I am a very big fan of 90's Ghost Rider. Danny Ketch is my favorite GR. I did read some of Blaze when they reprinted the original issues in The Original Ghost Rider series in the 90's as well. I will admit the 90's GR was falling in line with the "extreme" of everything, not just comics, in 90's media. But unlike a lot of things in the 90's comics, it seemed to have substance to it too. Many of the stories, especially early ones, were engrossing. Perhaps it was just that for me, I started reading comics at the start/height of the popularity of X-Files (something that was a family favorite that we all watched together) and the supernatural aspect of a man being possessed by a demon yet using the power for good was a win/win. Plus the Salvador Larroca art (which was where I first started reading it) sealed the deal. Doesn't also help my first story was a cross over of X-Men & Gr vs Brood. While I liked some of the earlier art as I went back and bought back issues none were up to his art. And I have consistently liked (and bought) what he has put out since, and before really. Even Death's Head II the epitome of 90's extreme comics.

Ghost Rider (admittedly, I've only read the 90s and up material, but I just cant get into the stories involving him). I tried so very hard to get into Ghost Rider, but the only time I ever liked the character was the Marvel Spotlight issues and maybe a the first handful of issues of the 70's series. After Gary Friedrich left, so did any interest I had in the series Also Darkhawk was better than 90's Ghost Rider, there I said it (oops, wrong thread!) |

I'm very spotty with the 90s books, but own everything from 2001 up....
I'll admit I did like the glow-in-the-dark covers for Ghost Rider #15....(Danny Ketch run).

Definitely agree on Darkhawk, heck, I'll even put Sleepwalker over Ghost Rider. |

I liked that. |

In Kingdom Come, Cap looks like Stone Cold Steve Austin Ummmmmmmmmm....................................I think you are reading a different Kingdom Come than I am, because Captain Marvel looks like Fred MacMurray and that's the only Captain I can think of, off the top of my head, in it. We are talking the DC mini, from Mark Waid and Alex Ross....but, to me, it sounds like you are taking about either Marvels or Ultimate Avengers (or something I am overlooking). He looks like Fred MacMurray, yes, but he also looks a heck of a lot like comics artist and Alex Ross Art Promoter Sal Abananti... who was Alex's model for Cap.  |
