11 Reasons You're Wrong About Marvel Legacy

4. Spirits Of Vengeance Is Everything

Despite being the subject of a largely underrated series in 2014, Ghost Rider has, for the most part, been absent from the Marvel universe.

The same applies to Blade, who, despite having led three feature films, a TV show and multiple comics in the past, has struggled for a comic book of his own for some time now. While Spirits of Vengeance isn't the solo series we've been waiting for, in that respect, it is the next best thing, and features the character teaming up with Ghost Rider, which is a match made in Hell if we've ever seen one.

For context: the original Spirits of Vengeance series was a Ghost Rider book through and through, and saw the then Ghost Rider, Danny Ketch, join forces with the OG rider - who fans will know as Johnny Blaze (also Cage) - to avert a spiritual threat. This series will follow a different path however, with Daimon Hellstrom, Satana and Johnny Blaze (oddly sporting Ketch's Rider style, but whatever) all teaming up to stop an otherworldly threat.

It makes sense to pool all of Marvel's supernatural characters together, especially since it's an area DC have had them beat in for decades now, but it would be even better to have another Rider/Daywalker series to follow it. Either way, it illustrates Marvel are willing to broaden their horizons with Legacy, and return to aspects of their brand that have gone unnoticed for far too long.
