From Johnny Blaze to Danny Ketch to Robbie Reyes, the Spirit of Vengeance has burned through the souls of many characters in the Marvel Universe. This September, everyone who dares to call themselves Ghost Rider will be targeted by a reawakened enemy in the new Spirits of Vengeance series.
Written by Sabir Pirzada (Cult of Carnage: Misery) and illustrated by an all-star lineup of artists starting with Sean Damien Hill (Moon Knight: City of the Dead), Spirits of Vengeance promises to be a major turning point for the Ghost Rider mythos.
The ongoing series kicks off when Vengeance, one of the most notorious entities in the Marvel Universe, returns and embarks on a vicious hunt to take down fellow spirits. As he grows more powerful with each slay, the Ghost Riders you know will journey to unexpected places to seek new power.
Here’s the official solicitation text for the first issue of Spirits of Vengeance:
JOHNNY BLAZE! DANNY KETCH! ROBBIE REYES! THE HOOD! KUSHALA! Many have borne the title Spirit of Vengeance and as its most recent claimant has embarked on its final ride to explosive results, others still stir in the darker corners of the Marvel Universe! And one, in particular, has a stronger connection to two Ghost Riders than the rest, and after years, it’s ready to show its fangs again at last…
“It’s finally time for Michael Badilino to make his long-awaited return as Vengeance, aided by the likes of Johnny Blaze, Danny Ketch, and more,” Pirzada teased. “The bloody new era for the Spirits of Vengeance starts here – with a shocking ending you won’t see coming.”
This week, you may have seen some chatter on social media about Ryan Gosling being cast as the MCU’s Ghost Rider. You’ve probably wondered why we haven’t covered the story here and, simply put, it’s because it isn’t true!
While the Barbie and Fall Guy actor remains a fan-favourite choice to play the Spirit of Vengeance, Marvel Studios has yet to cast the role. However, Anthony Ramos will play The Hood in the upcoming Ironheart TV series coming to Disney+ next year.
