Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore BOTH drew covers for their new "Ghost Rider" debut

 So we are pretty psyched for the new Ghost Rider comic written by the mighty Felipe Smith, but we aint forgot he's got mad drawing chops, too! He pulled out a new style for this variant cover, and it looks pretty dope. For more fire, peep the regular cover by series artist Tradd Moore (Luther Strode) below...

GET YOUR DIRTY HANDS OFF MY WOMAN, TEK!

I met nerdcore emcee/beatmaker Tekforce at the Listening party for Sivion's album last month. Cool cat. Even though he went to the Jean Grae show and I didn't, I am posting a couple of his songs to show how much I am not hating. Cause... I'm totally not hating.

This dude ANDREW HUERTA is SICK with the pen... SICK, I SAY!!!

Here's an itinerary (that's just a list of places and dates, fools) and some more art below...

New cover. New title. STILL the BEST SUPER HERO NOVEL I have ever read! #begBorrowSteal

David Walker (BadAzz Mofo, Blind Monkey Style) has written the best super hero story I've read in a long time, and did it without needing to lean on a superstar artist. If you want to read a decent superhero genre novel, there are lots of choices out there. If you want a GREAT superhero novel, buy Super Justice Force (The Adventures of Darius Logan) now.

*Shrug* I'd watch it...

I'm obviously a big fan of indie comic book dude and filmmaker Yehudi Mercado (Buffalo Speedway, Pantalones, TX), so that explains why I'm already in line to watch/read whatever Hero Hotel is gonna be.  Watch this youtube trailer and I'll hold a spot for you in line...
