I don't think any Ghost Rider fans here every in their lives would believe they would get a chance to talk to the people that helped shape the character they grew up reading and even admiring!
Javiar Saltaires (Jarv) comes in here to give us updates and even tipped us on a Ghost Rider comic that is out now. His first drawing of Ghost Rider helped to inspire a comic to be a hit, and now the character he drew is on the big screen the way he drew it!
Howard Mackie takes time off from his own schedule to communicate with fans of his works online to answer unanswered questions that were lingering on our minds for almost a decade. What other established comic writer would ever think of doing something like that almost daily??? Growing up as a teenager, Howard Mackie inspired me to read more, to write more, and I would never think twice of relenquishing any of his works to anybody. I personally can't even fathom how much it means to a fan to talk to the writers of a comic you grew up reading. How do you explain that in words?
Ivan Velez Junior also has stopped by a few message boards to talk to us, to vent, or even just to stop by and say Hi. I remember in the 90s one day on AOL I happenned to meet up and talk to him on Instant Message. What are the chances? He probably doesn't even remember but that made my day. Who knows he may be creeping on these boards as we speak.
And last but not least, MSJ. What more can we say, he is a fan's dream. He's a fan of Jarv's work, the older GR writers and artists, he's a fan of Mackie's characters, he's a Fan of Ghost Rider at heart, and he, like us believe that Ghost Rider should be brought to the big screen. He has been updating the fans of the character, he has took time to talk to us here, he goes out of his way to give us sneek peeks. He fought through the red tape and almost a decade of waiting, soon we'll all be watching it with him.
Some people are skeptics at heart (like myself) but in no way would it bring me to feel any ill will towards MSJ ,or the Arads or anybody at Marvel who had faith in the character. I can only wish success for them in their careers and their dreams.
So sincerely,
Thank you.
