Ghost Rider II

Ghost Rider #4 written by Gary Friedrich, pencilled by Jim Mooney and inked by Vince Colletta

Ghost Rider #5 written by Marv Wolfman and Doug Moench, pencilled by Jim Mooney and inked by Sal Trapani

So I read issues 4 and 5 of Ghost Rider and I gotta say that this book is absolutely terrible. I’m sorry. I was really looking forward to this because Ghost Rider is one of my favorites (I’ve read a lot of 90’s and 00’s GR comics) but I guess I dodged a bullet when I skipped the 70’s-80’s stuff when I got back into reading comics over 12 years ago.

Ghost Rider #4-5

Why does Ghost Rider have to outrun the cops in almost every issue? Has he done anything villainous or is it just cause he’s got a flaming skull for a head and rides a flaming bike? Cause most people seem to think that he’s wears a cool helmet or mask cause they are stupid. Also, I know I say this every issue but this dude literally fights a satanist or demon in every storyline. I guess that’s a part of the gimmick but still, it grates on my nerves. Linda Littletree comes back but at least the artist had the decency to not give her pink/red fucking skin like in prior issues to these ones. The villain of this arc’s name is Roulette and the location you might ask? Las Vegas. Yeah, that’s the writing we’re dealing with here.

I will say the villain had a good enough backstory where he was murdered by casino owners and got turned into Roulette by Satan. You definitely could’ve dived deeper into this backstory and got more nuanced but it’s surface level here. Also, Rocky gets kidnapped again! Why? This book makes me appreciate Tomb of Dracula and Doctor Strange more because at least Rachel Van Helsing and Clea don’t get kidnapped every other issue in those books. Rocky also proves to be an idiot because she outright tells Roulette that she’s working with the Attorney General and that he’s investigating him without Roulette even asking! Roulette tells Ghost Rider that he killed 1 of 6 targets and he’s going to keep killing until they are all dead before Ghost Rider even figures it out. Alright, all I’m doing is complaining so I’m gonna cut this short. I didn’t like this storyline if you can tell. Ghost Rider continues to be my least favorite book on my reading order. I’m just hoping it improves. It can’t get worse right? Next up is Doctor/Brother Voodoo origin in Strange Tales!

“A member of a tribe of Apache Indians in Arizona, Linda Littletrees was accepted to an exclusive women's collage and moved East to go to school.

While there she was introduced to Satanism by her roomate Jennifer, who convinced her that it was all harmless fun. She was tricked into attending a Sabbat and had her soul sacrificed to Satan before she could escape, as a result she became the Witch Woman. “

Linda’s a character I’d love to see make a return, considering she played such a big part in Johnny’s life in the early issues of the book.

I’m...starting to understand why Johnny doesn’t like Daimon Hellstrom.

I was wondering when that 70s era casual misogyny was gonna kick in

He just...he literally just runs away while she’s distracted by her own monologue. AMAZING.

Witch Woman by Michael Lopez

Linda Littletree was born on a poverty-afflicted Apache reserve in Arizona. Highly intelligent, with a thing for motorcycles, she received a scholarship to a well-respected "women's college" after high school. Though Linda was tough and a loner by choice, she ended up befriending her roommate and falling in with a group of Satanists (Oh, 70's). Her "friends" sacrificed her to Satan (either Mephisto or Marduk Kurios; it's confusing) to be reborn as the misnomery and spell-casting "Witch Woman." So, technically a villain, but she's very cool in her debut in Marvel Spotlight #10.
