Marvel Announces Ghost Rider Special Featuring Robbie Reyes

Robbie Reyes races back into the spotlight in a new Ghost Rider one-shot celebrating Hispanic & Latin American Heritage Month. The Ghost Rider legacy has a long list of former and current hosts to the Spirit of Vengeance, with Marvel recently adding the villainous Hood to its numbers. However, one of the more popular additions to the Ghost Rider mythos is Robbie Reyes, the street racer from East Los Angeles. Robbie was a central character in Jason Aaron’s Avengers run, and his status quo has been left up in the air ever since it ended. A special one-shot will look to get readers caught up on Robbie while also featuring an all-new Ghost Rider.

Ghost Rider: Robbie Reyes Special #1 is the latest installment in the Marvel’s Voices line and will put the spotlight on Hispanic and Latin American creators and cultures. There will be three stories written and drawn by a host of acclaimed talent and rising stars including the return of Robbie Reyes’ co-creator Felipe Smith. In addition, Ghost Rider: Robbie Reyes Special #1 brings back Fantasma, the Ghost Rider created by Luciano Vecchio for last year’s New Champions variant cover program. This will mark Fantasma’s official Marvel debut inside a comic.

Marvel has released the three covers for Ghost Rider: Robbie Reyes Special #1 including the main cover by artist Humberto Ramos, a variant cover by Marvel Comics newcomer J. Gonzo, and a cover spotlighting Fantasma by Gerardo Sandoval.
