Robbie Reyes’ life is a nightmare.Still a teenager in high school, he must look after and support his wheelchair-bound little brother, Gabe, in the absence of his deadbeat parents, and work an after-school job at a body shop. They live in a crime-ridden neighbourhood in LA, gangs operating on every street corner, drugs and guns everywhere, while Robbie spends each day telling himself he’ll get them out there, him and Gabe, out somewhere safe, somehow…Then one day Gabe’s beaten up by some thugs from Robbie’s school and his electric wheelchair stolen. It becomes the last straw and Robbie knows he has to do something drastic to get them out. He steals a souped-up gangster car and enters an illegal street race with a big cash prize – enough to start over with a new life.But Robbie stole the wrong car. In the boot are bags of a new pill created by the evil Dr Zabo which his private army of mercenaries hunt and kill Robbie for. As his life ebbs away from him, the pain and rage of his life calls out to a kindred spirit – the Spirit of Vengeance! Robbie Reyes is... the All New Ghost Rider!OK - this is a really decent comic but let’s be clear: it’s also pretty simplistic, story-wise. It’s kinda manipulative to have some one-dimensional jerks beat up a kid in a wheelchair – I mean, what else are you supposed to feel except anger at such a despicable act?And the main villain is your cookie-cutter mad scientist who, when drinking a potion, turns into a vicious monster. It’s so unsubtle, the creature is actually called Mr Hyde! The other villain is as one-dimensional as you can get – a gangsta psycho called Grumpy who goes from drug dealing crazy to pouring handfuls of pills down his gullet as he transforms into this frothing juiced-out lunatic!
