Marvel has established some of the most iconic superheroes and supervillains in comic book history. The success of these comics has led to the creation of the MCU, a movie and television franchise that flourishes by using these respective characters. However, it looks like Marvel is now preparing to say farewell to an iconic character.
Interestingly, it does look like the mantle for this particular character will still continue. But for fans of the character’s original iteration – it looks like this will be a tragic and intense storyline. For those eager to know more, a number of exciting details regarding Marvel’s farewell have been revealed.
A new comic book series is set to launch early next year. This particular series, continuing the work that Benjamin Percy has been involved with, is one that fans will definitely want to keep an eye on.
The new series, beginning with Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #1, is seemingly set to conclude Johnny Blaze’s arc as Ghost Rider. While there have been other iterations of the fan-favorite Marvel character over the years, Blaze is perhaps the most associated with the role. This makes the following description shared by Marvel on their official website all the more enthralling:
“Continuing Benjamin Percy’s acclaimed and thought-provoking work on the Ghost Rider mythos, the new series will see the Spirit of Vengeance fall into the wrong hands and fans won’t believe who it is! Now, Johnny Blaze must embark on an epic quest to become Ghost Rider again before the newly possessed uses its demonic power for a dark purpose.”
Joining writer Benjamin Percy will be artist Danny Kim. Of course, there aren’t details yet regarding who will take over the Ghost Rider role from Johnny Blaze. But it certainly looks like it will be a major gamechanger for Marvel’s comic book universe. We’ll have to see what happens when March 2024 rolls around.
Fans will be able to read Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #1 when it is released on March 13, 2024.
