GHOST RIDER: TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS TPB
Written by JASON AARON & SIMON SPURRIER
Penciled by TONY MOORE & MARK ROBINSON
Cover by MARK TEXEIRA
Hit the highway with four stories starring the Spirit(s) of Vengeance! The all-new Caretaker struggles to pick up the pieces of her life, but the mad-dog man-mountain called the Deacon has other plans. Plus: Caretaker leads a special guided tour of the long sordid history of the Spirit of Vengeance in America. Learn the legend of the Highwayman, the hellbilly terror of the hammer lane — a former trucker who was cursed by the devil and now drives a mystical black rig, preying on the souls of anyone foolish enough to drive his highways. See what happens when Johnny Blaze tries to get away from it all in a sleepy fishing village in Japan, where the locals have some demons of their own. And welcome to Mercy, Idaho, a small town in the hills with more than its fair share of secrets: a winged terror that haunts the woods; an irresistible pull on the desperate and the suicidal; and now a stranger on a low-slung chopper, with fire in his eyes. For Johnny Blaze, searching for a way to wage war against heaven itself, the frozen forests of Mercy might just provide a path through the Pearly Gates. Collects GHOST RIDER #33-#35 & ANNUAL #2.

Latour is a good friend and great conversationalist, in addition to being one hell of an artist and writer (though he does have rather poor taste in sports franchises). Look for his upcoming Southern fried crime series LOOSE ENDS from Image. This kick-ass SCALPED piece is from his blog.

Hear for yourself.

Contest announcement from Project: Rooftop:

Wolverine may be the best there is at what he does, but he ain’t no fashion designer, bub! That’s where we come in. Project: Rooftop and online comics retailer DCBService.com have partnered together to present “Wolverine: Look Sharp,” your chance to take Weapon X in for some upgrades!

With Wolvie’s origin flick hitting theaters later this week, Old Man Logan is on the minds of comics-loving fans and the general public. Created nearly 30 years ago by Len Wein and John Romita Sr., Wolverine has put together a well-stocked superhero wardrobe since. He’s rocked his classic blue and yellow tights, his brown and orange variant, the Weapon X mission gear, the one-handed Age of Apocalypse attire, his Ultimate Universe duds, the New X-Men black and yellows, his new X-Force mission suit, the movie costumes, and of course, the naked VR training look, which not everyone can pull off.

Now it’s your turn. Can the Canucklehead turn heads? Let’s find out! Discount Comic Book Service (DCBS) has provided the following (astonishing) prizes:

Grand Prize - Wolverine Omnibus, Wolverine: Weapon X #1 Coipel Variant signed by Jason Aaron and Ron Garney, and Wolverine: Enemy of the State HC Vol 1 and 2
