Will Robbie Reyes fade away or will his popularity spike up again? I wish there was more of him. Also Ghost Rider Thread
>>83254488
Hopefully he'll stay a cult favorite and will make an appearance in a team book or someone will take another crack at him down the road.
Worst case scenario he gets the Pat Mulligan treatment and gets murdered off-panel.
His book was pretty great initially, then it got worse with Tradd Moore leaving and looming cancelation. Not shit-tier bad, but certainly worse.
>>83254763
That's fair. I mean he's actually a cool character, certainly one of the better recent additions. Marvel probably didn't see the projected response sadly. Maybe more Kamala team ups can save him
>>83254488
Hopefully he'll be the choice they'll fall back on when they inevitably want to "diversify" Ghost Rider in MCU instead of that bitch Alejandra.
>>83254488
Hopefully the next Ghost Rider book has a motorcycle.
>>83254488
I heard his origin is different from classic Ghost Rider. What's his deal?
>>83255774
Actually that'd be pretty cool. Hopefully Marvel feels comfortable doing him after Dr Strange. Though preferably as a movie instead of a Netflix show
>>83255972
He's not possessed by the Spirit of Vengeance but instead the spirit of his dead Satanist uncle who Johnny Blaze is after
>>83255972
It's not a spirit of vengeance, it's a devil-worshipping murder ghost.
Their dynamic is amusing. Robbie's a good boy.
>>83256043
>spirit of his dead Satanist uncle
But he's still good?
>>83256067
Hes lost control before, but now Robbie is permanently linked with him and had to make a deal: His uncle finds the most vile souls on the planet, and Robbie has to sedate his bloodlust by murdering them
>>83255797
>Not liking the car
Im surprised Mad Max fags arent rushing to him
>>83254488
He'll be the the Ghost Rider the MCU uses.
I'll bet he was only even created so that they could experiment with the Ghost Rider helmet concept, for Netflix cost-effectiveness.
>>83255774
>Hopefully he'll be the choice they'll fall back on when they inevitably want to "diversify" Ghost Rider in MCU instead of that bitch Alejandra.
I feel like Alejandra never really got a fair shot. I'd like to see her as the POV character or something in a Ghost Riders team book, so that someone can have a decent go at making into a character people might like.
>>83256443
Its not a bad look honestly. The Ghost Riders have always been sort of simplistic so I like what they did with Robbie. But I dont know if Netflix could do a series justice given the budget
I don't understand why purple like him. He's not bad... but he's not interesting either. He just kind of exists, but that's a problem in and of itself because the origin of his powers throws is very special snowflake-ish. He looks like and has most of the powers of a SoV, but it's actually his satanic uncle? After all the trouble the last GROUP run went through of ironing out the details and origins of the various Ghost Riders Robbie is very frustrating to me.
>>83256596
*people
*GR
Damn autocorrect.
>>83256596
How are his powers "special snowflake" exactly? Im just happy hes not magically better than Johnny or pushed as some sort of superior version. Perhaps it would have better to delve into what his uncle was playing with and how his soul is so potent
>>83254488
I want to see a comic where it's Robbie and Johnny, and Johnny is kind of mentoring this kid and there to beat him down if he ever goes out of control.
>>83256596
People just needed a genuine good guy after far too many dark, tormented souls and assholes in Marvel.
Also simple social interaction between normal people is astonishingly rare in this universe in permanent crisis.
Robbie simply happened to have that.
Nothing complicated to this.
>>83257215
>Super nice guy
>Looks after his disabled brother
>Has the worst bad side imaginable
Im surprised Robbie doesnt have a devoted fangirl following
Personally, I want Dan Ketch/Noble Kale to make a comeback. Considering how big he was in the 90s, I'm shocked that he doesn't get brought up as much as Johnny Blaze.
For the MCU, I would prefer either Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch. I like the more biker, heavy metal style that they brought. With that being said, it would be cool if Robbie Reyes does show up. Perhaps Blaze/Ketch ends up running into him and they have to team up to take down a bigger threat.
>>83257311
He did on tumblr until the run ended. People shipped him with Kamala even.
>>83255797
I was not about the car at first but man did I come to love it quick
Me. I want a series of Netflix supernatural mcu shows. Starting off with blade. Then ghost rider (Robbie Reyes). Then an Elsa bloodstone series with a major guest character of the mysterious Johnny blaze a former ghost rider with a hellfirre shotgun.
Then the team up is 'rise of the midnight sons' with them joining forces to take on lillith and her children and blackout.
>>83255797
I'd prefer a GR that can possess any vehicle he wants.
>>83257581
I like mentor Johnny, but can netflix really pull off Ghost Rider? I feel like they'd find every excuse for Robbie not to transform
>>83256463
That Ghost Racers book was pretty much the only one that I liked out of that event.
Ok writing, but absolutely off the chain on the designs.
>>83254488
I've been meaning write a letter to Marvel about Robbie, but I couldn't be bothered to find an address/e-mail

Oh no, not a superhero who gains powers through unique and fantastical circumstances. That's so special snowflake tumblr cloud storage latte macchiato buzzword.
>>83257381
But... Isn't Kamala like, 10 years younger? nice...
>>83256395
I knew there was a reason I saved this pic
>>83261850
Isnt Robbie a high school senior? I forget what Kamala is
>>83261615
I'm gonna assume it's the first link under Heroes. Thanks anon
>>83261850
He's still in highschool
>>83261686
Compared to the other Ghost Riders who are possessed by Spirits of Vengeance, yeah.
>>83262061
So why aren't you mad about Alejandra then.
>>83261932
Heres a colored version
>>83262061
How is he a special snowflake again?
His initial run was great and had a definitive ending.
Ghost Racers was a nice encore performance.
Do we really want anything more than that? It just be terrible and probably used to make some kind of hamfisted thing about social justice or something.
>>83262061
How?
>>83262159
Holy fucking shit, I remember requesting that coloring job the thread after the line work was done, and was shot down damn quick. Super happy to see it colored. That's bad fucking ass man.
>>83262232
There is something that I want actually...
>>83262278
I like it
>>83262130
Because Alejandra was obviously awful.
>>83262232
maybe a crossover with past Ghost Riders. Can be cool.
>>83262232
While you may be right, I'd just hate to see the character be neglected I guess. Dr Strange team up?
>>83262232
Knowing Marvel now they probably would use him for political reasons. I would enjoy seeing Robbie on his cross country mission and hopefully reunited with Gabe
>>83262278
I'd read the shit out of this
>>83262425
Sometimes dead is better.
>>83262527
Sometimes
>>83255797
I honestly adore the concept of every different ghost rider getting their own vehicle.Trucker ghost rider when?
>>83262564
THAT'S WHY GHOST RACERS WAS THE MOST BALLER SHIT EVER.
...
Didn't we have a girl rider?
The fuck happen to her?
>>83262613
She was in Ghost Racers too.
>>83262613
Anyone have the rule 63 of Robbie? The one with several different versions of her GR design?
>>83262638
>T-Rex rider
ongoing when?
>>83262709
The T-Rex is the most tame bit about that Racer.
>Robot arms
>rocket knuckles
>surfing a fucking jet
God I loved Ghost Racers
Idea of MCU Ghost Rider movie
>Robbie Reyes is the main character
>Johnny was the Rider before him, powers are fading, mentors Robbie
>Mephisto has been collecting Riders for centuries, will bring about the end of days once he has enough
>Robbie fights Riders from across the ages in a Mad Max style confrontation
>Ghost Rider and Kamen Rider debut around the same time (1971-1972)
>Involve Motorcycle-Riding heroes using Evil powers for Good
>2014 versions both use a car instead of a motorcycle
What are the odds?
>>83263097
>evil powers for good
I know that's generally the thing that Kamen Rider deals with, but that's not really the case with Drive. The technology itself is pretty neutral, it's more a case of Banno being a giant cock and using it to take over the world.
Drive has more in common with Megaman than it does Ghost Rider
>>83263157
Well, yeah, but I was reaching for a comparison because, you know, cars.
I never read Ghost Racers, does it hold up and does it end good?
>>83263348
>Does it end good
Very
>>83263348
It's pretty fun.
>>83263348
The ending is very satisfying, yes
>>83263412Gabe riding shotgunwarms my cold dead heart every time.
>>83262232
but didnt he have to kill bad guys to feed his uncle spirit? i dont tink that is a definitive ending
>>83254488

Good one m8
>>83263554
>Kill bad guys
>Don't get possesed by a lunatic
seems alright
>>83255680
>Maybe more Kamala team ups can save him
He's literally in LA.
I mean he IS a Ghost Rider, but that's a 40 hour drive.
>>83263607
You could possibly have a brief Punisher team up where Robbie and has a moral conflict about what he has to do.
>>83262278
Blade's never coming out is it? Not that I care beyond the fact it's never coming out which is just really funny.
>>83262795
>Nic Cage still plays Blaze
>still reading Bleach
>>83256159
>His uncle finds the most vile souls on the planet, and Robbie has to sedate his bloodlust by murdering them
Dexter, then
>>83264562
It was either that, or his brother becoming a possessed handicapped monster
>>83264657
He was a flaming werewolf with crutches for arms.
That was pretty sweet.
>>83254488
Ask Chris Powell.
>>83263348
Jeez I must really be in the minority here because I didn't like it.
>>83264856
Hey, fuck you too man, Darkhawk was one of the few redeemable things about 90's Marvel at the time.
>>83262795
And Danny would be one of the henchman. Johnny's first trainee who fell.
>>83263730
Bonus running gag. Punisher keeps killing the guys before Robbie can get to them to feed the demon.
It's a shame that most of what popularity he enjoys now is from him being shipped with Kamala. Not everybody has to be shipped, you know.
>>83268306
I usually hate shipping but Robbie and Kamala is just too cute
>>83262606
Five issues of disappointment when this didn't make an appearance.
>>83268306
What issue was this again? It looks cute
>>83268547
Is this from the circle storyline?
>>83268672
Secret Wars: Secret Love
>>83268672
Secret Wars Secret LoveIt doesn't end in a way that made anyone happy
>>83268723
Yeah, Circle of Four. Really underrated crossover.
>>83268873
I'll say. I'm a huge GR fan and haven't read it (or, at least, don't remember reading it).
Should I read the individual titles that cross over before reading the cross-over itself?
>>83268924
Red Hulk was great post-Loeb and Agent Venom is arguably the best take on the symbionte, so i'd say yes.
>>83257160
So you basically want danny ketch 2.0
I have know clue why /co/ loves such a mediocre character
>>83270312
Because skeletons that are on fire who ride/drive things are cool.
Try harder.

>>83254488
I really liked the character, design, and the hellcharger. But when Tradd Moore left I kinda just glanced through the books and it really bothered me that his powers weren't actually a spirit of vengeance, just a lingering spirit that looks and acts just like one. Annoyed me after reading the Way and Aaron stuff.
>>83262232
I'd love to see him in an arc of ANADA. >>83263730 had a vague origin idea, where the team needs to protect The Punisher as he's transported across town, only for Robbie to come after him. Kamala ends up being the only one who thinks he can be reasoned with, after she notices that Robbie goes out of his way to protect civilians, and displays mercy.
Thought that the climax of the penultimate issue would be Robbie attempting to suck Frank into the ground to hell, only for Kamala to hold onto him and get pulled in herself, ending in Robbie saving them both which gives Eli full control of his body for the final issue/finale.
Not sure how I'd end it
That, or I'd enjoy Felipe Smith drawing an issue of Ms. Marvel.
He draws a cute Kamala.
>>83262322
You mean other than Ghost Racers?
>>83272546
Sounds pretty good.
I'd like to Kamala's faith in humanity validated like that.
And my ship.
>>83275048
>And my ship.
It's sunk. They're hooking her up with Miles.
>>83275060
I doubt it.
If anything, Nova's gonna pull a from-behind victory.
>>83262232
>>83263554
>>83263607
>>83263730
His relationship with his brother and that teacher guy is in the shitter because of what Eli did and now he's got to start feeding Eli souls.
That's not a definitive ending that's a cliffhanger.
>>83263097
H Y P E R C R I S I S
>>83264622
What's marvel have against this? It's got the potential to be a hell whole lot interesting than hooking her up with Miles. You can actually get chemistry and drama out of her and Robbie.
Instead we got trolled in Secret Wars.
>>83268547
Would have been great
>>83265234
>.
Oh I totally agree but that doesn't mean Robbie won't fade away until someone years in the future remembers him. I still want to know what the hell happened with the whole Darkhawk Crystal can duplicate at the end of that Excelsior mini.
>>83276719
wasn't it ANGR's writer that thought up how it would work?
He liked the idea of them being super best friends, and marvel wanted him to frame it as a love story thing.
Frankly I'm fine with either. I really wanna see them in the same comic so we can get Kamala playing with Gabe, and that would be a million percent adorable.
We will never have another marvel/DC cross over. Robie and Jaime will never be interdemsional cousins.
>>83277628
S U F F E R I N G
>>83277628
I'll pay for a fan comic about this
>>83277449
I think the ship stemmed from the series starting up near the same time, while sharing parallel themes between them.
>>83278992
Also Kamala is adorable, and really seems like the kind of person that would enjoy a joy ride.
>>83268547
I'm usually not fond of "edgy" designs but that thing is fucking metal, I love it.
>>83279025

The RobbiexKamala shipping was mostly a /co/ thing.
>>83263759
Coming out post-CWII with a new artist since the last artist apperently completely fell through and was responsible for the book getting stuck on hiatus near indefinitely.
>>83280213
they're both just super cute, man.
>>83280146
I hope he never shows back up, Ketch is the Superior Ghost Rider anyways. Reyes was a joke.
>>83280241
And what'll be the reason when that comes and goes and nothing materializes?
>>83280146
Really? Here's hoping then
>>83277814
Same here. Bring in Traci Thirteen for extra magic shenanigans too.
>>83280549
Felipe Smith has said he has a marvel project in the works a while back as well.
If Vision leaves ANADA in the aftermath of King's ongoing, maybe Robbie will get the spot...
