Hmmm...

...looks like a mace. Yeah, a bit odd to see him using another kind of weapon instead of the usual chains.

He should just stick to the chains, they're cooler

When Ghost Rider roars into comic shops next month, he’ll be rriding a flaming motorcycle from hell in a return fueled by a script from Garth Ennis and brought to life in ways never seen before by powerhouse illustrator Clayton Crain, who is determined to make this the hottest Ghost Rider ever.

Ghost Rider, a six-issue limited series, begins with Johnny Blaze paying a painful price for his deal with the Devil,: he’s destined to ride the highways of Hell for all eternity. But an angel has an offer too good to refuse… an offer that may set Ghost Rider free. And the only thing he has to do is track down a rogue demon, Kazaan… but the job isn’t as easy as it sounds.

The story is the sort of metaphysical motorcycle mayhem that Ghost Rider fans have come to expect—but it’s the art that’s going to wow fans. Crain is producing fully digital art for the book—not just for its eye-catching covers, but for every single panel of every single page of the six-issue series. And according to those who’ve seen early issues of the book, the result is a Ghost Rider unlike any you’ve ever seen before.

“This is classic horror adventure; Garth built a story that makes use of every page of the six-issue series—no decompressed storytelling here! Garth has a pretty good vision of what he wants, and he specifies everything in his script. When I break down his story, it works because he has obviously thought about it visually.

“Garth and I work well together; I see the story as he sees it. I might enhance some things, but there’s nothing I’m doing that gets away from Garth’s vision. It’s important that an artist work with the writer; after all, he’s getting paid to tell a story, and my job is to work with him to bring his vision to life artistically. It’s been much more of a challenge, actually to figure out what the writer wants and to give it to him than it is to go off and do your own thing.”

Ghost Rider isn’t Crain’s first Marvel project—but many think it’s the one that’s going to put him on a lot of fan-fave lists. “I’d been working for Marvel, for a while; I had just finished Venom vs. Carnage, and I guess Ghost Rider had been coming up just about the time I was finishing,” Crain told CSN. “I was always interested in Ghost Rider, because it’s the sort of book that I enjoy personally: there’s a little more supernatural in here than in the average Marvel book, with demons, skeletons—all the stuff that’s fun to draw. The was a little darker than most Marvel stories, too; I think Ghost Rider is about as dark as titles get at Marvel, in fact, and I credit Garth Ennis with making that work.”

Crain had first begun to experiment with digital art before he ever came to Marvel. “I hadn’t worked for about six months before I got to work with Marvel. I started looking for work again because I wanted to draw, but I couldn’t get any penciling work. So for about two months I started fully painting on the computer, having fun with that; three months later, I sent some of those files to Marvel and Axel Alonso loved the stuff, so he gave me cover work.

“Since I didn’t have a job, I was doing all the digital work on an old PC that was crashing on me all the time. Once I started getting regular work, though, I splurged and bought a Mac—a dual 1.4 gHz with two gigs of RAM—and it’s been great. The Mac has been awesome; it’s rock solid and stable—it doesn’t crash like the PC did. Now that I’ve worked on the Mac for a while, I’d never go back!”

Crain’s digital skills play an important part in creating the overall look of the limited series. “When I began working on Ghost Rider, I built the bike in 3-D in much the same way, rendering it out; then I could import the bike and draw on top of that. That’s what saved me. I could take my sketch, bring it into Lightwave, then maneuver the bike, add the lighting and at the right spots. In PhotoShop, I’d paint the reflective areas, set it all up, and render it out, and the end result was a bike that I could work with. This was a sort of high-tech approach to an art form that has, for the most part, remained pretty low-tech for decades.”

While Crain is very pleased with the results he gets by utilizing Lightwave and Photoshop, he points out that this isn’t a time-saving method of producing comic art. “Doing the full illustration digitally can be as time-consuming as penciling and inking, although Lightwave saves me some time. The bike is there in 3-D, but I still have to do prep work to get it set up properly and then to make it work with the rest of the comics page. I start with a working file, with a layer called thumbnail done at the same size as the finished digital file would be.

“I sketch it into the computer using a Wacom tablet [a flat, pressure-sensitive tablet that allows you to draw using a digital pen rather than a mouse] and then I put it in the right format for Marvel and they approve it. I’d never be able to do all of this without that Wacom tablet; if I had to work with a standard mouse, or draw it on paper and scan it in, it would take forever.

“Once I get approval, I open that same file and start drawing and painting, using multiple layers and flattening them as I go. It ends up with a huge file that has everything there; there are no separate colors, because the digital file blends the linework, the colors, the lighting effects, and everything in one master file.”

It’s an all too common complaint that some modern comics creators lack a work ethic—but no one can accuse Crain of being a slacker. “I work pretty much all day,” he explained. “I start around 8:30 or so, taking breaks during the day, and I usually finish work around two in the morning. My imagination tells me that I can do six pages a week; so I try for that—but at the end of the week I’m pushing three! I’ve been able to do four pages a week sometimes, but it’s been harder than I thought it would be. I get so involved in every panel!

“I’m trying to work in full detail in every panel—backgrounds, foregrounds, main figures, everything,” Crain said. “In fact, I have to back off a little bit because I’ve been working in so much in the backgrounds. I enjoy doing it, but the pages take fifteen hours to produce because of all the details I’m putting in!”

Of course, there’s a learning curve involved with digital art. “When I look at the very first stuff that I did with Venom vs. Carnage and compare it to this work I’m doing now… it’s amazing how much better I am already! And I continue to see improvement in my work: Ghost Rider #2 is a huge leap forward from Ghost Rider #1, and issue #3 is a step forward from #2. I’m learning short cuts and getting more efficient, but I’m not producing pages that much faster than before because I’m also trying to take my work forward. I’m more attuned to color and contrast now, and I put more conscious effort into constructing a page in terms of color than I did just a few months ago. When I started doing the painting, I never thought of the color work; now I’m putting more thought into color theory and as a result, I’m using color much more effectively. And I can tell you that I’m suddenly much more appreciative of what colorists are doing! I spend a lot of time studying what they’ve done and trying to figure out how to make it work with my art.”

Crain also has become much more aware of the limitations of the printing process itself. “You can get everything just perfect on the screen, but you won’t know how some of the stuff will turn out until you actually see it printed. I look at the work after it’s printed and realize that some things just don’t work; dark scenes are a particular problem, because the artwork tends to darken up even more after it’s printed.

“I’m also learning little things I can do to give digital art a sharper, more hand-rendered look. I’m using PhotoShop and then it saving flattened files and working with them a little bit more before I send Marvel the CMYK files. I sharpen them all before I send them in, because I discovered with Venom vs. Carnage that the printing process softens that image, makes it fuzz up a bit. As I’m going along through the books, I’ll try different things, and then I’ll look at the printed comic to see what worked and what didn’t. It’s a trial-and-error process to a degree. When I get the book, that’s the first time I’ve seen it in printed form—I don’t get any printed proofs—so I have learn by doing, then waiting a few months for the printed product, then adjusting from there.”

Why does he put so much effort into each page of the book? Simple: he doesn’t want modern readers to experience the sense of disappointment he sometimes found in comics. “In the 1990’s, when I saw a painted cover, I just knew the inside wouldn’t be as awesome—and I was usually right! I want people to realize that when they see the digitally painted front cover from me, the inside will be of the same caliber and the same style.

“I treat the cover like one big panel of the entire story, and I give each interior page the same level of attention. In fact, while I might pay a little more attention to the dramatic composition of a cover image, I actually put a lot more time into the interior work.”

It’s that desire to deliver a whole-comic experience that motivates Crain artistically. “I enjoy doing the interior work; I want to tell a story visually; that’s why I want to do comic books! I don’t get the same enjoyment from doing covers; you’re not really telling a story there. Covers are demanding in their own way, of course; but interior art forces you to think more visually, to compose the page to flow from panel to panel in order to tell the story. That’s what got me into comics to start with!”

Ghost Rider #1, a $2.99 comic, is scheduled for September 7th release.

Marvel will shortly launch a Ghost Rider ongoing series, by Daniel Way, Javier Salteres, and Mark Texeira, which will pick up after the Garth Ennis mini-series.

Alonso said that one of the first mysteries the series will address is what Johnny Blaze is doing in hell - "Someone killed him," Alonso said, adding that finding out who will be one of Ghost Rider's first stories.

depends on how u judge it. if u have got it when it first released monthly (6 months for 6 issues), it costs approximately $36 including the acid-free backing board. perhaps u can make a comparison with the other english specialist shops for the price for the whole set. if u are staying near katong, dun bother to make the comparison, just grab it to save the time. :D

singles or TPB, once again depends on how u judge it. since u have resisted getting the singles, might as well wait for the TPB. :D

"Vicious Cycle," part 2 of 6. Johnny Blaze has escaped from Hell--but unfortunately, he wasn't alone: Lucifer has once again played Johnny for a fool and used him to hitch a ride onto the mortal plane. The Ghost Rider must now track down Lucifer and send him back to where he came from before the Devil succeeds in creating a new Hell...here on earth. This is no small task, but it is further complicated by both the fact that Lucifer hides behind many faces and that there are those‹one very strange man, in particular‹who would prefer Ghost Rider cease his mission immediately...or else.

That hot?! Maybe you can wait for the softcover if really cannot find. Or you can try getting from comic shops but will be a little bit more expensive, think it's around 1.5 as compared to Kino's 1.4. Most important thing to go compare prices with a few shops cos some might sell at really high prices than others.

Written by DANIEL WAY
Pencils & Cover by RICHARD CORBEN
“HELL TO PAY”, PART 1 OF 2

How did Johnny Blaze end up in Hell, anyway? It’s simple, really: He died. And when he died, his eternal soul--long promised to Hell in exchange for “saving” Crash Simpson--descended into the Pit, taking the Ghost Rider along with it. This is the story of how and why it all happened. Daniel Way is joined by horror comic legend RICHARD CORBEN for a special 2-part story.

“HELL TO PAY” PART 2 (of 2)

Meanwhile, in the present, Ghost Rider knows what needs to be done. The problem is that there’s something—someone—holding him back…and it’s not Lucifer. It’s Johnny Blaze. Will Johnny step aside and let Ghost Rider loose to do what he’s meant to do? And should he? After all, it didn’t do him any good in the past—as a matter of fact it’s what damned him to Hell…both when he first summoned the Ghost Rider and then again, years later, on the day Johnny Blaze died.

GHOST RIDER: TRAIL OF TEARS #1 (of 6)
Written by GARTH ENNIS
Pencils and Cover by CLAYTON CRAIN
“Trail of Tears,” Part 1

Here it is -- the prequel to Garth Ennis and Clayton Crain’s smash hit GHOST RIDER: ROAD TO DAMNATION!

Travis Parham thought he’d seen hell. As a lieutenant in the Confederate Army, he stood neck-deep in muck and blood, surrounded by the whistle of hot shrapnel and men’s screams. Two years later, Parham has carved a new life for himself, doing his best to forget the depravity that lurks in the pits of men’s souls.

Now, Parham’s tranquil world is about to be rudely interrupted. Up from the depths comes a force of nature that transcends his wildest dreams -- a fiery wraith that knows a thing or two about evil, and even more about vengeance.

“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Illinois,” Part 1 (of 5)
In a small town northeast of Chicago, people are losing their heads…literally. The sheriff of this sleepy little town firmly believes he’s found the culprit—a scruffy drifter found sleeping in the bushes with blood on his clothes and no believable explanation for where he was and what he was doing when the murders occurred. He even gave the sheriff a fake name: “Johnny Blaze.” But the identity of the true culprit is even more macabre: Lucifer has taken up residence in a new host – a casualty of CIVIL WAR who’s bound to raise eyebrows! And what does this all have to do with CIVIL WAR?

GHOST RIDER: TRAIL OF TEARS #2 (of 6)
Written by GARTH ENNIS
Pencils and Cover by CLAYTON CRAIN

There has always been a Spirit of Vengeance. Before Johnny Blaze, before Danny Ketch, there was Travis Parham. As a lieutenant in the Confederate Army, Parham thought he’d gotten a full view of the darkness in men’s souls. He was wrong. Someone did something terrible to his friend Caleb, and Parham’s ready to ride through hell to find out who did it. Which is a good thing -- ‘cause he’s gonna have to. Up from the depths comes a force of nature that transcends his wildest dreams -- a fiery wraith that knows a thing or two about evil, and even more about vengeance.

Ghost Rider, now back in control after Johnny has (once again) proven himself to be…not so good at it, has begun his brutal final march toward Lucifer’s ultimate destruction.
