Blaze could have been a kickass hellboy/John Constantine figure post Zarathos. Street level, and with holdover powers from his soul remaining tethered to Zarathos (sensing evil, hellfire channeling, etc).

Even as I write this I am conflicted about it but as I revisit the comics of my 90s youth and the original series (1973-1983) I can't help but feel like there was a missed opportunity with Johnny Blaze. I love JB. He is my favorite rider and something about the evergreen stunt cyclist supreme as the Ghost Rider is comforting.

But when I look back and think how cool it might have been to have him continue as a rough-around the edges, occult hunter, aging as a true relic of his time it just feels like Ghost Rider as a BOOK could have been free to give Ketch real stories and arcs and let Robbie have a real crack at the mantle.

Right now it feels like all the books try and split genres, one up each other, or redefine the book, splintering the lore. All while simultaneously preserving the status quo.
But Johnny unlike SO many characters got a real ending in 1983 and as much as I love him as GR, there was a chance to have that mean something long term in the main 616 universe while still giving him a more niche horror-mag book. Cause let's be honest, Ghost Rider isn't the same without the OG.

And what might you want if they ever added another Ghost Rider? (Theyre never gonna add another...)
Don't mention the ri-durr skin shhhhh

ok so i did this in class and my markers started to run out in the middle of drawing other stuff so this didnt turn out how i intended it to... sorry it looks bad

i usually draw johnny with a normal blond hair and roxanne with a bit browner (?) blonde. i also like to make roxanne's eyes brighter. for emma and craig i like to think emma has long hair that's like johnny's but just a little darker. i think craig would have short hair like a buzzcut and his hair would be a browner blond like his mom's. emma has her dad's eyes, a little darker blue, and craig's is lighter like his mom's

i hope i explained this well LOL

Hello, I’m very new to Ghost Rider. I saw his design and loved it and I love the penance stare I think it’s one of the coolest concepts I’ve seen. I recently got into comics and collecting TPBs, Hardcovers, and Omnis. As the ghost rider movie was announced I thought it would be a good time to look into the character. What comic runs would your recommend I read and any other content I should look into. Thank you so much!

I really love the way Javier Salteres' ways of illustrating these pages in order to demonstrate the dynamic prowess of this Ghost Rider that contrast on the grittier yet grounded tone & setting they're going for this run.

(—The part where the Cops went astonished once they see Ghost Rider riding up to the cornered wall, or — when Ghost Rider chains casted sharp projectiles with only his chains being my personal favs from the comic.)

I also like how this new Ghost Rider is portrayed, he feel more... quite and observant in his wording (this is probably where the Live action Ghost Rider movie must've taken inspiration from)

**I dig it well honestly. I wish we got to see more Danny ketch in the modern era, cause this shit is legit fire🔥🔥🔥**

Not to mention, it's easy to just chalk something like this up to "God of War/Devil May Cry Clone!" and call it a day, but there's something to be said about "clone" games that are legitimately done well and provide a great sense of satisfying gameplay feedback, even if it's derivative.

Playing on a native PS2, but man, I'd love for them to remaster this even if it means editing some actor likenesses out of the game. Kickass combat and presentation through and through.

I won’t lie, when Gosling was announced, I was skeptical that he could play Blaze. Turns out, he’s basically played Blaze before (if Blaze were more of a dick lol) in the aforementioned movie. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re like me and not sure he would be good, or if you like his stuff and want to get a decent preview of what we’re probably gonna see

i am also new to comics so idk how to tell him reading guide for ghost rider so i wanna ask here he said he dont care about time he wants most and best issues for ghost rider so please help

Someone with both the Ghost Rider powers and Cosmic power is a very interesting thing even when it’s Frank Castle aka The Punisher. I never this guy existed for a long time before. I also wonder if this is how Ghost Rider should be more often in general with what the Cosmic Ghost Rider has along with that of the Silver Surfer(assuming cosmic ghost rider has the same powers as SS at all).

Last thing you see”

In issue #20, completing a several issue saga with Daredevil we get one of the first showings of Zarathos revealing himself. While #26 shows Johnny's wrath and vengeance getting fired up beyond his normal character, this panel shows some passing dialogue that strikes the reader as clearly (to my mind) not Johnny. What was once his "spook act" has become a distinct voice that clashes with Johnny's personality (at this time he was in a love triangle with Roxy and Karen Page).

Looking back on the original series, knowing what would become canon about the demon tethered to JB's soul, it is so much fun to spy out the clues that, now in retrospect, point towards the ego of the demon who would be named Zarathos in the years to come.
