Here’s Ghost Rider in “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”!!
One of my favorite comic characters I would read growing up was Ghost Rider – you know, Johnny Blaze, the stunt motorcyclist, who would transform into the badass biker rocking a flaming skull?
He got so popular that he got his own comic series (the debut had a glow-in-the-dark cover!) that eventually spun off into not one, but two terrible, awful, no-good movies starring Nicolas Cage.
Now, Marvel is bringing the character pack, only this time to the small screen. He’s set to premiere on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” September 20th!
In 2013, Robbie Reyes became Ghost Rider as part of the Marvel NOW! initiative. This is the same character, played by Gabriel Luna, that will appear on “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
In March 2014, a new Ghost Rider series debuted featuring a new Mexican-American character named Roberto “Robbie” Reyes, taking on the mantle. He drives a black classic muscle car reminiscent of a Dodge Charger instead of a motorcycle and lives in East Los Angeles. The character was debuted in 2013. Robbie Reyes was created by writer/artist Felipe Smith and designed by Felipe Smith and artist Tradd Moore. (Wiki)
Here’s Luna as Reyes with his Charger. What do you guys think?!

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
