"If you need someone to write about heaven, hell, revenge or redemption, Garth Ennis is your man. Among the books he's worked on, his runs on "Hellblazer," "Preacher," "Hitman" and "Punisher" have shown he understands these topics better than anyone. Arriving in stores next Wednesday, he tackles these concepts once more in a brand new "Ghost Rider" miniseries. CBR News had the opportunity to catch up with the scribe and talk about this new take on a familiar character.

To begin with, this Ghost Rider is tied to previous incarnations primarily through the body he possesses, namely Johnny Blaze. Aside from that, "it doesn't really follow any previous series," said Ennis. "We hit the ground running, no looking back. His sins finally caught up with him, as you'll see in the first issue."

In explaining the Blaze/Ghost Rider dynamic, Ennis stated, "The relationship is pretty simple: Johnny Blaze is heartily sick of being the Ghost Rider and will do practically anything to be rid of his curse. But Blaze hardly features at all in this story, it's pretty much the Rider all the way."

1. Johnny Blaze is such a great character.

I never got into Danny Ketch, I have allways liked Blaze better. I am glad that he has a new monthly. Here's hoping it will last.
