Daniel Way must have made a deal with the Devil, because he continues to be employed by Marvel....
GHOST RIDER #18 came out this week and dropped quite the bombshell on fans... SPOILER AHEAD (if the pic hasn't already done the job)...
Ghost Rider is actually an ANGEL.
WAY explained that Johnny Blaze still made the deal with the Devil, but when the Devil came to collect, Roxanne Simpson prayed for Johnny. Heaven heard her prayers and stepped in, bonding Johnny's soul with the angel Zadkiel. Apparently Angels cannot be condemned to Hell except by God. Therefore, Johnny (who is angel-mixed forever now) is "safe". Way also said that it did not make sense for an agent of Hell to be running around helping innocents... that is something an angel would do, not a demon.
So there you have it. Ghost Rider is now an angel. I'm not quite clear if he's ALWAYS been an Angel; retconned history... or if he's NOW an angel. Way has been retconning Wolverine into a steaming pile of poop in WOLVERINE: ORIGINS (oh god, its soooo bad), so I can see him retconning this.
Ghost Rider is now like DC's THE SPECTRE..... or 1998's atrocious "ANGEL PUNISHER". That's right, I went there.
Ya know what, Way? Since you love retconning shit so everything "connects" and you're a fan of "great ideas", why not just go for it and have Wolverine be the new Angel Ghost Rider - Flaming Skull (in shape of his pointy hair of course), angel wings, claws.... and a side-car to the motorcycle that "X-Rider-23" rides in! Ass.

someone PLEASE fire this guy,..He's BUTCHERED wolverine to the point I want the Character killed off,..or Pull a "Skrul" switch with false memories or something,..SOMETHING!!!! ( I can't even stand to look at the characyter anymore). This guy sucks (yes,.. REALLY mean that) and should not be allowed near any established Marvel Character.
- I'm beginng to really despise this guy.
no,..no...no,...Wolverine should be Nick Fury's father, and his blood should have been used for the Super-Soldier Serum...and Bucky is really a clone of him (so his powers will kick in soon) and He saved Magneto's life in the concentration camps, while working under cover with Mystique (who was his lover) and turns out he's really Rogue's father, and while working in Korea, saved Peter Parker's Father's life, after he talked to proffessor Xavier about helping other mutants (that's why charles wants to 'help' him so much to recover his memories) before he hid the Gem of Cyttorak in those ruins that Cane Marco found,.....but a little after he slept with Elektra's real mother...who he met thru Colossus's grandfather, who he helped fend off the Russians during WWII after he saved a young Black Widow...
I think it could have been worse. At least Ghost Rider isn't the new Captain America.
To quote Han Solo, "It's worse."
Zarathos never cared about innocent bystanders, he punished the guilty to feed his addiction to burn souls that were wicked when he was in control. Blaze did restrained him a bit since there was like battle between them for control. This is why a demon goes after sinners for vengeance.
"IT DOES MAKE SENSE!"
When Blaze was in control, he helped people.
A lot of these writers just don't get it because they never think these things through. They're too busy thinking that being comic book writers automatically makes them experts to heroism, politics, and things like this.
