The only thing that’s really getting me with this run is Zadkeil. Everyone knows about him yet he just comes out of the blue into the marvel universe! I really think that Aaron should have taken some time to further explain how deep the religion of Zadkeil runs because everywhere Johnny goes there is a handful of his worshipers waiting to take out Blaze. And you think that the devil would have used the Zadkeil information sooner to possibly get Johnny on his side as opposed to right before he got his butt kicked.

Looking back at one page I saw of the new artist (can someone refresh me on what his name is?) There was that Ghost Rider museum. I'm thinking that whoever owns that will be the new Caretaker. Heck, it could even be Danny. I don't know why they would but him showing up and the revalation of a new caretaker seems to fit into each other.Also seeing all of those ghost rider villains back to life I’m gonna put my money on that Danny Ketch had something to do with that especially since the one guy Dogbreath was one of the lords of Noble Kales Hell.

Tan Eng Huat :yay: If I'm not mistaken, I think he's from Malaysia, or Indonesia. I forget.

Also, I think the villain's name's Doghead, not Dogbreath.

I looked it up a while ago. There are some eBay auctions with the whole crossover for like $15. Kind of expensive still, though. I'm thinking about it.
 
Why didn't they get Howard Mackie to write this???

Im curious to see what this new costume is like.

Great news!
 
Wow! Now that, I never saw coming!!

Great news indeed!

About Mackie, I got a feeling of sorts that Marvel has some sort of a sore spot with him, given his background with the latter parts of the 90's GR run, and Spiderman's Clone Wars. In most interviews also about his tenure with Marvel, he actually sounds bitter, always expalining how "the powers that be" ruined the series.

But yeah, he's exclaimed that he'd do GR again in a heartbeat. I'd definitely love to see him write ol' Ghostie again. After all, it was his genius that got me into the Rider in the first place.
 
Yes. This pleases me. :woot:

Well he did quit Marvel b/c of all the BS they were feeding him over the latter part of Vol. 2's run unfortunately. It's a damn shame he left. If Marvel hadn't been so stupid back then we'd still be reading the series!!

Marvel confirmed at Wizard World Chicago what many readers of Ghost Rider have suspected: The fight between Danny Ketch and Johnny Blaze is about to go down.

Written by Jason Aaron, the story has been building in the comic since Ketch, known to fans as the '90s Ghost Rider, showed up in issue #23 as a servant of the angel Zadkiel. Blaze has been more than a little ticked off at Zadkiel since he found out Ghost Rider was a servant of heaven instead of hell -- and Zadkiel is the angel pulling the strings.

The Danny Ketch character hadn't been seen since his own run as Ghost Rider ended years ago, and there was previously no explanation given for his absence when the new title launched again with Blaze as Ghost Rider. Now that he's shown up on the side of Blaze's nemesis, things are really going to heat up.

While the story of Ketch's journey between his time as Ghost Rider and his choice to work with Zadkiel will be told in a mini-series by Simon Spurrier, Aaron will tell the story of the battle between the two Ghost Riders in the main title beginning with issue #28. Newsarama talked to Aaron to get the scoop on the Ghost Rider vs. Ghost Rider fight.

Newsarama: You surprised readers a bit with that reveal of Danny Ketch in issue #23. Where did the idea for Ketch's return come from?

Jason Aaron: It was editor Aubrey Sitterson who first suggested it. We needed somebody to serve as an earthly lieutenant for Zadkiel, since we knew Zadkiel himself wouldn't be showing up for a while. Aubrey suggested Ketch and at first I was opposed to the idea, just because I didn't want to dredge up all that old Ghost Rider continuity. I wanted to keep the book as new reader friendly as possible. But the more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea, especially the chance to grow Ketch's character a bit. And once the great Simon Spurrier was brought in to write the mini-series that would serve to fill in the blanks in Ketch's story, I was really freed up to just plow right ahead with what I wanted to do.

NRAMA: Danny's clearly working for Zadkiel in his appearance here. Is Danny being mind-controlled by Zadkiel? Or is this a free will choice on his part to follow the angel? And if it's a choice, can you give us a clue as to why he would do that?

JA: He's definitely not being mind-controlled. In the main series, we'll get an explanation of Ketch's rationale, but for the full story you'll need to check out Simon's mini-series, which is just terrific. In addition to telling Ketch's story, it also really expounds on the history of the Spirit of Vengeance, which is really cool.

NRAMA: Zadkiel seems to have everyone wrapped up in his evil wings. Just who is this Zadkiel guy? And what can we expect to see from him in the coming months?

JA: He's a big bad angel is what he is. He's been in charge of heaven's black ops ever since the Flood. Once upon a time, God flooded the entire world because it was so out of control with sin. Afterwards, he promised Noah he wouldn't do that again. Instead, he put Zadkiel in charge of battling demonic insurgents and keeping humanity's excesses in check. When God condemned Sodom and Gomorrah, it was Zadkiel’s crew who swept through the cities, slaughtering every man, woman and child they could find. When the walls of Jericho fell, it was Zadkiel and his warriors who fought alongside Joshua and the Israelites, slaughtering every living thing within the city. They fought with King David, conquering the Philistines. They were at Gettysburg and Guadalcanal. At Rorke’s Drift and Stalingrad and Hamburger Hill. For every Hitler who emerged over the years, there’ve been five more that Zadkiel has kept from being born or from maturing to adulthood. Behind every war over the millennia, every mass murder, every pandemic, there’s been Zadkiel, manipulating all involved, purging sinners, thinning the herd of humanity.

NRAMA: Can you tell us anything about what motivated Ketch's service to this messed-up angel?

JA: That'll be the main story for Simon's book. Ketch's overall rationale was actually inspired by a line from issue #37 of the original Ghost Rider series, one that Michael Fleisher wrote. Ghost Rider says, "The taste of vengeance is as sweet as it is deadly." So the Ghost Rider may be a curse, but the power that comes with it is also quite addictive.

NRAMA: Is it safe to assume that when Danny was Ghost Rider, he was also unknowingly working for heaven and not hell? Or is there a twist we don't know about?

JA: The Ghost Riders seem to have a long history of being lied to, so yeah, that's one of the questions both Ketch and Blaze have these days.

NRAMA: Now that we've been told Danny and Johnny will come into conflict in Ghost Rider #28, can we expect an all-out, chain-swinging brawl? And will it be hand-to-hand between Danny and Johnny, or are minions and/or mind games involved?

JA: This is a big time, Ghost Rider vs. Ghost Rider throwdown the likes of which has never been seen before. In round one, it's just brother vs. brother, Blaze vs. Ketch, but by the end of the arc, there'll be more combatants involved. And wait'll you get a load of them.

NRAMA: If Danny is one of Zauriel's main soldiers on earth, does he have powers? Anything in particular that's going to kind of mess Johnny up when they battle?

JA: All I'll say is, it wouldn't be much of a battle if Ketch didn't have powers. As for what those powers are and how they're the same or different from his old GR powers, we'll just have to wait and see.

NRAMA: Tell the truth. Danny's just jealous, isn't he?

JA: There's maybe a touch of that, yeah, but it's not that simple.

NRAMA: Favorite line or moment you can tell us about in the Johnny vs. Danny conflict?

JA: My favorite part is the ending and where that leaves both characters and how it really flips things on their ear for my second year on the book.

NRAMA: Ghost Rider has always had an element of good vs. evil in his stories, even when his series was its most gritty. But you've taken
the idea of "good" and twisted it by making the angels the bad guys. Among all the kitsch and camp that you've thrown in, is there some commentary here about the battle of good and evil being taken to the extreme on both sides?

JA: Um... yeah, sure, that was my thinking all along. Yeah, that's the ticket.

NRAMA: OK, then tell us what else we'll see coming up from Ghost Rider in the coming months.

JA: Issues #24-25 find Blaze in a maximum security prison, getting his ass kicked by a beefy, Bible-quoting sociopath called The Deacon, and that story also features the debut of new artist Tan Eng Huat. After that, Ketch returns for issues #26-27, along with a bevy of old Ghost Rider villains, including The Orb, Blackout and my favorite, Doghead. There's also a death, a debut and the return of a certain hellfire shotgun. The big arc, titled "The Last Stand of the Spirits of Vengeance," begins with issue #28.

This is from Mighty Avengers #16, page 9. Who is this female character? Does she have to do with the Blazing Skull or the Phantom Rider?
 
looks like elektra. have no idea why her head is on fire though, i thought she was a skrull.
 
I just love that drawing!

There is one thign that is peculiar. On the left, it appears to be the Noble Kale Spirit of Vengeance..but he's on JB's bike. And JB's Spirit of Vengeance appears to be on Danny's Bike.

Am I not seeing this correctly?
 
Thank god they are making things less complicated by allowing 2 spirits of vengeances on the same plane. Crossroads was very dumb for trying to make that rule in motion. If Aaron tried following that we wouldn’t have probably one of the coolest scenes to take place in ghost rider history in a decade.

And in response to Midnyte Sun's response I'm seeing that Danny is on the left but on Johnny’s new bike but Johnny looks like he’s on his old bike at the start of this run.
 
But the knee pads and all (left side)..that looks more like Boschi's Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider does it not?

Also, who drew this awesome piece of work? It kinda looks like Mark Silvestri?
 
Noble Kale looks awesome!!

as long as his suit isn't orange, red and yellow...

I really hope though that Aaron makes sure to make Noble Kale his own clear separate personality from Danny unlike how you can hardly tell Johnny from His SOV.

Thanks for the heads up, Mr. Saltares.

Am I the only one who gets a Zarathosish feel from this look? The pronounced shoulderpads, the more ornate-looking coat, the way the chains are arrayed in a more formal design than Ketch's old, "chains, chains, and more chains everywhere!" look... Maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

Oh, and I like the kneepads and boots--very Mad Max. :D
 
thank you ms,
appreciate it.
tom palmer is inking and i'm
real excited about that.
he's both one of my personal legends
and a real pleasure to work with.
an instantly likeable man. he's hiding stuff
from me i just know it and i can't wait to see
what he's doing with the pages.
jarv
 
We can't wait to see what you two have in store either! Looking at it one more time I notice that there is something behind Ghost Rider? Are those swords? Blades?

Also the fire venting out of his body is a great touch!

I noticed the pads too. Personally I don't like them; they seem out of place.

Nice to have you back around Mr. Saltares, I'm looking forward to seeing your work in the Ketch mini-series. :yay:
 
thank you.
but what do you have against the pads?
i think they're cool!

Hey Jarv can you share with us a few more sketches of the new Ghost Rider? Such as one with his bike??

Thanks!
 
GR vs GR

By Marc Strom

This October, Ghost Rider fans will witness an event more than 15 years in the making.

Danny Ketch and Johnny Blaze come face-to-flaming face in a four-issue arc kicking off with GHOST RIDER #28. And if you want even more of the 90s Ghost Rider, Danny Ketch gets his own limited series this fall, shedding some light on how the fan favorite hero came into the employ of the rogue angel Zadkiel, courtesy of writer Simon Spurrier.

Regular GHOST RIDER writer Jason Aaron promises the GR grudge match won't just fulfill many a fanboy's dream, though. The outcome will also, in his words, "help decide the very fate of Heaven itself."

"Zadkiel needs more power in order to break the stalemate in Heaven and succeed where Lucifer once failed by claiming the throne for himself," Aaron elaborates. "Ketch is the key to Zadkiel getting that power. Blaze is trying to thwart those plans, and when he makes his final stand, he won't be fighting alone."

And just like any good brawl, only one Ghost Rider can stand victorious.

"There most certainly will [be a clear victor,]" the author promises. "And the repercussions will be huge. This arc, along with Simon's series, will dramatically change the landscape for the Spirit of Vengeance."

Spurrier's limited series, catching up on Danny Ketch's activities immediately prior to his re-appearance in Aaron's premier arc, begins with Ketch living the life he always wanted: One free of the Ghost Rider's curse.

"The question is: how's he coping," asks Spurrier. "And how long will it last?"

And while that question drives the core of the series, Spurrier also promises plenty of other morsels for fans to chew on.

"It's about heavenly Weapons of Mass Destruction, occult conspiracies, technomancer weirdness, and having a goddamn battering-ram on the forks of your bike," the British native teases. "Oh, and it's narrated by a talking carrion bird."
