All New Ghost Rider #2

[goggle_kid]

This comic has what is quite possibly the most metal thing you'll see all week.





That's right the new Ghost Rider just headbutted a bunch of bullets and punched a dude through a car? Did Johnny Blaze ever do anything that metal? Did Danny Ketch? I wanna know.

Also check out this sweet final page.

The new skull look is ugly IMO.

So who is this mysterious car... KITT's evil twin? No that was KARR

The Winchester's 67 Chevy Impala having a "The Doctor's Wife" moment?

Turbo Teen goes grimdark?

This looks really cool. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not but I like the Kamen Rider-esque look of the skull helmet.

Kamen Rider Core?

Well, funny you should say that. In the movie, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance he kind of does... (And I DO apologize for linking a scene from that movie)

Oh... Ohh... I do not even have an exclamation that can cover that. Edited to add: "Oh my chains and garters?"

If I had been shown that without a reference I would have thought it a parody of Ghost Rider. So that is going on the list along with the American Godzilla and Speed as a movie so ridiculous that to parody it would be superfluous.

Love the new look. Looks like something out of "Bleach".

The headbutting bullets reminded me of this bit of absurdity

I admit I actually saw that in the theater and marked out when that scene came up.

Grumpy ain't gonna like this... I wonder what's up with the different colorist though? That last page (moreso than the first) seems a lot... "glossier" than the art in #1.

Yeah I like the new design. The metal-skull helmet is a nice update, the original flaming skull was dated two decades ago (then again the general character is a bit dated).

Plus it makes a nice icon.

And as much as I would've loved Felipe Smith to do the art himself, Tradd Moore's stuff is pretty great.

One thing I do like about All New Ghost Rider is that it seems to be a story taking place in Earth-616 yet told in a way where no Earth-616 knowledge is required and able to stand on its own JUST fine.

[cainofdreaming]

You know what would actually make this metal? If he was riding a shark.

Sigh. Two missed opportunities. Two.

[pteppic]

Not sure about the look. Less organic and hell-like and more techno-futurist.

[goggle_kid]

Oh and this book now has a theme-song...

Do Dean and Sam know someone stole the Metallicar?
