Ghost Rider Annual #1

[Midnyte_Sun]

I just got an email from Marvel stating Ghost Rider will have its own annual. The first issue is set to come out in November.

Check it out baby!

 

[InVictus]

awesome cover!

 

[Cain Estrell]

Holy........!!!!! Definitely lookin' forward to this one! t:

Yeah, another sign of GR's growing popularity! Thanks for informing us, MS. Thumbs up.

 

[crazy sock]

i doubt its mehpisto.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

Dang, very cool!

The angel wings on Mephisto, and the Ghost Rider skull overlooking them both with the birds, and the painting, simply stunning!

Who is the artist, and any word on when this is due to come out?

You know I was gonna post the details of this comic from the website but it had some spoilers in it and I couldn't get myself to read it. The little part that I did read mentioned this guy as someone else. If you notice he's got horns and wings...maybe he's some sort of liason for both sides?

Who knows? We'll see.

 

[Mr.GhostRider]

Awesome, Lucifer and Mephisto are the same for me.

 

[Riding Ghost]

any word on when this is due to come out?

Its due in november, same week as the gr monthly(2nd week) and apparently its a new character with the horns (Mr. Eleven)

 

[-The Rider-]

Wow, thats great!! Seems to me like the art team's still the same team as the ongoing Vol. 3 team. Art looks similar.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Looks very interesting....

 

[NDX]

It will be good to have a story to bid the time while waiting for the current arc to end.

Good to see Ghost Rider doing well enough to warrent an Annual.

 

[The Elite]

I wonder if it's going to be a sucess because when I usually go to the comic book store I see Ghost Rider comics on the floor. Either the spine is damaged or it's pages are ripped.

 

[DoomRulz]

Never saw this before! Looks pretty sik

The artwork on that cover (and in the Annual's interiors) is by Ben Oliver, a fantastic artist who recently worked on Ultimate X-Men and Vigilante for DC. And it's being written by Stuart Moore, who did a wonderful job writing Firestorm for DC last year!

Mmmmmm…. I’m not digging the look on Blaze’s jacket, though. Where’re his SPIKES?!! And what happened to his bike’s skull-insignia ???

The outfit looks like Blaze's original stunt suit from Vol. 1 combined with Ketch's chain.

This will be interesting. And I like the art, although it doesn't really flow to well without the dialogue in those samples.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

Although I'm usually a stickler for art, I'm really interested to see who and what this '11' guy is all about.

Maybe he's some liason or middle man between heaven and hell? Whatever the hell he is, from the look of the cover, looks like he's got everything all figured out.

Yah, it does look very familiar to his original blue suit back in the old days. Except if you examine the other pages, it’s still obviously the same biker outfit Noble originally wore from his time as GR – minus the spike shoulders, bracers and ‘boot rings’.

Still would’ve liked it better if they used Clayton Crain’s more “belt-studded” design (from RTD), though.

Bought and read. It was good! But of course, I have questions now...

1. Who exactly is this Mister Eleven character?
2. Is he really Johnny's ally?
3. How does he relate to Lucifer?

My guess is that he's Hell's local rebel. Some guy who had a crisis of conscience and wanted out. He wants to get back at Lucifer, and he enlists GR's help. Somehow his memory's been wiped clean and that's why he had GR Penance Stare him.

The artwork was alright...personally I don't think GR was drawn very well. Like I said earlier, it looked like Johnny's old stunt suit from Vol. 1, but with a Ketch-ish twist (if that made any sense). Plus GR's head looked more like a simple flame than a raging fire.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

Mister eleven is a double agent for heaven and hell. He is definitely not Johnny's ally, and obviously Lucifer can't trust him so he's obviously a guy who has pissed off lots of people in Heaven and Hell is playing it low key nowadays. Looks like he's trying to get GR after Heaven for his 'master plan' that we have no clue about. The only part about him I was dissapointed at was that he seemed almost as confused as Ghost Rider about his own life and the whole ' I know something you don't know ' charade is getting old.

As for Ghost Rider...I don't understand why he screamed "ARGH" when he got broken glass in his jacket..didn't the writer KNOW that the Spirit of Vengeance feels no physical pain!

I liked how Ghost Rider improvised again during the battle. What it really shows to me is that Ghost Rider is very practical when it comes to defeating his enemies, he does whatever it takes to get the job done!

The artwork was good, I loved the facial expressions, the cool colors and the glowing red (freakin hot as hell) head of GR.

On the whole, I felt like this was the best written Ghost Rider book in a LONG time. Don't know where it's going in terms of Mr. Eleven and his "playing" Johnny, but... I dug it.

 

[NDX]

Had I read this before I bought it, I wouldn't have. It felt like RtD, where Ghost Rider played second banana to Lucifer and Mr. Eleven. The only positive was the art, and even that had its flaws.

Well to be fair, the impression given before the annual came out was that it would focus heavily on this new character of Mister Eleven.
