Stunt rider turned demon hunter, Johnny Blaze aka Ghost Rider, finally hits the big screen with Nicolas Cage (with or without an H?) all decked out in his guise and skin and bones. And flames and leather jacket. Always never forget to note the leather jacket.

Hogging around with a skull of flames is no easy task, however. True skill is needed in order to cast those fiery locks away from drivers behind who may only see an amber light ahead. Albeit not for everyone, it does have its benefits.

Keeps the sweat off - Hot as it may be, the evaporation and sweat cycle will be quick enough to not even really notice. Like dropping water onto the lid of the boiling kettle. Old fashioned, not the new fangled plastic containers.

Lighting the path ahead - Busted light? No street lamps? Might be short for the oncoming tar, still can manage to illuminate even a bit of the road and that's a little safer than riding with a helmet put on backwards.

No head, no helmet - Cavalier and careless quite enjoy riding the open roads with the wind flickering through their hair. Helmets saves most lives, and for the most part, protect the head. But when it's a skull of flames, Shirley can't be arrested for not wearing a helmet when there isn't a head to wear it on.

 

Nicolas Cage and a hotted out motorbike from hell are set to blaze the silver screens in Ghost Rider. Until the movie with a toupee, fire and flames and Eva Mendes hits, Blaze returns again to the comics. (But what happened to Danny Ketch? Ketch?)

Once upon a time, Johnny Blaze made a deal with the Devil... and to no one's surprise but his own, he got shafted. Now trapped in hell, with the Spirit of Vengeance bonded to his immortal soul and weighing him down, Johnny may have finally found a way out.

But at what cost?

From the depths of Hell to the glittering spires of Heaven, the Ghost Rider rides again in his first ongoing series in nearly a decade, blazing new trails and dispensing fiery vengeance in his wake.

The demonic team of Daniel Way, Mark Texeira and Javier Saltares reunite to put ol' Flamehead back in the saddle where he belongs. Ready or not, here he comes!

Ghost Rider.

Where is every super soldier on the battlefront against "terrorism" a weapon of mass destruction? Over the trenches in Image Comic's Task Force 1. Jeffery Stevenson and Carlos Rodriguez handle the side fire.

Horror takes a ride in the kiddy car seat as Steve Niles and Ben Roman deliver The Cryptics. It's where the little monsters grow up.

Like Yin and Yang are in the genes of Grace Stokes in Top Cow's The Innocents from David Wohl and Bing Casino.

After Shock, Michael Dolce and Daniel Leister ask the question, "What if you were forced to be Superman?" in The Sire. Apparently the kind of forced which includes the stabbing and the hurting in the heart pain.

It's the Revolutionary War and Paul Revere is riding his high horse. This time, from Alias Enterprises, Revere be a werewolf hunting machine with Ed Lavallee and Grant Bond on board.

Garth Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra shoot out from the Wildstorm of DC Comics with A Man Called Kev.

Andy Hartnell and Nick Bradshaw join forces again and set things Rokkin. A fantasy with blood, guts and lots of gooey mess from Wildstorm.

Also from DC are The Next. A group of super powered people who cross over from another dimension and bring with them some chaos for good measure. By the loins of Tad Williams, Dietrich Smith and Walden Wong.

Oni Press sinks the world and one hundred years later, we're left with Wasteland. Desolate, apocalyptic, Kevin Costner? New series from Antony Johnston and Christopher Mitten.

End of days for May "Mayday" Parker as Spider-Girl closes out with the final issue and a nice record of 100 issues from Marvel and Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz. Not bad for a series ever on the verge of cancellation.

 

The weather is a moderate to toasty warm for those living in hell. Humidity is never a problem and any surface is a cooking surface. Doing the laundry is no problem when the weather always free from rain.

The eagerly anticipated series begins here with stunning art and a story that only Garth Ennis could tell. He's paying the price for his deal with the Devil--is the Ghost Rider condemned to ride the highways of Hell for all eternity?

His saving grace could be in the form of an unlikely ally--an industrious angel with a deal that would free Ghost Rider once and for all! Miss this series at the risk of your very soul!

"At the risk of your very soul"?

Souls cost no more than five dollars. When eternal hell and damnation are on offer, there is nothing like the quick buck made from selling a non-existent.

All those who enter the hallowed halls of hell with nary a soul between them shall only eat at the buffet when all others have taken their picks.

 

For biker enthusiast and alleged occultist, Johnny Blaze, a trip to the new carwash turned out to be more than just an ordinary buff and stuff.

Dialling in for a hot wax and high sheen buff at the Morspon complex, Blaze was all set for his vehicle's run through the recently erected carwash. Trolling up behind a black van with tinted windows and no plates, mere minutes would pass before the bubble of soap suds and whipping chamois would give way to blood curdling screams and a man set on fire.

Witnesses and pool hall junkies at the scene claim Blaze had entered with a helmet before rolling out the other side with his head stripped clean of its flesh and licks of fire dancing about his skull. Testing negative, the witnesses also mention an unidentified vehicle speeding away moments prior to the accident.

Police suspect Blaze may have been an unfortunate casualty following a case of mistaken identity. Danny Ketch, a biker with a similar style -- and who has been known to cause grief to the local gangs and underworld figures -- may have been the intended target. A spokesperson for the Morspon Group refused to comment, but instead offered all at the scene a voucher for a month's membership to the roped off carwash scene under investigation.
