Vengeance Comes to Marvel's Agents of SHIELD with Ghost Rider Debut

The spirit of vengeance is coming to Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, but he may not look like the Ghost Rider you’re used to. Robbie Reyes was just an average kid growing up amongst the gang violence in East Los Angeles trying to take care of his disabled younger brother. Caught in a horrible tragedy Robbie becomes imbues with the spirit of Eli Morrow, bend on getting vengeance against those who killed him. It’s up to Robbie, and his souped-up muscle car, to balance the life he has with his brother with the raging spirit inside him. 

Robbie’s debut, collected in All New Ghost Rider Volume 1 (JUL140735), was a stunning departure from the traditional Ghost Riders of Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch, with the most obvious change being the swap from a motorcycle to a muscle car. The heart of the story however, blends perfectly into what drives Ghost Rider as a character: the pursuit of vengeance. Robbie is forced to choose between creating a better life for his younger brother or chasing the drug dealer that killed Morrow, and finally getting vengeance for his death.

It’s Ghost Rider versus Ghost Rider in All New Ghost Rider Volume 2 (FEB150869), as Johnny Blaze confronts Robbie Reyes, and hellfire sparks fly! Robbie has become a local hero for stopping the villainous drug dealer Mr. Hyde, but Johnny sees this young upstart as out of his depth. The two Ghost Riders go head-to-head in a battle that has Robbie’s soul at stake, and may forever change his younger brother Gabe. Meanwhile the Spirit of Vengeance must stop the evil of Eli Marrow’s spirit from destroying Robbie forever, and using him to destroy those around him.

Nothing can keep the Spirit of Vengeance down, and Robbie is making his triumphant return to Marvel Comics this November with Now Ghost Rider #1 (SEP160959). It’s two hot heads in one book as Robbie and Amadeus Cho, the Totally Awesome Hulk, cause mayhem over a mysterious object from space that crash landed in Robbie’s neighborhood. Robbie’s dealing with monsters within as well, as Eli’s soul fights against him to gain control and drag Robbie into the darkness. It’s a nonstop thrill ride with Robbie Reyes in the driver’s seat, so pre-order your copy now!
