Ghost Rider Site Up!

your memory, though a bit hazy is definitely in the right neighborhood Morg. They took certain elements from Ghost Rider in the 70's and combined them with the 90's version. Dan Ketch was the latter day version, but Blaze eventually became GR again. They took the look from Ketch, along with the chain and seemingly the shotgun Blaze had in the newer version and just piecemealed them into a singular entity. They also redesigned both bikes that each Rider had and combined them into one. They kept the idea that he turns into flame head at night and in the presence of evil from the early days of the 70's although both Blaze and Ketch could turn into Ghost Rider almost at will. I think Eva Mendes is miscast as Roxanne Simpson, but what the hell do I know? i just followed both titles religiously. Roxy was Blazes love interest, but she was the daughter of Crash Simpson (Roxy was a stuntwoman herself, not a reporter)who Blaze initially made a pact with Mephisto to save his life from cancer. Simpson recovered quickly from the disease, but died in an ensuing daredevil stunt. Blackheart and the others are more modern day editions that had absolutely nothing to do with the original title.

Whew! How was that for a history lesson?
