Ghost Rider Battles A Hulk in New Marvel Preview

May 13, 2023, 11:25pm

This week will see Marvel Comics return to a fan-favorite era with a classic version of a particular character. That’s right Danny Ketch: Ghost Rider #1 will be published in just a few days, with writer Howard Mackie returning to his character after many years. Ahead of its release this week, Marvel Comics has released a preview of the opening pages to the new comic, and it sure looks like our titular spirit of vengeance is throwing down with a Hulk. Is this the main man himself or is it just a guy that kind of looks like The Hulk? Find out this week and check out the full preview below.

“To say that it’s been surreal is a gross understatement,” Mackie told ComicBook.com about returning to the character. “I’ve had a long-standing policy of ‘Don’t Look Back.’ When I’m done writing a character I am done. I try not to read stories involving the character after my run is done… I did bend that a few years back and read a bunch of the Robbie Reyes stories by Felipe Smith. I figured it was all SO different it could be fun… and it was! Then– a few years back– I ran into Ed Brisson and Aaron Kuder at NYCC and decided to read their run. I quite liked it as well. I thought their treatment of the characters was a natural progression of where I left them.”
