The new series, beginning with Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #1, is seemingly set to conclude Johnny Blaze’s arc as Ghost Rider. While there have been other iterations of the fan-favorite Marvel character over the years, Blaze is perhaps the most associated with the role. This makes the following description shared by Marvel on their official website all the more enthralling:I have no idea why they think Marvel fans would find this "enthralling". The House of Ideas was destroyed long ago, and while some will say it'd be for the best if they closed shop altogether, that still doesn't mean it's great to see them going out on such insulting notes as possibly having Ghost Rider die in a very bad way. If anything, nobody should buy what C.B. Cebulski and company have in store, no matter how things turn out for Johnny Blaze.
“Continuing Benjamin Percy’s acclaimed and thought-provoking work on the Ghost Rider mythos, the new series will see the Spirit of Vengeance fall into the wrong hands and fans won’t believe who it is! Now, Johnny Blaze must embark on an epic quest to become Ghost Rider again before the newly possessed uses its demonic power for a dark purpose.”

This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.
