Ghost Rider (#1)

From Johnny Blaze to Danny Ketch, we have had motorcycle riding demon/spirit who takes out evil at every turn. Now, we introduce Robbie Reyes as the new Ghost Rider. Though initially turned off by the cover and being skeptical of moving from the motorcycle to the car, I must say, this series and character shows some promise. Robbie lives in East L.A. with his disabled brother while working as a mechanic. After he fights some thugs and looses his brother's wheelchair, he takes the car from the garage to race when the cops show up. Just as he looks like he will be arrested he is shot down by some men, the contents of the trunk are cleared out and is left for dead...or so they think. He is transformed into the NEW Ghost Rider and the story basically ends. This makes me want to read on, check it out, find out how he got his powers, who were those guys and what will Robbie do now? The writing is good and the art is a lot better then what we see on the cover. It is always dangerous when someone takes over a classic and beloved moniker but, lets see where this is headed.
