This is the last issue, right?
How do you fuck up so bad, Marvel?

is this the last Hulk and Friends adventure with a weak Ghost Rider B-story comic?

It didn't work with Circle of Four, of course it didn't work again.

This should have been the book from the start. Robbie tearing shit up. It's why Ghost Racers was the best thing he's ever been in.

Thanks

I'm salty af over the way this book turned out because the 'circle of four' dynamic is what derailed my last favorite character Agent Venom's solo book, too. And I was just now getting into the Robbie Reyes character! :/

>>91135596
Hopefully this is the end of this Gringo Rider bullshit.

>>91135804

No, none of this. More Ghost Rider, less these losers.

Felipe Smith's next project is The T.O. & the Boot!

I think this might have worked better if they did a one issue tie-in with the others and have it be a mostly solo Ghost Rider run.

>>91135845
Why am I getting Lastman vibes from this?

>>91135819
Poor bait, Robbie is one of the few non shit characters left at Marvel. It's just that they sabotage his books

The art got Tumblr-quality pretty fast, this is what happens when you sack all the actual talent away.

The only cool thing about these comics is the Ghost Rider's car. Thats it.

The creature would be much more horrifying if everyone else wouldn't be so inconsistently drawn as well.

"Yuck, the creature is an amorphous mess of faces!", yeah, so is the cast of heroes as well.

>>91135955
I know the book this book is shit, Robbie isn't the problem though.

>>91135994
$5 he gets a weaker version of its powers

>captcha: kirkbride close

>>91135998
See, this is what I was hoping this series would mostly consist of. High Speed Ghost Rider Action.

Prepare your anus

I love how the artist attempts to make the Hulk look asian all the time, so as a result he looks slightly bored in every close-up.

Robbie and a homage to new FF. This should be great. So why is it so bad? How?

I'm sad we won't get to see Felipe's Shin-ANGR tear up the streets of LA if this is the kind of madness he was going to get up to.

Is this Pokemon? He literally use Flamethrower like he was a sort of Charizard. Even the pose.

Love how naturally and not like a sudden cancellation this end as.

Aw man. The monster was a Crystal Gem the entire time!

And Eli, the absolute madman!

Thanks, OP!

>>91136193

Jesus he looks like a fucking dork in human form.

Charizard doesn't get down on all fours. Pokemon wasn't the first to do flame breath either.

>>91136193
Oh cool, Felipe was setting up Eli taking over the monster for future shenanigans. Too bad those shenanigans will NEVER HAPPEN.

>>91136236
>alien space rock

>>91136221

Tbh i dont think the artist can draw humans well in general.

>>91136236
Steven Universe reference. Don't worry about it, you're better off not knowing.

>>91135920
Too bad the rest of it is pretty terrible.
Whoever's drawing this doesn't seem to know how to pace action very well.

>>91136097
Thank you, anon, it did actually make the pages better.

>>91136159
Going full 90s Kamen Rider there.

>>91135889
One thing I would say is this monster is really enjoyably gross.

>>91136133
That would be a really cool moment if this wasn't all so phoned in.
Could you imagine this fight drawn by Moore?

They wasted so much time and potential with this bizarre forced crossover.

so in this last comic, we resolve the b-plot but not the main character plot of 'reformed' banger mechanic we concentrated so much time on

>>91136421
Yep. We also didn't resolve Robbie's super-form nor did we get the return of Piston Nitro that the back-up from the first issue set-up.

>we will never know what happened to the rabioso plotline

FUCK MARVEL.

>>91136468

Gotta love Marvel's strategy.
1. Cancel the books that aren't total garbage.
2. Keep SJW shit comics.
3. ???
4. Profit.

I think it came too soon and too much focus was put on the guest characters.

Anybody else find something really appealing about Smith's character designs? Dunno if it's the manga background but I always like his expressions.

>>91136638
The cover art? Yeah, it's nice.
The interior though...

>>91135596
what does the "after arthur adams" note mean?

>>91136574

They've been doing similarly shitty strategies, yes. But SJWs are a whole new flavor of shit.

>>91136193
Thanks, OP. I hate that they decided to pull the plug right when the team-up arc was finally ending and we could get back to focusing on Robbie and Eli. Given his appearance in AoS (and, to a lesser extent, the fact that he's an Hispanic guy with an autistic brother), I thought Marvel would've let it run a little longer. Here's hoping things turn out better next time.

>>91136754
He was autistic? i thought he was retarded or something. Kid can barely feed himself some cereal and yet autistic /pol/tards can find flag in unknown location in under 36 hours with just a view of a flag and the sky.

>>91136930
I may be remembering it wrong, but I think it was mentioned in the first run that he was autistic.

>>91136930
they call it a spectrum become some have more severe cases than others
I went to highschool with a guy whose autistic brother couldn't even speak english and only barely understood it

>>91136958
I thought it was cerebral palsy.

>>91137040
i think you might be right.

>>91135628
...did they fuck up the speech bubbles here? Those are two different guys, right?

>>91137217
no same guy, just shit art on humans

>>91136742
It's acknowledging that the cover art is a redraw/homage of a piece Arthur Adams did.
It's a comic book art tradition thing.

Man, this book got shafted hard. I don't think I've ever seen a book start off this strong only to get this sabotaged by editors.
Why they couldn't just let the man tell his story?? Every... EVERY crossover in this book was absolutely garbage.
(Ghost Racers and the Kamala Romance technically wasn't in this book)

>>91137309
>It's acknowledging that the cover art is a redraw/homage of a piece Arthur Adams did.

aha. cool. thanks for explaining.

>>91137309
>Why they couldn't just let the man tell his story?? Every... EVERY crossover in this book was absolutely garbage
I agree, but Marvel just doesnt like their fanbase. They prefer being "progressive" over telling good stories with good characters.
Honestly, If X-men prime and on flops im done no more marvel for me.

>>91136007
Robbie is not a ghost Rider tho, hell blazing skull is more of a ghost Rider than robbie.

>>91135978
>the fucking Hulk can't stop this terrifying monster
>maybe if I throw an exploding barrel at it

>>91136421
>we resolve the b-plot but not the main character plot
You must be mistaken. Clearly the main character plot is Hulk and his purple monster.

>>91135596
Thank you

So Robbie's going back in the Closet of Forgotten Characters with the likes of Mania and the other Ghost Riders again, isn't he?

>>91135596
Robbie didn't deserve this.

>>91135596
>Last issue all because Marvel can't keep their shitty characters away from other people's comics
Fuck everything.

Has anyone else noticed that when not fighting super villains, Robby fights a lot of gangbangers, but they're always Hispanic gangbangers. What do you think the odds are that there's an editorial mandate that he's not allowed to fight black people?

>>91140349
Most likely.

>>91135911
Looks like Coulson with gamma powers.

>>91135974
It was a nice surprise, they reference that move anytime there is a small character with claws around next to either colossus or a hulk
