Johnny Blaze, the Spirit of Vengeance is BACK. We're firing on all cylinders and I can't wait for everyone to see the hellfire we're bringing! It's about to get crazy!įrom the accounts of Percy and Smith, it seems Ghost Rider's new series is going to be one hell of a ride for the hero. “As a comic nerd and a horror nerd, Ghost Rider has always been a favorite of mine so this project is a dream come true. I'm incredibly excited to be riding shotgun with Ben Percy as we bring Ghost Rider screaming into his 50th anniversary,” Smith adds. Smith also expressed enthusiasm about taking on the Ghost Rider, as he said the character has always been a favorite of his and that the project is a "dream come true." Prepare yourself for the ultimate in road horror. Cory Smith is killing it on art, and we're going to honor the past while burning rubber into a terrifying future packed with mystery, action, and shadow-soaked emotion. It would be badass to write this series at any point in my life, but launching on the 50th anniversary feels especially (un)holy. Ghost Rider is arguably the best designed, but inarguably, the most heavy metal character in all of comics. He called the hero "the most heavy metal character in all of comics" while teasing a "terrifying future packed with mystery, action, and shadow-soaked emotion."
Percy, who's currently writing both X-Force and Wolverine for Marvel Comics, said that his horror roots meant that he was very familiar with Ghost Rider. Then, when he's awake, he sees "bloody visions." Marvel teases that there's a "spirit in him that's begging to break out." Check out the cover for issue one by Kael Ngu.
