Ghost Rider

Cosmic Ghost Rider Reading Order!

July 30, 2021 by Charlotte Fierro Leave a Comment

Take 90s Marvel comics, mix them all up together, bake them into a single character, and you’ll get the Cosmic Ghost Rider. A servant of Thanos, he is a Ghost Rider imbued with Galactus’ Power Cosmic, and if all that isn’t enough, (and spoiler alert for the Rider’s identity – highlight following text to see!) he’s also an alternate timeline version of Frank Castle, the Punisher.

Created by Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw in the 2019 Thanos miniseries as part of the Thanos Wins storyline, the Rider is an incredibly powerful character, who sounds like the ultimate trump card in a “who would win in a fight?” argument. “Oh, you think your character is powerful? Well my character has the Power Cosmic and a cool Hell-powered space motorcycle with chains made from the bones of Cyttorak, whatcha gotta say to that!?”.

Since Thanos Wins, the Rider has joined the main Marvel Universe as a Deadpool-like figure, mixing violence and self-aware jokes. (coming from a future timeline, he already knows Marvel history and tends to interfere with events when he’s not supposed to). [Read more…] about Cosmic Ghost Rider Reading Order!

Monsters, Mayhem, and Marvel Horror in The Rise of the Midnight Sons

Lilith (the Mother of All Monsters!) has risen from her slumber, and a new group of antiheroes form to challenge this age-old threat. They are the loosely connected Midnight Sons, and each one of them will play a role in fighting off the demonic Lilith and her many horrifying children.

With an influx of scary villains, extreme action sequences, and earnest looks into a reluctant hero’s tortured inner world, the early days of the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider era infused contemporary superhero comics with a sort of hyper-violent neo-noir sensibility. This created a series that suited the overall vibe of Marvel Comics while featuring a uniquely sensitive and conflicted hero. Leading into Rise of the Midnight Sons, we’re following the path carved out by Danny Ketch’s earlier appearances, making this a rare crossover that successfully juggles the introduction of many new premises while remaining entrenched in a sense of undeniable history.

Introducing Robbie Reyes: The All-New Ghost Rider Omnibus

May 17, 2021 by Sara Century Leave a Comment

The Ghost Rider has been one of the most prominent spooky antiheroes of mainstream comics since way back in 1972, and it’s hard to imagine a Marvel Universe without him creeping around its edges and popping in for the occasional crossover. Though Johnny Blaze was the original and Danny Ketch was his predecessor, there are countless other Ghost Riders that have never been explored at length.

When Marvel’s All-New line was in its planning stages, they approached writer and artist Felipe Smith to create a new Ghost Rider with the stipulations that he had to be young and he needed to drive a car rather than a motorcycle. Out of these sparse guidelines, Robbie Reyes was born. A Ghost Rider with a unique powerset and a troubled relationship with the spirit of a serial killer that he has been bonded with, Reyes brought a whole new edge to the Ghost Rider mythos in Ghost Rider: Robbie Reyes – The Complete Collection, while keeping the visual and thematic appeal of the character fully intact.

Collects: All-New Ghost Rider #1 to #12, Ghost Rider #1 to #5, What If? Ghost Rider (2018) #1 [Read more…] about Introducing Robbie Reyes: The All-New Ghost Rider Omnibus

The Best Ghost Rider Comics!

February 27, 2021 by Sara Century 1 Comment

Ghost Rider has long been one of Marvel’s more offbeat properties, and that’s what makes it great. Who knew a loose analog of Evel Knievel with a flaming skull head and demonic powers that elevate him to the living embodiment of vengeance was going to stick around? Not me! Yet stick around he did, and our Ghost Rider has been hopping about the Marvel Universe and beyond for decades: a skull-head kind of guy doing skull-head kinds of things.

Midnight Sons & Darkhold Reading Order!

January 30, 2019 by Dave Leave a Comment

This Patreon request for a “Midnight Sons” reading order sent me down a deep (sometimes literally) dark hole into the supernatural mythology on the fringes of the Marvel Universe. [Read more…] about Midnight Sons & Darkhold Reading Order!
