Todd & Joe Have Issues 10/12/17: Ghost Rider vol. 1 #68
A spooky, scary pick from Todd sees a book I’ve never read. Ghostie has had dozens of relaunches and dozens of chances. Maybe the Marvel character I most associate with the 90’s. If Wolverine wasn’t on your cover as a guest star, then Johnny Blaze (or Danny Ketch) most certainly was.
I have maybe read less than 40 Ghost Rider comics, mainly because they were written by Jason Aaron and they were great. I did try the recent Ghost Driver run, which was the inspiration for Ghostie’s appearance on the most recent season of Agents of SHIELD. Not sure how that ties into the Inhumans, but I’m sure I’ll never know.
My only other exposure to Ghost Rider has been the Nicholas Cage films. Now, I’ve never seen them, I have very high standards. But, Adam Carolla always mentions the mis measuring of Johnny Storm’s “goal post to goal post” stunt. Also, in publicity interviews for the sequel, Cage stated some of the younger extras were looking at him like he really was Ghost Rider.
Any discussion, thoughts, feelings, criticisms of this week’s selection can be placed below in the comments section. As well as suggestions about future choices for one shot issues to add to our list.
