GHOST RIDER #7
Written by DANIEL WAY
Pencils and Cover by RICHARD CORBEN
"HELL TO PAY" PART 2 (of 2)
Meanwhile, in the present, Ghost Rider knows what needs to be done. The problem is that there's something-someone-holding him back…and it's not Lucifer. It's Johnny Blaze. Will Johnny step aside and let Ghost Rider loose to do what he's meant to do? And should he? After all, it didn't do him any good in the past-as a matter of fact it's what damned him to Hell…both when he first summoned the Ghost Rider and then again, years later, on the day Johnny Blaze died.

GHOST RIDER FINALE
Written by IVAN VELEZ
Art by JAVIER SALTARES & MARK TEXEIRA
Cover by JAVIER SALTARES
The original creative team unites to complete an issue eight years in the making! In early 1998, GHOST RIDER #93 ended with a shocking cliffhanger: the death of Dan Ketch, the Ghost Rider's human host! But the book was canceled prematurely, prior to the release of the series finale in GHOST RIDER #94 - which had already been written and was almost entirely penciled. Now, the final fate of Dan Ketch is revealed at last! With Blackheart deposed, the Ghost Rider is now lord of the Nether Realm. What does he intend to do with his power? And will the other Dark Lords - like Belasco, Pluto and Hela - allow him to keep it? This special edition also includes GHOST RIDER #93 and other bonus material!

[NDX]

Oh ****... I'm screwed.

Issue 7, the Mythos, issue 94 (FINALLY!) and Essentials vol 2 (which I really want)?

Going to hit the bank again that day.

Edit: Damn, the cover to Mythos is great: http://marvel.com/comics/onsale/covers/0107/MYTHGR001_cov_sm.jpg

 

[NDX]

Damn, the cover to the Mythos (http://marvel.com/catalog/?book_id=5764 click the thumb for full) is amazing. Looking forward to getting that issue.

 

[BURNFOREVER]

Damn it, guys.
My heart won´t take it...
I don´t know what to say more, just...i´m very excited right now.
GR4EVR!!!

 

[BIGGUN]

yes...i would have to say right now is the best time for GR fans. so much stuff...so little money...heh
better sell some stocks....quick!

 

[Mr Nick]

I fancy the one containing the 70's comics. Never read any of those.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

I want the last issue of the Ivan Velez run and the Mythos: Ghost Rider.

 

[The68Pie]

im going to get everything besides the tpb's because im on my way to having all of the origionals of those.

 

[Joker]

#7, Mythos, #94, and Essential GR for me

 

[FlameHead]

It's about time I spend some time in these parts. It's been a while.

January is gonna be awesome... or maybe February, which is how long it'll take to save up the money for all this awesome stuff. I'm so pumped about issue 94 though. That will be bought on release day, no doubt about it.

 

[NDX]

This is something amazing to see after 8 years, the colored cover to issue 94 of the second volume of Ghost Rider:

[Ixnay Unbound]

I'll be picking up everything but the trades, since I have all the original issues for both the first GHOST RIDER and CHAMPIONS series. But yeah, January is gonna rock out...and don't forget the MARVEL SPOTLIGHT: GHOST RIDER special that comes out first week of Jan. to kick off this bad-ass month!

 

[The68Pie]

For (almost) 6 weeks straight nothing but new ghost rider comics and the weeks when the last new one comes out the movie is that Friday. This has to be the est thing ever to happen to Ghost Rider fans ever!!!!

 

[NDX]

Jan. 31st is the most important day this month. Issue 94 (seeing the colored cover, it might look better than the original coloring at the end of the series) and Essential GR Vol. 2.

 

[TheGreg]

Man, I bet issue 94 is gonna suck balls. I can only imagine how bad it was that they wouldn't print it.

 

[NDX]

I believe issue 94 wasn't printed not on content but rather sales being so dismal at the time that the distribution of the comic would cost more than bring in.

 

[TheGreg]

I believe issue 94 wasn't printed not on content but rather sales being so dismal at the time that the distribution of the comic would cost more than bring in.

Yeah, one thing I always check is that legal notice in the letters page where it says how many comics they sell a month. You can see the Ghost Rider numbers plummet from around 300,000 to around 20,000 in about two years.

 

[FlameHead]

There's a website as well that lists comic sales, if you're interested:

Welcome to the hype Greg, by the way.

 

[co2]

I'm thinking about getting the two trades ROAD TO DAMNATION, and VICIOUS CYCLE. Are those worth it as far as the quality goes?
Bear in mind that I am not a GR reader so approach it from that perspective.
