Marvel is being coy about exactlywhoBlaze’s replacement will be, but the new series Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance, which launches in March, will involve Johnny embarking on “an epic quest to become Ghost Rider again before the newly possessed uses its demonic power for a dark purpose.”
Final Vengeance is written by ongoing Ghost Rider scribeBenjamin Percyand new-to-Marvel artist Danny Kim. The main cover for #1 is by Juan Ferreyra, but you can take a peek at Greg Capullo’s variant below, which will also be available as a virgin variant cover (ie. without the logo and other trade gubbins) so you can fully revel in all its flaming hot goodness.
Let the speculation commence! In the meantime, Marvel’s official synopsis for the new issue reads:
“WHO IS THE NEW SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE? Johnny Blaze was bonded with the Spirit of Vengeance. Unwilling to be a monster, Johnny used this demon from Hell to do good as the Ghost Rider. But heroism isn’t what the Rider was meant for. So who will be the new Spirit of Vengeance? And what will it mean for the Marvel Universe?”
