Ghost Rider #1 - Marvel

YAY!!! The Ghost Rider finally has his own series again. The last 2 mini's were awesome, so I guess this was the result of overwhelming response by fans. At least that's what it says on the letters page. But, regardless, he's back!! Daniel Way and Mark Texeira are at the creative helm. And there's an awesome alternate cover by Mark Silvestri. Simply beautiful. In a demon crashing out of hell kind of way!! Anyways, this story focuses on GR still trying to ride his bike out of hell. Lucifer keeps dangling the bait in front of him, GR keeps going for it, and Lucy sits on his perch watching and laughing. GR comes across a "digger demon", who has been working in "the pit", but dug too deep and came across water. He shares this info with GR, who then decides that this little slug is going to help him get out. Of course they're chased and hounded, and when they finally get to the spot where they can hopefully escape, the little slug turns into Lucy who has foiled him again. But somehow this area that they've found is a portal to let the dead walk the earth, because in the final 2 pages we see the dead rising up out of the ocean, being followed by GR. The next issue blub says, "Lucifer set loose on earth?" I assume this is Johnny Blaze, but the letters page wants you to vote for who is your favorite, "Johnny or Danny", so I'm guessing that Marvel's going to leave us guessing until they decide which one they want it to be. Or this'll be Johnny, but then if they get enough positive response to Danny, maybe they'll try to work him into the story. That would be a cool arc! Johnny and Danny duke it out. Mano e Mano! Chains and Hellfire! Let's Get Ready to RRRRRRRRoast!!!!!
