Marvel's "Ghost Racers" Rev Up for "Secret Wars'" Battleworld Arena

[Darkspellmaster]

Crossing my fingers and picking it up. I missed out a lot on Robbie's run and I need to get them. Man Marvel, you're taking my money again!

[SickAlice]

Nice too see them throwing the Ghost Rider fanbase a special treat.

Although the All New GR series has lost its way a little bit recently, very excited for this series.

It's supposed to feature the major Riders, so you should be good.

Although now I'm worried that it will have Robbie 'triumph' over Blaze and Ketch, or somehow come out on top so that he ends up being the one and only Ghost Rider.

A bit of Paranoia.

[ImprobableQuestion]

Here he comes, here comes Ghost Racer. He's a demon on wheels. He's a demon and he's always chasing after VENGEANCE.

I think im the only one who prefers that Ketch be the ONLY ghost rider in marvel universe. Blaze no longer holds the mantle and Vengeance was made to be a totally different entity with a different host. It just makes the GR concept so unique. And me seeing all these ghost riderS again just reminded me of aaron's take on GR before and how much i absolutely hated the idea of all these multiple GRs prancing around. its just almost short of seeing a potato head version of a GR. saying it just cheapens the mythos is an understatement.

wishful thinking me thought that with secret wars looming in the background, marvel would finally get rid of that silly fast and furious version of GR..i guess upper management still think its important that a "spirit of vengeance" title still cater to some kiddies' fancy... *facepalm*

You're not the only one. At this point though I would settle for them just not treating Ketch like garbage.

The lack of editorial respect for Dan Ketch is pretty astonishing, although it's not surprising considering how every 90s creation seems to be the target of derision these days.

I have been a huge Ghost Rider fan for almost 25 years, but Marvel hasn't been able to sell me on any of the GR reboots since Jason Aaron left.

I keep holding out hope that maybe Jason Aaron will come back and write a "Ghost Rider & the Midnight Sons" series (with Doctor Strange, Morbius, Blade, etc.).

Call it "Dark Avengers" if it would help steady sales. Whatever. It would be nice just to get some decent GR stories that are a bit closer to the original mold.

Dude, what are you talking about?

Carnage
Onslaught
New Warriors
Sleepwalker
Scarlet Spider
DEADPOOL
Age of Apocalypse
X-Men frigging '92

It's a '90s renaissance right now.

A lot of those characters + concepts were either neglected, ghettoized, or written off into obscurity for a long time. Remember that the New Warriors were obliterated at the beginning of Civil War and there were no appearances by Dan Ketch, Sleepwalker, Darkhawk, Onslaught, and Scarlet Spider for many years. Even Deadpool was cancelled and written off for a long time (remember Agent X?).

I do appreciate that we're starting to see some resurgence in 90s properties, but that doesn't change the fact that Dan Ketch remains as the unwanted stepchild of the Ghost Rider mythos.

Wasn't he a big part of Jason Aaron's run?

You said "these days," not "five years ago."

[Of Atlantis]

All I'm worried about is how much favour Robbie gets over the other Ghost Riders. This is his writer doing this series after all. I'm expecting Blaze and Ketch to play huge roles, but THE Blaze and Ketch, not alternate universe cannon fodder versions. I'm not sure how Secret Wars is supposed to play out regarding if those who emerge from Battleworld make up the new universe or not, but I'm really hoping this doesn't end with Robbie emerging as the ONLY Ghost Rider.

This seems like a super fun title though, I'll be picking it up for sure.

That was 6 years and 2 Ghost Rider books ago. Ketch has been completely MIA since from any title, not just GR.

Oh god... where did the time go?!
