COMICS: GHOST RIDER Series On The Way With A NEW Host For The Spirit Of Vengeance

While Johnny Blaze's Ghost Rider will be joining the Thunderbolts next year, a solo series featuring a new character will also be launched, and as you can see from the teaser image for this article, he'll have a very different look to previous iterations! Read on for details.

As part of the "All-New Marvel NOW!" initiative, a new Ghost Rider series from the creative team of writer Felipe Smith and artist Tradd Moore will be launched in early 2014. However, the Spirit of Vengeance will have a new avatar; Robbie Reyes. He will apparently take on the mantle in order to get revenge against Mr. Hyde after he descends on Los Angeles with a dangerous new drug, while it sounds as if this version of the character will be driving a car instead of a motorcycle! Check out artwork and comments on the series from Smith below.


"Our protagonist is Robbie Reyes, a quiet 18-year-old East Angelino with a short fuse, a passion for electronic music and a nearly unhealthy infatuation with absolutely anything powered by an engine. His vehicle of choice, the automobile, very clearly sets him apart visually. In comparison to his vengeance-seeking predecessors, he's very young and inexperienced in most aspects of life; but as the product of a harsh inner city upbringing, Robbie's street smarts, overall distrust for most people, and clear contempt for his violent surroundings make him the perfect host for a Spirit of Vengeance. Once we get to know him, we also realize that he's a sweet, well-meaning person, something that may not sit well with the Spirit possessing him."

Oh, something new and different! ....sigh. Glad the "young, short-fused personality type" clique isn't dead yet. Are they trying to doom the book?
Better be glow sticks and cameo appearances from Skrillex and Calvin Harris

Off topic, but anyone think Blade would be a good addition to Thunderbolts?

How did I know he'd be black. Marvel has a penchant for that...(see example:me) I like the car idea but the skull is hopefully more of a symbol than a design.

Sounded good until the "Electronic music" part. If it was grunge or something, it would've fit the 90's badass thing they're going for.

If they brought back Danny Ketch I might actually buy a Marvel comic for a change, guess that is not going to happen.
