The first one (to the right), is of Ghost Rider hanging out with Curly and the gang. There's something kinda priceless about the casual way the guys are shooting the breeze here. Like: nothing outta the ordinary here, just hanging with my flaming-headed biker pal. Cherish these moments early on in the series when Johnny Blaze and the Ghost Rider are pretty much one and the same because once the Ghost Rider starts asserting his power, it's just mayhem, mayhem, mayhem (not that I object!).
Budiansky will later try to convince us that she's not one to wilt in the face of danger, but since she's never more than a prop throughout her formative appearances, it's hard to think of her as anything but a liability to Johnny (who's too dumb ~ and he would be the first to admit it ~ to juggle demonic possession and a love life).
In other news: I read Ghost Rider: Trail of Tears last night and will probably post a review on Sunday.
