![]() It was wise to work it the way that they did. At times it felt like the actor was merely present on set, but there wasn’t much more for him to do. Gabe Reyes – Unlike his brother, Gabe’s role was only supporting to serve for an origin story. While we’ve seen his story end in SHIELD’s current season, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him come back soon or get the rumored spinoff. Mac gained the GR abilities briefly making us really see how desperate this demon is. And he gets a face to face with the demon itself. ![]() His origin even brought in who we can only assume by his attire and motorcycle is Johnny Blaze’s Ghost Rider. That being said, Robbie’s Ghost Rider is the best thing about this show so far. I was completely unfamiliar with him except I knew he had a cool car. I never thought I’d like the Robbie Reyes version. Robbie Reyes / Ghost Rider – let’s get this out of the way now. The Agents: We are getting more of the same here with slightly adjusted roles, but they are less of a focus this season, and seem more of a supporting cast to those with powers. If you don’t want spoilers, then scroll to the bottom paragraph for my rating. Read my spoiler filled review of the first half of this season. Season 4 Part 1 of Agents of SHIELD focuses on Ghost Rider, and it made me enjoy a take I wasn’t sure about. So, how does Robbie fit in with the Ghost Rider tradition? We learn that in Legend.Francisco Francavilla’s Ghost Rider promo art. So far Smith has kept this Ghost Rider grounded in his area, restricting the demonic possession angle, and that works for Engines of Vengeance. Smith and Moore waste no time turning a bad situation into something so much worse, and when the apocalypse comes, it’s suitably devastating. Long time readers will have suspicions about the Doctor Zabo employing a squad of heavily armed mercenaries, and they’d be right, as is rapidly revealed. Provided you’re not fanatical about any deviation from Ghost Rider’s skeletal design, Moore’s new stark and pointy version has a visual style, and his hulked-out monsters look amazing. His people are stretched and stylised, but he has one hell of a way with power, action, and dynamism. It takes some while to become used to Tradd Moore’s art. ![]() He’s now connected to the car to the point of being able to teleport instantly to it. Smith also modifies Ghost Rider’s powers. ![]() Felipe Smith over-eggs Robbie’s situation, a disabled brother taking things too far into melodrama, but he otherwise establishes a place in desperate need of cleaning up, and a formidable villain also with a dual personality intent on making the neighbourhood even worse. A shocking opening chapter concludes with Robbie being shot dead. How bad is it? Well, throw Peter Parker’s school bully Flash Thompson into Robbie’s high school and he’d not make morning break. Ghost Rider’s powers are this time provided to Robbie Reyes, seemingly the only actual student in his class interested in studying, and working part time time as a car mechanic trying to do the right thing in a feral Los Angeles neighbourhood where local thugs operate in a lawless environment. The redesign trades that for a pimped-up hot rod, so now Ghost Rider himself is largely hidden, driving a car.Īccept that, and this is a spirited reboot. Through decades of hardly sparkling stories the character’s greatest strength was the fantastic visual of the skeletal figure with a flaming skull riding a motorcycle. It’s difficult to work out the thinking behind this updated version of Ghost Rider introduced in 2013. ![]()
