"There are so many places you can go because in the comics he became an Avenger and he's now the All-Rider (a Ghost Rider without limits), which is pretty awesome when you think about it. The actor pointed out how Robbie Reyes has "become quite an important piece in Marvel publishing," and that he "absolutely deserves :" But he's a wonderful character and I love him. I know that's said a lot but I think people forget about 2016 when we did that with Robbie. To bring awareness to the character, to show people a Mexican-American hero - the first on television, I believe. and if we only ever did those ten episodes and nothing else, I would feel very complete with what we were able to do. Everyone loved Robbie and they loved the character. I would definitely think that there's a lot more to say. "You know, I think that the way we left it. Luna admitted that "there's definitely a lot more to say" with the character and how " absolutely be happy to continue:" In an interview with, while promoting HBO's The Last of Us, Gabriel Luna discussed his previous role as Ghost Rider in Agents of SHIELD's fourth season and if he'd ever return for more. However, since his last appearance on the show in 2017, there’s been no word on whether or not Luna’s hell-blazing hero would return.īut would the actor do it if the opportunity arose? Will Diego Luna Be the Ghost Rider Again? Marvel Luna's version of the character, Robbie Reyes, who appeared in ten episodes of SHIELD's fourth season, was lauded as some of the best work the show ever did across its seven seasons. But when the comic version is so redundant and obvious, why bother? Robbie Reyes: Ghost Rider #1 is categorically not a good comic.Gabriel Luna, the actor behind Agents of SHIELD’s Ghost Rider, revealed whether or he’d return to his super-powered role. That’s fine there’s room for both in the Marvel kingdom. Listen, the Reyes Ghost Rider on Agents of SHIELD is an adult and much different than the youthful comic book Reyes. It’s all very loud and obvious and the character of Reyes deserves better. There is a backup story where Ghost Rider fights a Harley Quinn rip-off skateboarder. I’m not sure why Marvel would think that a Ghost Rider book needs to be standard and contain pretty much no horror elements - but here you go. It’s all very standard superhero fare with no edge whatsoever. The dialogue is clunky, the pacing is atrocious, and nothing of substance happens in the entire issue. Between sequences of Robbie and Gabe you have the Amadeus Cho Hulk assisting in some kind of experiment where a rat becomes monstrous, and then after a bunch of clumsy exposition explaining Reyes’ origin and connection to Ghost Rider, you have a few pages of Reyes flirting with Wolverine. The rest of the issue is a mish-mash of ideas and guest appearances that don’t hold together – at all. The moments between Robbie and Gabe really draw a reader in and makes Reyes seem like a true hero.Īnd that’s where the good stuff ends. The relationship between Robbie and Gabe is heartwarming and really makes the Reyes character stand out from previous incarnations of Ghost Rider. For those of you who didn’t read the original Reyes Ghost Rider series, Gabe is a special needs child seemingly on the autism spectrum. Highlight #2 is the way writer Felipe Smith handles Robbie Reyes’ brother, Gabe. A feeling that is supported by the fact that this issue also guest stars the Totally Awesome Hulk and the X-23 version of Wolverine. The more standard art style makes it seem like Reyes has now been integrated into the Marvel Universe proper. Beyruth is a much more traditional artist than the Reyes’ artistic creator Tradd Moore. The art on the main story of Robbie Reyes: Ghost Rider #1 is really good. Sadly, while Reyes has been used to great effect on Marvel TV, Robbie Reyes: Ghost Rider #1 is pretty darn terrible. Reyes has been a stand out on Agents of SHIELD, so this type of marketing synergy is pretty welcome and obvious. So, now’s the time to gives Reyes and his ghostly dark passenger his own comic once again. The Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider has had a big-time spotlight shined on him of late thanks to the character’s awesome inclusion on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. Oh? Still here? Thank you!Īrtist: Danilo S. Gang, our Robbie Reyes: Ghost Rider #1 review is a little SPOILER-Y, so…check back with us after you’ve read the issue.
