Vengeance must be served! The Ghost Rider Thread

[thecarnalcorpse]

According to the letters section in the back of issue #30 the whole GR origin is so convoluted and screwy that there really isn’t an “official” origin anymore, what with Satan being replaced with Mephisto, then a rewrite later on because of that very fact, then another rewrite…

Anyway, I think we’re just stuck with “convoluted and confusing”, though I think the relaunch with Ennis’ “RtD” did a fantastic job of getting things back on track, so to speak.

And by getting things on track, you mean Ennis taking Blaze and appropriately overriding all of that ridiculous retconning bull-shit.

I mean honestly, after all of this Zadkiel stuff is over, I would really like to know where they intend to take this character. Aside from Road to Damnation this is the best GR has been in a long time. I almost dropped the book right before Jason Aaron came on and has managed to keep me interested thus far. I’m still not totally sold on this whole angel of vengeance deal. If anything it simply clarifies the reason GR has been a “good guy” ever since he made a deal with Satan, I mean…Mephisto, I mean Roxanne made a deal with Zadkiel, I mean…yeah. ;/

So what would be a good jumping on point to check this series out Trade wise?

The Hell Bent and Heaven Bound trade would be an excellent place to start.

I stayed away from this thread for the longest time because (a) I was worried about reading spoilers, (b) Daniel Way was writing it, and © it greatly bothered me that the thread title had a misspelled word. (Sano, please fix it!)

I finally got around to reading Road to Damnation and Trail of Tears a few days ago. I haven’t yet gotten around to the Jason Aaron stuff, but I’m gonna look for the TRADE, BABY in the 50% off TPBs bins at the next convention I go to.

I wrote up my thoughts on Road to Damnation and Trail of Tears in the TRADES, BABY thread, so here I will just say that both are awesome. Trail of Tears is probably my favorite Ghost Rider story that I’ve read so far.

When I was a kid, I had one random issue of Ghost Rider: https://www.atomicavenue.com/atomic/IssueDetail.aspx?ID=169127
I really like that cover.

I also recently read the Captain America/Ghost Rider graphic novel from the '90s. It’s the one where they team up to fight Scarecrow. It was better than I expected for a '90s Howard Mackie comic.

Got it lol thanks! :tup:

Thanks, man. You’re the best!

Next month, we’ll work on maybe getting you to stop writing “could of,” would of" and “should of.” Or is that pushing our luck?

^Not sure, ATM the main plot is stopping Zadkeil.
Recent issue was OK and had some interesting dialogs.
Molek is badass too, I really wish he has an undead camel to ride XD

[deadontime101]

so…I wonder how they actually intend to get up to heaven to stop Zadkiel…guess we’ll find out later. Anyway, is this something that might affect the whole Earth since everybody and their mama felt it?

[deadontime101]

So…wtf just happened in GF? Future GF’s and shit. What?

[Tizoc]

Don’t you mean GRs?

latest issue

Spoiler

The Ghost Riders of 2099 go back in time to encourage Sara not to call it quits just yet

It’s all part of the bizarreness of the GR series.
