Guy Gardner and Ghost Rider

 

If there's any member of the GLC that would join forces with a demonic hero like Ghost Rider, Guy Gardner might just fit the bill.  I think he'd appreciate his no-nonsense attitude and get a kick out of his freaky look.  It would be fun to see these two rebels tear things up together.

Ghost Rider and Lobo

 

There's been lots of rumors swirling about Jason Mamoa playing Lobo in James' Gunns new DCU movie plans.  This is really what should have been done in the first place, he's a perfect fit for the character and basically infused that personality onto Arthur Curry anyway. Some say that there will be confusion with him going from Aquaman to a new comic character, but I think that audiences have seen enough actors play multiple superhero roles in the past that they can roll with it.

Batman & The Outsiders and Ghost Rider in: "Cult of Vengeance!"

 

Howard Mackie and Javier Saltares' relaunch of Ghost Rider in the 90's really made an impression on me.  I remember being disappointed that the series would not revolve around Johnny Blaze, but the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider design was so cool it was hard to resist.  I especially liked the new look for the motorcycle, with its flaming wheels.  Plus, Johnny joined the series soon enough!

Spider-Man and Wildcat

 

I'm excited to see what new animation styles will be employed by Spider-Man:  Across the Spider-Verse, Part One.  The rumor is that Miles Morales will be visiting a bunch of different realities, each with it's own visual appearance.  After the amazing work done in the first film, I can only imagine what the animators have in store now that they have the wind of an Oscar win at their back.

Wildcat met the Peter Parker Spider-Man back in STF #2100...

Moon Knight and Rose & The Thorn in: "The Darkest Impulse!"

 

Rose is of course referring to when these two heroes first crossed paths way back in STF #268...

The trailer for the Disney+ Moon Knight series looked pretty cool.  I was surprised at the accent that Oscar Isaac was using in the role, but I guess that's a good way to distinguish between his different personalities.  The quick bits of action were pretty impressive, they did a great job of translating his outfit to live action.  I can't wait to see Werewolf by Night and what other supernatural elements or characters that may be introduced in the series.

Dr. Fate Vs. Ghost Rider

The two Ghost Rider movies starring Nicholas Cage are both extremely cheesy with weak villains and lots of over-acting.  Even so, whenever I stumble upon one of the action sequences on TV while channel flipping, I have to stop and watch it.  It's a testament to the awesome design of the character and his vehicles.  Even in a sub-par product, he is very cool to watch do his thing.

These two first crossed paths way back in STF #233...

Ghost Rider and Blue Devil in: "Charge of the Cursed!"

When Howard Mackie and Javier Saltares relaunched Ghost Rider back in 1990, they also reignited my interest in the character.  I still remember that run fondly.  Saltares gave Dan Ketch a great look, and in my opinion the best Ghost Rider cycle ever.

Blue Devil and the Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider had an adventure together back in STF #732...

Man-Bat and Ghost Rider

I remember watching Super Friends and the Filmation Batman cartoons as a kid, it was cool to see one of my favorite superheroes on the screen, but I always wanted more.  As I grew older and was exposed to some more adult cartoons from Japan end elsewhere, I wondered why a Batman cartoon could not be produced  with those sensibilities.  Finally, Batman: The Animated Series was announced and it sounded like just what I had been waiting for.  Boy was I right.  I can still clearly remember watching the premiere episode, "On Leather Wings".  Not only did it show a Batman miles closer to the comics than any other attempt, it featured Man-Bat, a character that never would have shown up on earlier incarnations.  I was hooked, and that first episode still remains a favorite.

Jack Skellington and Ghost Rider

Who needs Rudolph to lead your sleigh when you have Ghost Rider's flaming cycle?

I'd like to wish a Merry Christmas to everyone who takes time out to visit the blog.  I truly appreciate all of the feedback and kind words that you have given me.  It's been another fun year creating covers, and I hope that you will continue to make Super-Team: The Lost Issues a regular stop!

Now get off the computer and spend some holiday time with your loved ones!

The Flash and Ghost Rider

For the fastest man on Earth, The Flash is sure taking a slow road to the silver screen.  I have heard rumors of a film for years, but nothing solid ever seems to materialize.  I used to think that he would be one of the harder characters to set a movie around because of his bright costume and outlandish rogues, but we have seen colorful costumes work well on screen and today's special effects could really make some of his adventures come to life.  The 90's TV series went for a darker, street level look inspired by the 1989 Batman movie, but what I would like to see is a true Flash style adventure.  Heck, Rise of the Planet of the Apes convinced me that we could see a Flash Vs. Gorilla Grodd movie that wouldn't be played for laughs.
