PREVIEW: MOON KNIGHT #17

“GOD AND COUNTRY,” PART 4
In the age of the Superhuman Registration Act, the only good hero is one that plays by the book -- which the card-carrying Moon Knight most assuredly does not. Indeed, with Moon Knight fast becoming the poster child for recklessness and brutality, the question of the day is just how he got a Registration Card in the first place! As Tony Stark's investigation unearths the ugly truth, Marc Spector braces himself for the consequences, unaware that an equally grave threat is preparing to strike. Carson Knowles -- a.k.a. the Black Spectre -- is back and he wants payback.

PREVIEW: MOON KNIGHT #16

“GOD AND COUNTRY,” PART 3
Killing someone who deserves it is easy. The alternative – it takes years of training, mountains of resolve. Moon Knight knows this fact intimately -- and he’s about to face his stiffest test. See, Carson Knowles knows a thing or two about self-restraint himself, but he’s just snapped. The genie is out of the bottle -- and it’s ugly. Enter: Black Spectre.

PREVIEW: GHOST RIDER #14

“REVELATIONS,” Part 1 (of 6)
The final confrontation between Ghost Rider and Lucifer begins here! Ghost Rider, now back in control after Johnny has (once again) proven himself to be…not so good at it, has begun his brutal final march toward Lucifer’s ultimate destruction. But should the fate of the mortal world—and possibly the immortal world—be entrusted to a vengeful spirit bonded to the soul of an ex-carnival performer? Heaven doesn’t think so.

PREVIEW: GHOST RIDER #10

The ongoing Ghost Rider series written by Daniel Way continues to prove that it is a certified hit in both sales and fan reaction. Every issue that has hit the stands has sold out at Diamond thus far and the first TPB collecting issues #1-5, Ghost Rider: Vicious Cycle TPB, has sold out at Diamond as well.
Ghost Rider has risen from the dead for a second time (the first being his resurgence in the early 90s) as the character continues to stay red hot (not counting the whole skull-on-fire thing). In February, the major motion picture Ghost Rider starring Nicholas Cage opened up #1 at the box office, breaking a record for the highest overall gross for a President's Day four-day holiday weekend. Its worldwide gross stands at just under $200 million.
Daniel Way continues to write the Ghost Rider that fans have been clamoring for, combining elements of both the supernatural and macabre mixed with super hero action. Artists Javier Saltares and Mark Texeira have turned in art every bit as good as when they put Ghost Rider back on the map in the early 90s. Plus, horror master Richard Corben provided art on issues #6 and #7, adding even more spine-tingling visuals for the hit series.
Executive Editor Axel Alonso says, “Daniel Way has breathed hellfire back into Ghost Rider. The ongoing is tearing along, sales are great, and we've got some of the craziest, most dedicated fans in the business. Look for the series to get even hotter as Daniel Way digs deeper into the Ghost Rider's roots and unearths some truly cosmos-shattering revelations. There'll be more than Hell to pay.”
Be sure to check out the next issue, Ghost Rider #10, as the Spirit of Vengeance must face a resurrected super-villain casualty of Civil War possessed by the devil himself! And be sure to pick up the next issue of Garth Ennis and Young Guns Reloaded artist Clayton Crain’s Ghost Rider: Trail of Tears #3 as the epic of the Ghost Rider of the American Civil War continues on.
And you will not want to miss the upcoming Ghost Rider #12-13 as Johnny Blaze throws Ghost Rider into the fray of the summer blockbuster event World War Hulk!
And for even more Spirit of Vengeance action, check out Mythos: Ghost Rider, Ghost Rider Team-Up TPB, and Ghost Rider: Road to Damnation TPB. Please note that all comics and TPBs may still be available at retailer comic shops.

PREVIEW: GHOST RIDER #8

"'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Illinois,' part 1 of 5. In a small town northeast of Chicago, people are losing their heads...literally. The sheriff of this sleepy little town firmly believes he¹s found the culprit -- a scruffy drifter found sleeping in the bushes with blood on his clothes and no believable explanation for where he was and what he was doing when the murders occurred. He even gave the sheriff a fake name: 'Johnny Blaze.' But the identity of the true culprit is even more macabre: Lucifer has taken up residence in a new host -- a casualty of Civil War who's bound to raise eyebrows! And what does this all have to do with Civil War?"
