Today is Just Gonna Be All About Ghost Rider, Apparently

I hadn’t planned it this way, but I guess today is all about showing off the upcoming Ghost Rider in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Though this picture doesn’t look as cool as his flaming car.

He's giving us all the Penance Stare right now

Hopefully the skull face looks a little better in action or when it’s not looking straight on directly at us. But hey, he looks like Ghost Rider, and it sounds like they’re gonna stay true to the character. What more could we ask for? Ghost Rider is gonna be in a TV show! And not his own show. A live action Ghost Rider is guest starring on a regular TV show, because that’s what gets to happen nowadays!

It’s Quick, But It’s Also Definitely Ghost Rider

Marvel and ABC have been slowly doling out looks at Ghost Rider in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and here’s the best one yet! It’s a quick little snippet of flaming car, but it’s pretty sweet.

See? It’s on fire! I’m definitely super excited now. Brig on new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/10/16

Anybody else get real lazy on a vacation? And I don’t mean a vacation where you go on an awesome trip and have great adventures. I mean a staycation, where you largely spend the time sitting at home playing video games, reading comics and occasionally venturing out to catch Pokemon. That’s the kind of vacation I just had, and it was pretty neat. But man, did it take a lot of effort to actually write comic book reviews this week. But I got it done!

Some quality comics this week, including Iron Man, Nightwing and Doctor Strange, even. But Comic Book of the Week easily and handily goes to Harley Quinn #3, for bringing joy and romance to all of comics! There is no better relationship these days than Harley and Ivy!

What was she going to say?!

What was she going to say?!

They are a shining beacon in all of comics. If only Nightwing was this much fun. Or Iron Man. And the new Supergirl Rebirth would have greatly benefited from some of that charisma.

Comic Reviews: Doctor Strange #11, Harley Quinn #3, Invincible Iron Man #13, Nightwing #4 and Supergirl #1.

First Sneaky Look at Movie Shocker!

I don’t normally like to set photos from movies still in production, because part of me feels like it ruins the magic. But this one is pretty awesome, because it’s our first look at the costume of the Shocker in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming movie! It’s a very homemade sort of look, but it fits the character’s color scheme at least, which is cool. Word has it that actor Bokeem Woodbine is playing the role.

Love the vibro-shocks!

Word also has it that this is just Shocker’s first costume, and that maybe he gets an upgrade later. Sounds good to me. The Shocker is one of my favorite Spider-Man villains, and I am very excited to see him in the movie. He’s perfect for a minor role, to give Spidey more bad guys to punch without overloading the movie with villains.

Check Out TV’s Ghost Rider!

As we heard some time ago, Ghost Rider is coming to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.! Makes sense. That show could use a shot in the arm, and a real comic superhero could definitely provide! Plus, I don’t think Ghost Rider would fit into the Netflix shows. And it would be a real stretch to find room for him in the movies. Plus, I’m pretty sure society holds up the Nicholas Cage Ghost Rider movies as godlike, amiright? Something like that…

Anyway, here is our first look at Gabriel Luna as the Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider!

Let's just assume the flame skulls will be added later

Looks cool as far as I’m concerned. I approve of Agents‘ choice of the Robbie Reyes version. Johnny Blaze and the rest are cool, but Robbie Reyes can be cool, too. He’s got a lot of good story to work with, even if his comic didn’t exactly pan out. I think a lot can be done with him.

I just hope Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn’t make him an Inhuman. That would be terrible.
