Fan-Favorite Ghost Rider Return Reveal by Marvel

As Ben Percy and Cory Smith continue to tell the tale of Johnny Blaze in Marvel's ongoing Ghost Rider series, another title is launching featuring a different iteration of the character. Come March, the Spirit of Vengeance will once again stalk the stars all thanks to a new Cosmic Ghost Rider series from Stephanie Phillips and Juann Cabal.

Now that Marvel's list of solicitations has been release for the month of March, the House of Ideas has confirmed the character's return. Frank Castle from a different timeline, the now-retired Cosmic Ghost Rider will soon face a version of himself on a rampage across the cosmos.

"I love the humor and absurdity of Cosmic Ghost Rider, and because he's a newer character I feel like there's lots of potential space (pun intended) to push him in new directions," Phillips previously told Polygon of the new series. "I'm excited to play with Marvel's cosmic characters and write something that feels really new for me and for Frank Castle as well."

Created by Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw, Cosmic Ghost Rider debuted in 2018's Thanos maxi-series. After becoming an instant fan-favorite, the character appeared in his own mini-series while cameoing in Cates' Guardians of the Galaxy series as well.

Marvel's full solicitation for the issue can be found below.
