You’d be hard-pressed to find a more vengeful class of criminal in the Marvel Universe than supervillains. So, it makes sense that Ghost Rider, the Spirit of Vengeance, would abandon its more heroic host in favor of one more open to campaigns of bloody and horrific retribution. That’s exactly what it does in Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance, a new series by Ghost Rider writer Benjamin Percy and artist Danny Kim that kicks off in March.Making matters worse is the fact that the criminal who’s claimed the Ghost Rider’s power and flaming skull is a particularly vicious one who already wields a potent piece of arcane power — Parker Robbins, AKA the Hood. Which major American city will he target in his quest for power? And what does his acquisition of Ghost Rider’s mystical might mean for the now former Spirit of Vengeance, Johnny Blaze? For the answers to those questions and more, CBR spoke with Percy about his plans for Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance.Benjamin Percy: A few things inspired me to graft the Spirit onto Parker Robbins. I like blending genres, and The Long Halloween has always been one of my favorite graphic novels. I want to blend horror and crime in a similar fashion. The Hood strikes me as someone who’s not so far off from Ray Liotta in Goodfellas. He’s always wanted to hit the big time. A deal with Mephisto might give him that shot.
