Ghost Rider #15 with Michael Tanner

On this episode Matt and special guest co-host Michael Tanner (writer of ORCS IN SPACE, JUNIOR BRAVES OF THE APOCALYPSE, and more!) see if the first ever glow-in-the-dark comic cover still has enough power to deliver a penance stare as they discuss 1991's GHOST RIDER #15. It turns out that there's A LOT Matt doesn't know about Ghost Rider, so Tanner has to explain Danny Ketch's need to nap in Central Park, Blackout's cosplay origins, why Johnny Blaze is so mad, how to properly pronounce Zarathos, who the hell H.E.A.R.T. is, and why anyone would ever think someone called Deathwatch might have good intentions. Also, what's up with Ghost Rider fighting ninjas?  That's just weird. Plus, Tanner delights Matt with the backstory to the song "Ghost Rider" performed by the Rollins Band for THE CROW soundtrack. But seriously, why does Ghost Rider fight so many ninjas?  Matt needs an answer.
