'Vengeance Unbound' Updates Thread

I'll hopefully be reviewing Tail of Tears # 2 here in the next week. I've been busy with doctors and insurance people over the last week, following a car wreck I had back in February, so my time has been incredible short lately. But next week is hopefully when reviews will start up again. Thanks for asking!

 

I actually have to start physical therapy for my back this coming Tuesday - originally injured in the auto wreck, then made about a billion times worse by an injury last week at work (I work in a behavioral hospital and had to break up a fight between two teenage girls that resulted in me falling backward and hitting a doorknob right in the center of my back).

But on the plus side, I DID get some new reviews up on the site this weekend:

Devil's Reign: Cyblade/Ghost Rider # 1
Marvel Age # 87
Giant-Size Hulk # 1

So enjoy those for now, and I'll probably have some more new ones posted as the week goes on. Thanks for all your support, guys!

 

Well gang, I know it's been a long time since you last heard from me. Health problems combined with computer problems have kept me away from the 'net for quite a bit of time, but now I'm back and better than ever - and so is Vengeance Unbound! I posted reviews of three new books tonight and plan to do a bunch more over the next week to get caught up with all the issues released since I last updated. Let me know what you think of the reviews!

The link above is to the newest feature at Vengeance Unbound, the first steps toward building a timeline of the various Ghost Riders throughout history. The most popular feature of the old site was easily the history section (I still get comments and questions on it today, and it hasn't been on the 'net for a few years now!), so this is my attempt to bring it back with a different twist. Check it out, feel free to comment on it in this thread, and watch for updates to it. I'll try to post 3 Riders at a time, though some entries will be shorter than others (like the Ghost Rider of WWI, who's only appeared in one panel of a comic).

 

I've done some more work on the Ghost Rider Timeline feature, and below is a list on what's been covered so far. Expect more updates to follow (and let me know what you think of this, guys...I think it's looking quite sharp, but I'd like a few other opinions).

Timeline:
20,000 B.C. - The Spirits of Vengeance
2,000 Years Ago - Zarathos
1700s - Ghost Rider I/Noble Kale
1867 - Ghost Rider II/Caleb
1914-1918 - Ghost Rider III/unknown WWI GR
1945 - Blazing Skull
early 1970s - Ghost Rider IV/Naomi Kale
mid 1970s - Ghost Rider V/Max Parrish

 

As far as I'm concerned, until they come and give a definitive answer against, the coincidences in the Blazing Skull's story will always lump him into the "maybe a Ghost Rider" pile.

And yes, I'll be including both Ghost Rider 2099 and the Ghost Rider of the Galactic Guardians in the timeline (though, obviously, they'll probably come last, lol). I also plan on doing small pieces on the Ghost Riders of alternate realities (such as Speed Demon from Amalgam). Glad you guys are enjoying the feature!

Ghost Rider 2099 # 21

Ugh, I'm still six issues behind on reviews for the current series and four behind on Trail of Tears. That's what I get for taking time off, I suppose, lol.
