rider been given an equally valid reason to participate in the crossover I would feel differently, but as it stands this is an X-Men story that Ghost Rider was shoehorned into with little regard other than wanting to sell a bunch of comics.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left">Now don’t get me wrong, 13-year-old Chris ate this stuff up with a spoon when it was released, because I was a big X-Men fan as well. Read today, though, the superfluousness of Ghost Rider’s part in this story sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s a distraction from having to deal with Dan Ketch’s death in the previous issue, holding out and killing time before the next crossover happens. “Rise of the Midnight Sons” is only two issues away by this point, and a filler crossover about Louisiana assassin guilds and Brood aliens does not make for a satisfying bridge. Everything just plain stops for this issue and it’s ultimately pointless.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left">The only real successful thing about the comic is the Wagner/Witherby artwork, which lays the gothic ambiance on quite thick. It’s a treat seeing their rendition of New Orleans, especially set during Mardi Gras, and the architecture really comes to life on the page. Wagner’s X-Men doesn’t quite compare to the ultra-polished Jim Lee version that appears in the other half of the crossover, which shows his struggles with regular superhero style characters. He excels on stuff like Morbius and Punisher War Journal, not so much with the spandex set.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left">I hate that this is a Gambit story interrupting the Ghost Rider series, I hate that this is a meaningless crossover released right before yet another crossover, and I hate the whiplash in tone that occurs when you transition between Ghost Rider and X-Men.

<div align="left">At the X-Mansion, Professor X and Storm introduce the newest member of the team, Bishop, to the rest of the X-Men. Bishop is a time-traveler from a future where the X-Men were betrayed and murdered by one of the team. When he sees Gambit, he accuses him of being the murderer due to him being the lone survivor of the future attack. Xavier breaks up the tense scene by ordering the team to relax at the lake that's on the X-Mansion's property. <br />
<br />
At the lake, Rogue and Gambit's picnic is interrupted by Bishop, who claims that he knows Remy LeBeau as the monster who raised him after "the great betrayal". Gambit and Bishop begin fighting, which is eventually stopped by Rogue, who convinces Bishop to accept Gambit for who he is now and not who he may become. Suddenly, they are all attacked by a young woman that fires energy blasts, who Gambit says is his wife. Later, all of the X-Men are listening to the woman's story: her name is Bella Donna, and while she is a member of the New Orleans Assassins Guild, her "husband" Gambit is a member of the Thieves Guild. The two clans are now at war with one another, and it's all because Gambit killed Bella Donna's brother in a duel. In order to keep the peace between the groups, Gambit was exiled, but now that the truce has been broken it's his responsibility to put a stop to the bloodshed. The other X-Men volunteer to go with him, despite his protests that he can handle the responsibility alone. While the X-Men prepare to leave, on the outskirts of New Orleans a sheriff's deputy attempts to pull over a speeding motorcyclist. When he stops the biker, though, he finds that it's actually the Ghost Rider on his way into the city.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb_K9vyKQkXbo1NLy-FZEOASJWf173dBlmCbBeKjN50ChWE8Y5RgmnN9rj7O_H6L7NxJBTEIEqPgAm31fHCzYq7odIRkK9UYfDC5W4KfbhKUamvj_KmGEPO2VfhcL3as4pOpybnkR4wzNqZlpidDlOYjHHoG-YVXMq5R4EQ7TEFSDtnk7Tutt8z7fBRg/s1792/RCO015_1469484099.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="1792" height="114" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb_K9vyKQkXbo1NLy-FZEOASJWf173dBlmCbBeKjN50ChWE8Y5RgmnN9rj7O_H6L7NxJBTEIEqPgAm31fHCzYq7odIRkK9UYfDC5W4KfbhKUamvj_KmGEPO2VfhcL3as4pOpybnkR4wzNqZlpidDlOYjHHoG-YVXMq5R4EQ7TEFSDtnk7Tutt8z7fBRg/w400-h114/RCO015_1469484099.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A game of Pie Face gone wrong?</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div><div align="left">Ghost Rider last appeared in Ghost Rider (1990) # 25.

The Ghost Rider/X-Men crossover continues into Ghost Rider (1990) # 26, X-Men (1991) # 9, and concludes in Ghost Rider (1990) # 27.<br />
</div>
<div align="left"><b>CHAIN REACTION</b></div><div align="left">The Ghost Rider/X-Men crossover begins, even though Ghost Rider himself is relegated to an end of issue cameo appearance.<br />
<br />
If there was any question that Ghost Rider had hit the heights of popularity in the early 1990s, this crossover answered it definitively. Jim Lee's X-Men was the highest selling comic book of ALL TIME, and here it was not just guest-starring Ghost Rider but participating in a full-blown 4-issue crossover. That kind of thing is unthinkable today, because while the X-Men aren't the sales juggernaut they used to be they're still one of Marvel's big guns. Could you image a crossover between Extraordinary X-Men and the Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider series? But back in 1992, the two properties were near equals in terms of sales and popularity, and that makes me wonder if this crossover was a result of marketing synergy instead of a creative desire to mix the two titles.<br />
<br />
If anything, at least the X-Men's motivation for participating in the story is legitimate, since it springs from the back story of one of the regular cast. Gambit's origin story, told here along with his real name for the first time, gives the X-Men a clear reason to travel to New Orleans. Ghost Rider, on the other hand, has a more coincidental role, in that he's just there looking for John Blaze to help resolve a completely unrelated plot. Ghost Rider's involvement feels very forced and tangential, even in the issues of his own comic that serve as parts 2 and 4 of the crossover. <br />
<br />
This issue, which is thought of as Part 1 of "Brood Trouble in the Big Easy" but really just serves as a prologue, takes up much of its time with the Bishop/Gambit conflict. The Gambit connection between that plot and the New Orleans stuff makes them tie together a little, but it does seem like two issues worth of story were just bolted together haphazardly, especially when Bishop makes no further appearances throughout the crossover. Also, like I said this issue gives Gambit's back story, and this was when the sheen started to come off of the character. The whole Guild nonsense weighed Gambit's character down like an anchor after it was introduced here, and it killed his mystique almost instantly. Gambit was one of the most popular X-Men at the time, and this story effectively ended that.<br />
<br />
The artwork by Jim Lee is, of course, solid work. The man made his name on the X-Men, and his take on the characters are understandably definitive for a lot of fans. He's missing his usual embellisher, Scott Williams, and it certainly affects the art. Lee and Thibert add way too much crosshatching, there are lines everywhere, and it doesn't have the tightness that Williams usually brought to Lee's work. There's also the baffling decision by Lee to put Rogue in the skimpiest outfit ever for a lakeside picnic, showing more skin that Psylocke in her bathing suit earlier in the issue. That wouldn't be a problem, other than the fact that the slightest skin-to-skin contact with Rogue results in powerloss and falling into a coma. It's cheesecake artwork based around an inappropriate character, but that was sadly par for the course in 1992. Lee's Ghost Rider, who appears at the issue's end in appropriately dramatic fashion, isn't that great. He excels at drawing superheroes, but his Ghost Rider doesn't really work when taken out of the gritty atmosphere of his own series.<br />
<br />
This crossover was a HUGE deal when it was being released, but this was at most just a tease for what was to come. You could probably skip this chapter and go straight into Ghost Rider # 26 without much confusion.</div><div align="left" class="style7"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJxWOBesLDDJ7h0jWlmCVngnN-YpPsYtDv0B_VIFH3wGD__iQjVy_XSQP5w7rAauANZgI5oarRd50tVaBwOObn1IOHicCi0YCsmEiscoz7L2uhmx5lMK86iSrdwuNfF2pue2mtcPc199ou10xOZI96J_63iQdg3kwXKn0yUydnoOqC_7Q4_NGQa0JgZg/s2013/RCO021_1469484099.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="2013" height="125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJxWOBesLDDJ7h0jWlmCVngnN-YpPsYtDv0B_VIFH3wGD__iQjVy_XSQP5w7rAauANZgI5oarRd50tVaBwOObn1IOHicCi0YCsmEiscoz7L2uhmx5lMK86iSrdwuNfF2pue2mtcPc199ou10xOZI96J_63iQdg3kwXKn0yUydnoOqC_7Q4_NGQa0JgZg/w400-h125/RCO021_1469484099.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Officer Cletus is about to have a bad night.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />

Suddenly, Satan appears and tells his servant that Roxanne must be sacrificed in his temple, and only then will Crash regain his rightful body. Curly hides Roxanne in a large barrel and wheels her outside, where he catches a cab.</div>

<div align="left">
Elsewhere, the Ghost Rider tears down a deserted highway on his motorcycle, attempting to collect his thoughts. He is quickly spotted by a parked police car, who give chase after Blaze. Johnny weighs his options of either stopping and letting the police see him or running. He decides to try and escape, and speeds off into the night. After a harrowing chase, Blaze realizes that he won't easily lose the officers. He races toward a destroyed bridge, which he jumps on his cycle. The police, unable to pursue, state their disbelief at what they just witnessed. Later, the Ghost Rider seeks refuge in a cemetery, where he decides to stop and rest. Meanwhile, Curly arrives at the temple, where he tells his satanic followers to prepare a black mass. He takes Roxanne into the basement and lays her on a large altar, where she will be sacrificed at midnight. </div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
Having fallen asleep in the cemetery, Blaze is awaken at dawn by his transformation back into his human form. Realizing what time it is, he races back to Madison Square Garden, where he is scheduled to perform another cycle show. An hour before the show, Johnny is told by his road manager, Bart Slade, that Roxanne has been missing since the night before. Blaze flies into a rage, threatening Bart that if he doesn't find Roxanne soon, he'll be fired. An hour later, at the start of the show, Johnny apologizes to Slade, unaware that the manager has plans to steal Roxanne away from him. After the show, Slade tells Blaze that one of the guards saw a curly-haired individual leaving the locker rooms the night before. Johnny realizes that it was Curly who took Roxanne, and decides to go find him as soon as it gets dark. </div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
That night, the Ghost Rider busts into the hangout of Satan's Servants, Curly's cycle gang. The demonic biker traps the hoodlums in a ring of fire and commands that they tell him where to find Curly. They tell him that he hangs out at a strange church a few blocks away. At that moment, Curly and his followers prepare the altar for the black mass. They bring out Roxanne, who is dressed in ceremonial garb, and chain her to the altar. Curly snaps his fingers, and Roxanne awakens from her trance. As Curly begins to bear down on her with a large knife, Johnny rides down the stairs of the church on his motorcycle, melting the knife with a blast of hellfire. The cult members quickly scatter, but Johnny is quickly stopped in tracks by the appearance of Satan, who tells Johnny that only the death of his servant can stop her sacrifice. Both Blaze and Curly agree to a duel, but Satan then reveals his pawn's true form, that of Crash Simpson, and gives him a weapon: the flaming blade of Hell itself. Roxanne screams for Johnny not to hurt her father, but as Blaze says: "Either he dies -- or we do!" </div>

If the series was to have new content, I'm not sure why Marvel didn't just go for a continuity implant series that featured "untold tales" of Johnny Blaze. Anyone picking this series up because they were a 90s Ghost Rider fan was likely mighty perplexed by the cowboy story in the back, because without the characters sharing the Ghost Rider name there's really no connection between Blaze and Slade. What does a guy on a horse in a ghost costume have to do with early 1970s Ghost Rider? Absolutely nothing, which makes this a really bizarre choice.</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
Still, the Phantom Rider strips had art by the character's co-creator, Dick Ayers, who still does a great job on the strip 25 years after the original series. Future Marvel superstar, Dan Slott (of Amazing Spider-Man fame these days) gives us a by-the-numbers introduction to Slade that kind of saps the character of anything remotely mysterious or interesting. "I'm the Phantom Rider and this is how I pretend to be a ghost" doesn't really make for compelling storytelling, but I guess Slott did what he could with the 8 pages allotted to him.</div>

<div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left">A biker gang called Satan's Servants rides through the darkened New York streets, looking for someone to beat up. Their leader, a rider in a masked helmet named Curly, notices a lone rider ahead, and orders the gang to attack. The Ghost Rider turns and sees the advancing gang, and instead of fighting decides to run. When he quickly realizes that he can't outrun his pursuers, Blaze turns and lights the ground aflame with his hellfire, which causes most of the gang to run in terror. The only one that stays to confront Johnny is Curly, who invites Blaze to join the gang. Curly takes the Ghost Rider back to the gang's crash pad, where the other bikers give a less than friendly welcome to their new member. The gang leader takes Blaze into a back room and asks him to tell him everything about him, specifically why he has a flaming skull for a head. Johnny cannot help but talk, as Curly seems to possess almost hypnotic powers, and tells the biker his life story, including the origins of his curse. Curly then commands Blaze to go to sleep, and he falls to the floor. Surprisingly, Curly paints a pentagram on his chest and says aloud an incantation, which summons Satan himself into the room. The Hell-Lord commends his servant by allowing him to take his true form, that of Crash Simpson, who has struck a deal to return to life, with the cost being Johnny's soul. However, Satan is unable to claim Blaze's soul, as Roxanne's pure spirit still protects him. The demon tells Crash that he must first remove Roxanne, and only then will he retain his true form. Satan disappears, causing Crash to revert back to his guise as Curly.</div><div align="left"><br /></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
The next morning, Johnny awakens in the biker gang's house, and slips out unnoticed. He returns to his hotel, where is confronted by Roxanne. He begins to tell her about his curse, but stops himself at the last minute, causing her to leave in anger. Blaze falls asleep, and sleeps until nightfall, when he is awakened by his transformation into the Ghost Rider. Immediately after, Curly walks in and tells Blaze that his cycle gang is going to kidnap Roxanne during her cycle show that night. Johnny immediately runs to his bike, and takes off toward Madison Square Garden. </div><div align="left"><br /></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
Right before Roxanne's performance is set to start, Satan's Servants bust into the arena on their cycles. One of the bikers, Animal, grabs the girl by the waist and rides toward the exit, but is cut off by the Ghost Rider. The two then perform a death-defying chase through several of the arena's bike stunt ramps, until Blaze finally gets a chance to throw a bolt of hellfire. Animal wipes out, but neither he nor Roxanne are injured. Rocky recognizes Johnny, and tells him to take a bow to the crowd and pretend his appearance was part of the cycle show. Satan's Servants are immediately rounded up by the police and taken to jail. </div><div align="left"><br /></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
A few minutes later, Johnny and Roxanne talk, and she tells him that she saw Johnny's transformation the night he sold his soul to Satan, and that she recognized him as soon as she saw him. Johnny brushes aside her offers to help him, saying that he can offer nothing but danger and eventually death, and rides away into the night. Hours later, a distraught Roxanne is confronted by Curly in her dressing room. He hypnotizes her to sleep, and then declares that he will do anything to return to life, even sacrifice his own daughter.</div><div align="left"><br /><span><a name='more'></a></span> </div><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicuYG3V-RlHfYOj04FDKcAbKFjtDlZOKA2M9dsgWm3pB7aolO78g7gZ_wfLyGXgyCelp9V3ggH_vS5lQuZbxXYzEnJXMLLayNoNaDjW-x2axsx7Oe5-DKcSx7NwAtAO-J4FDGhqT7wo1PE09TlD_ltk0Sdjg8EjpE0huz0AIJv5LQZ5JOxJ48PyTM-gA/s927/RCO006_1494470182.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="927" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicuYG3V-RlHfYOj04FDKcAbKFjtDlZOKA2M9dsgWm3pB7aolO78g7gZ_wfLyGXgyCelp9V3ggH_vS5lQuZbxXYzEnJXMLLayNoNaDjW-x2axsx7Oe5-DKcSx7NwAtAO-J4FDGhqT7wo1PE09TlD_ltk0Sdjg8EjpE0huz0AIJv5LQZ5JOxJ48PyTM-gA/w400-h190/RCO006_1494470182.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Really getting into the act, huh Johnny?</td></tr></tbody></table><div align="left"><b><br /></b></div><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div><div align="left">This issue is a reprint of Marvel Spotlight on Ghost Rider (1972) # 6.</div><div align="left"><br /></div>

The colors seem more vibrant than in the original, but if the art has been touched up or re-colored I can't say, since just like in the original the colorist is absent from the credits. That's not surprising, since at the time of original publication colorists were routinely dropped from the creator boxes. </div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left">I do remember first picking up this comic and being flabbergasted by how 1970s it all was. I was a teenager in the 1990s, remember, and was comparing this not just to the recently reprinted early 1980s material but also the concurrent 1990s series. Ploog's artwork was still on form, but the story was such a time capsule for an era I was totally unfamiliar with at the time.

<div align="left">Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider, rides through the streets of New York City and accidentally witnesses two men killing another. Wanting no part of what's happened, he rides on, but is then chased by the killers. Upon trapping him in an ally, the men are shocked to see Blaze's flaming skull. The Ghost Rider points his finger, causing flame to erupt on the ground. The men make a run for it, and Blaze rides back to Madison Square Garden, where he transforms back into his human form. He thinks back to try and remember what happened, hoping to find some answers in the past.</div><div align="left"><br /></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
Johnny's father, Barton Blaze, died in a motorcycle accident when his son was very young. Johnny was then adopted by Crash Simpson, another stunt rider that ran his own cycle show with his wife Mona and daughter Roxanne. Johnny grew into adolescence, and had followed his step-father's footsteps by taking up cycle riding. When he was fifteen, his motorcycle caught fire during a practice session. Though he attempted to save his family, Mona Simpson is killed in the bike's explosion. Before she dies, she makes Johnny promise her that he'll never ride in the show due to the danger, which he agrees to. Five years later, Johnny is discovered riding in secret by Roxanne, who tells him that she is in love with him. Later on, Crash tells the two that he has cancer, and that the show's performance at Madison Square Garden will be his last, if he lives to even see that. </div><div align="left"><br /></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
Determined to keep his step-father from dying, Johnny researches some occult books, finally using them to summon Satan. In exchange for Johnny's soul, the Devil will spare Crash Simpson from the cancer that's killing him. Three weeks later, Crash tells Johnny that he plans to try and break the world's cycle jump record at the Garden. Johnny knows he'll be fine, due to the deal he made with Satan. When Crash attempts to jump it, he doesn't make it, and dies in the resulting accident. Furious at what happened, Blaze suits up, mounts a bike, and does the same stunt...and makes it, breaking the world record. That night, Satan returns to claim Johnny's soul, claiming that he only said he'd spare Crash from the disease and nothing else. As Satan prepares to take Johnny to Hell, Roxanne enters and banishes the demon with the pure essence of her soul. She tells Johnny that she read his books behind his back, and learned how to send the Devil away. The next night, however, Johnny begins to burn with fever, until his head suddenly transforms into a flaming skull. Every night since, he has undergone the transformation into...the Ghost Rider! </div><div align="left"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXFGXSKlnvVI3dPjkKj1jITKkRS0mScbtxIxQcrPw-HyUsjU4MlNe0sUisnh538EBZauZo8zIvizG0ZysI69Yub5iwjBrz1zhwcaMZSRwl9QOwTmrm-YmoZAQpRvZC7Ij4-mVjNipGMmZVT6c9RDE6H_ps3qphJiuS3yIz7_Qp18kCjQMGWllwuzGYGQ/s1024/RCO003_1494467311.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="493" data-original-width="1024" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXFGXSKlnvVI3dPjkKj1jITKkRS0mScbtxIxQcrPw-HyUsjU4MlNe0sUisnh538EBZauZo8zIvizG0ZysI69Yub5iwjBrz1zhwcaMZSRwl9QOwTmrm-YmoZAQpRvZC7Ij4-mVjNipGMmZVT6c9RDE6H_ps3qphJiuS3yIz7_Qp18kCjQMGWllwuzGYGQ/w400-h193/RCO003_1494467311.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Our hero, everyone!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div><div align="left">This issue is a reprint of Marvel Spotlight on Ghost Rider (1972) # 5.</div><div align="left"><br /></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left"><b>CHAIN REACTION</b></div><div align="left">This is a reprint series, so a review of the actual comic is a bit redundant given that I've already reviewed the original issue that was reprinted here. Some of the following issue posts for this series will be review-free, but I wanted to take this space to talk about a very interesting phenomenon that you don't see anymore in comics publishing: the monthly reprint series.</div><div align="left"><br /></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
Today, access to older comics is extremely easy, with a large part of comics history available either in collected editions or online at Comixology. 20 years ago, though, if you wanted to catch up on older issues of a series you had no choice to but to hit up back-issue bins in comic shops, flea markets, or via mail-order services. In the late 1980s, Marvel had a big success with their Classic X-Men series, which reprinted the Chris Claremont run from Giant-Size X-Men # 1 on up, packaged with new back-up stories that tied into the issues being reprinted. For a lot of fans, myself included, it was the best way to read those older (and expensive) comics. Even when Classic X-Men dropped the new material and became reprint-only, the series still lasted for years as a decent seller.</div><div align="left"><br /></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
Fast forward to the early 1990s, when Ghost Rider had just been relaunched as a huge success. The second year of the series saw the return of Johnny Blaze to comics pages, and as a tie-in Marvel released a 7-issue series called The Original Ghost Rider Rides Again, which reprinted the last 14 issues of the first Ghost Rider series to catch new readers up on who Johnny was and what his status quo had become prior to his 1991 return. The series was a big hit, because new Ghost Rider fans had never been given the opportunity to read them before. So the following year, Marvel decided to give Ghost Rider an ongoing reprint series that started from his first appearance in the same vein as Classic X-Men. The reprint series lasted 20 issues before falling as one of the first victims of the mid-90s across-the-board decline in comic sales. Can you imagine something like that happening today? The only new material involved in this series was an occasional Phantom Rider back-up story, which wasn't much of a draw. Marvel tried to revive the reprint series back in the mid-2000s with the Avengers Classic series, which only lasted less than a year despite the inclusion of new material from well-known creators.</div><div align="left"><br /></div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div align="left">
For me, personally, this series was the first opportunity I had to read the early Ghost Rider comics of the 1970s, and if you're in the market for having those issues I'd recommend picking these up as a significantly cheaper alternative to the originals.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8BblllMMVlhf3QpGm9uOj8nhUf-vkO_kw0XHqs2UIdQKWxTtjmvRJ7l8gGn3JlrCVOASLkQli75-nZC6Y3EHKpxEfiYa4xLNiGmdpmX-FXHzLbEiUigxx6mcxDKouyEUT4JhFBQg1q44qw5JZA_YLLBwqPNJTEDBTkGagAnjxopBl9QlTdV7z0WPLBQ/s1023/RCO014_1494467311.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="542" data-original-width="1023" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8BblllMMVlhf3QpGm9uOj8nhUf-vkO_kw0XHqs2UIdQKWxTtjmvRJ7l8gGn3JlrCVOASLkQli75-nZC6Y3EHKpxEfiYa4xLNiGmdpmX-FXHzLbEiUigxx6mcxDKouyEUT4JhFBQg1q44qw5JZA_YLLBwqPNJTEDBTkGagAnjxopBl9QlTdV7z0WPLBQ/w400-h213/RCO014_1494467311.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Satan: the solution to all of life's problems!</td></tr></tbody></table>

<div align="left">Following the loss of Devil Dinosaur, the tween girl genius Moon Girl (real name Lunella Lafayette) is looking for a new partner. After a brief excursion to the Mojoverse to meet the X-Babies, she sets her sights on Johnny Blaze. She finds him about to start a race in New York City with two other Spirits of Vengeance who have been pulled from different times. This race, held once every Solstice, has dire consequences for the loser. Moon Girl hops on the back of Blaze's bike, but when the race starts he immediately hits a car in the intersection, which allows a little kid Ghost Rider on a flaming big wheel to race ahead. Moon Girl loans Blaze her roller skates and hops on his shoulders to give chase, eventually leading to all three of them crashing right before reaching the finish line. They're then passed by an Old Timey Ghost Rider on an old style bicycle, who wins the race. Moon Girl leaves as the three Spirits of Vengeance argue with one another about rematches, eventually turning into a brawl on the street.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6IxmdwK1x-hRGicvwI2b8sQsvk_BTfo_dbRsRx3J2dNk_wSFGqrMwh9MfgmKwOljDMeUPMD9s_-Cp1C9_4qIDuzM-oJCHwJrcNWxRilzb-tnClYBqTv23O-LAGIybuzslHwqvWW5NDqO6-Vi5zj2zpZ4cIQQ33TmoDe-JcMs4Xq6haB3N5GB4W7CQZQ/s1332/RCO010_1583576142.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1317" data-original-width="1332" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6IxmdwK1x-hRGicvwI2b8sQsvk_BTfo_dbRsRx3J2dNk_wSFGqrMwh9MfgmKwOljDMeUPMD9s_-Cp1C9_4qIDuzM-oJCHwJrcNWxRilzb-tnClYBqTv23O-LAGIybuzslHwqvWW5NDqO6-Vi5zj2zpZ4cIQQ33TmoDe-JcMs4Xq6haB3N5GB4W7CQZQ/w400-h395/RCO010_1583576142.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The first Challenge of the Ghost Riders?</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div><div align="left">Johnny Blaze last appeared in Iceman (2017) # 7 and appears next in Spirits of Vengeance (2017) # 1.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left"><b>CHAIN REACTION</b></div><div align="left">Ghost Rider makes another oddball appearance, but this time the combination of charm and genuine humor makes it a winning comic.</div><div align="left">

The last time Ghost Rider appeared in one of Marvel's left-of-center titles it was in Unbelievable Gwenpool, which started out kind of interesting but settled into being a massive catastrophe. So, when I saw that Johnny Blaze was going to appear in an issue of Moon Girl, a series I had no interest whatsoever in reading, I was not expecting much. I will happily admit that my expectations should have been higher, because this is one cute and funny comic book.<br />
<br />
Montclare and Stanton really lean in to how ridiculous the Ghost Rider concept can get, what with their highly imaginative Spirits of Vengeance that are racing against Blaze. It's naturally meant as a joke appearance for Ghost Rider, I mean no one really expected him to become Moon Girl's co-star, and I would hope that readers would accept it as a humorous interlude between the character's more serious appearances. Unlike Gwenpool, this comic is actually funny, and it embraces the outlandish idea of flaming skeletons on wheeled vehicles in a way that doesn't insult the character. The little kid SoV on the big wheel and the old time bicycle rider are great visual gags, and Moon Girl surprisingly has a lot of chemistry with Blaze during their few pages of interaction.<br />
<br />
The artwork, too, helps to sell the tone and nature of the story. This was a jam comic, with several short stories drawn by different artists; the Ghost Rider section was drawn by Domo Stanton, and she does a really nice job. The lines are clean and fluid, she handles the motion of the race very well, and her panel layouts are imaginative. I'm not sure what other work the artist has done in the past, but her work here was highly enjoyable.<br />
<br />
Overall, I can't believe how much I actually liked not only Ghost Rider's appearance here, bu the comic as a whole. I certainly wouldn't want to see Blaze (or Reyes) in a series like this on a regular basis, but as a nice little one-off it's certainly worth your time to read.<br /><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi56bCNFAEr1O7zENh9QVryL2BalkrwxITyhNrLADeq2zyCBto4vWf1bpLDhoQYGF6UQMQNB82_LcFHhoQC0utOSTMRKnlASoFfALTz-So9WulVJx0oebdBdcdRWZ9ivnAKF5za5J9fhdM1kXL-f8MgQODWYAMT8Xk7hU3NWM1IDOBaCu4hPb3tTvyxsw/s1332/RCO014_1583576142.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="597" data-original-width="1332" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi56bCNFAEr1O7zENh9QVryL2BalkrwxITyhNrLADeq2zyCBto4vWf1bpLDhoQYGF6UQMQNB82_LcFHhoQC0utOSTMRKnlASoFfALTz-So9WulVJx0oebdBdcdRWZ9ivnAKF5za5J9fhdM1kXL-f8MgQODWYAMT8Xk7hU3NWM1IDOBaCu4hPb3tTvyxsw/w400-h179/RCO014_1583576142.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">You and me both, Moon Girl.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />

<div align="left">One million years ago, during the Stone Age of the Marvel Universe, a group of heroes assembled by Odin (including the original incarnations of the Black Panther, Phoenix, Starbrad, Iron Fist, and the Sorcerer Supreme) have been in battle with a giant alien Celestial. The last of the "Prehistoric Avengers" is the Ghost Rider, who swears vengeance upon the Celestial for the death of his mammoth. When the Celestial stirs, Odin and the others charge forward to attack.</div><div align="left">
<br />
In the present day, Robbie Reyes is asleep in his car before being awakened by a police officer demanding to see his identification. Robbie speeds away, confused when he realizes he drove in his sleep to Cape Town, South Africa. He's attacked by the current wielder of the Starbrand, Earth's "energy defense system", who claims that they have been drawn to the area to find something. While Robbie has no idea what Starbrand is referring to, the attacking hero states that no one can be allowed to find and claim it. Robbie transforms into the Ghost Rider and fights back, with their fierce battle taking them to an archaeological excavation site overseen by SHIELD. Starbrand dismissively murders the SHIELD agents and the battle moves on, allowing the surviving archaeologists to descend into the excavated cave. Inside, deep in the earth, they find the Celestial buried by Odin, which kills them with its giant hand. Back on the surface, Ghost Rider is able to finally defeat Starbrand by giving him the Penance Stare. Consumed by the pain he has caused others, Starband dies in a massive explosion. Robbie transforms back to his human form and is extremely confused that he was able to utilize the Penance Stare. As he gets in his car and drives back toward Los Angeles, the Asgardian trickster god Loki arrives in the cave as the "inheritor" of the Celestial.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div align="left"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjln_3SEfoCmZ5qnGMZeGt0rBecxEwU97UjMgRfCMT3LZlC-2idWXJKZAZBrQeO8bgGnw3R3vAvuXNDcTRvdBq4APB8jsAVvrlAqV1v25jvlgZBNifz0KH7pSOC3iJG4ouhndVlQ7HRTEg06qkDD0xxFMVZP1P_ssG-HOPu_wKgVIT2HLzIzMP7RUXanw/s1332/RCO013_1582255310.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="787" data-original-width="1332" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjln_3SEfoCmZ5qnGMZeGt0rBecxEwU97UjMgRfCMT3LZlC-2idWXJKZAZBrQeO8bgGnw3R3vAvuXNDcTRvdBq4APB8jsAVvrlAqV1v25jvlgZBNifz0KH7pSOC3iJG4ouhndVlQ7HRTEg06qkDD0xxFMVZP1P_ssG-HOPu_wKgVIT2HLzIzMP7RUXanw/w400-h236/RCO013_1582255310.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"># Legit</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div align="left"><b>THE ROADMAP</b></div><div align="left">Robbie Reyes last appeared in The Unbelievable Gwenpool # 15 and appears next as a cameo in Iceman (2017) # 7.</div><div align="left">
<br />
The Stone Age Spirit of Vengeance is now the earliest Ghost Rider to be shown on panel; before this, the earliest was the insane Spirit of Vengeance of Thule from Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch (2008) # 3. How this all fits with the Biblical origins of the Spirits of Vengeance from Ghost Rider (2006) # 33 is unknown at this time. His origin story is told in Avengers (2018) # 7.<br />
<br />
This issue seems to state that Robbie Reyes is in fact possessed by a Spirit of Vengeance, what with his use of the Penance Stare and him being identified by Starbrand as a "descendant" of the Stone Age Ghost Rider. Prior to this, Robbie's possessing spirit was his evil uncle, Eli Morrow, a Satanist serial killer that used black magic to become a supernatural entity as revealed in All-New Ghost Rider (2014) # 8.<br />
<br />
There are, of course, many other plotlines and characters running through this comic, I just decided to only focus on the parts relevant to Ghost Rider. Other notable events include the Avengers teaming up to stop some Frost Giants and the return of Wolverine.<br />
<br /><b>CHAIN REACTION<br /></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Marvel Legacy launches the publisher's revamped line of titles with this special giant-sized one-shot that surprisingly features a whole lotta Ghost Rider.</div></div><div align="left">
<br />
I admit, I wasn't prepared for how much attention and love Ghost Rider was shown in this comic. I knew from interviews and preview art that the prehistoric Avengers team introduced here was going to feature a Spirit of Vengeance (on a woolly mammoth no less), and I believe writer Jason Aaron may have mentioned getting to write Robbie Reyes for the first time. Still, though, I had no idea Robbie would wind up getting a starring role, let alone the main action sequence of the book. I considered it a very pleasant and welcome surprise.<br />
<br />
I suppose I shouldn't have been too surprised, given Aaron's history with Ghost Rider. The writer had a long tenure with the Spirit of Vengeance over ten years ago, his run on the character is easily one of the highlights in Ghost Rider history, and seeing him return in any capacity is a reason to celebrate. It's also not surprising that a team of "prehistory Avengers" would include a Spirit of Vengeance, considering that it was Jason Aaron who introduced the Ghost Riders throughout history lineage during his run on the series. The Stone Age Ghost Rider introduced here, though, was a huge disappointment. The run-up to this comic was filled with press releases and art teases for this team of characters, that this was the big introduction to them, and I remember the huge fan reaction to the mammoth riding Spirit of Vengeance. Then, the issue comes and the team of heroes get only a few pages of introduction, and the mammoth has been killed off panel. For such hype that was thrown at fans, the prehistoric Avengers were a big, fat goose egg. Here's hoping Aaron gets to revisit them at some point (and in all honesty, that's probably an inevitability), and I'll try not to hold any of the unfulfilled hype for this issue against him.<br />
<br />
Amidst all of the subplots and character check-ins that he has to include in this comic, I was really happy to see Aaron include the touch-stone fight scene between Robbie Reyes and Starbrand. Another surprise, that Aaron went with Reyes instead of Blaze for this issue's Ghost Rider, though I suppose it does fit with the "legacy" motif. See, also, the other main focus of the comic surrounding Falcon Captain America, Jane Foster Thor, and Ironheart, all inheritors of their respective legacies. For better or worse, Reyes is here to stay as a Ghost Rider, and it was really refreshing to see him in the hands of a writer other than his creator, Felipe Smith. Robbie was still the same character, easily recognizable, but Aaron's take on the character shows a sharp contrast to what Smith had been doing. In his appearances before this, Smith had taken great pains to differentiate Robbie from Blaze and the other Spirits of Vengeance, making him in essence a Ghost Rider in name only. In this comic, however, Aaron seems to be pulling back on those differences by making Robbie's Ghost Rider more in line with what's come before. It allows Reyes to fall more naturally under that "legacy" umbrella, because without it he'd be a completely unrelated character to the group that Aaron introduced in the Stone Age opening to this comic. I'm really curious to see where Reyes goes from here, what with his newly-acquired Penance Stare; I hope it gets flagged up as the inconsistency that it is, instead of future writers just shrugging their shoulders and writing him as another version of Johnny Blaze.<br />
<br />
Esad Ribic has become Marvel's go-to-artist for world changing and universe defining storylines, from Aaron's initial run on Thor to the Secret Wars event series from a few years back. His painted pencil work has this mythical, ethereal quality to it that really lends itself well to stories like this. While other artists are drafted in for other subplots and story pages, the important chunks of the comic are handled by Ribic, and they look magnificent. The Stone Age Avengers all look decidedly caveman-esque while still retaining visual nods toward their descendants, though the Spirit of Vengeance just looks like a guy with his head on fire. There's no skull, just a halo of fire around his head, and that's a little underwhelming. He didn't even get to draw the damned flaming mammoth! He makes up for it with the fantastic Ghost Rider/Starbrand battle, though, which is simultaneously epic and personal for the characters involved. The panel that shows Robbie just as he's transformed into Ghost Rider is one of those "fuck yeah!" moments that every book like this needs.<br />
<br />
So, even though the Legacy relaunch kind of fell apart after a few months, this was still a pretty wicked kick-off to it. Ghost Rider gets some time in the big league spotlight and Jason Aaron leaves readers wanting more. All in all, this was a damn good time for Ghost Rider fans.<br /><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUAvoEQFsJ8-2n7gat2ce0tAGhkX3qD91THARPGTZntdM_TZlr66rZsnkd5rjejBR2f3cRkr-E12ibIExpLp7o3Bya1QW_03aK6EELBwASBwA4DChaNZV4P89Z4YdEn-HtPmOzk1TXVUd6gbWtDcm4DT3rfDBOzQt53NDOQFn7YLrYWAhpnuBId7U5Ww/s1332/RCO037_1582255310.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1042" data-original-width="1332" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUAvoEQFsJ8-2n7gat2ce0tAGhkX3qD91THARPGTZntdM_TZlr66rZsnkd5rjejBR2f3cRkr-E12ibIExpLp7o3Bya1QW_03aK6EELBwASBwA4DChaNZV4P89Z4YdEn-HtPmOzk1TXVUd6gbWtDcm4DT3rfDBOzQt53NDOQFn7YLrYWAhpnuBId7U5Ww/w400-h313/RCO037_1582255310.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Penance Stare, please!</td></tr></tbody></table><br />
