hey guys,
been lurking around here under my bro's name a while, and finally decided to make a name of my own. Anyways, this was an interpretation i had for ghost rider, only i'd like to refer to him as the spirit of vengeance and play off that angle a bit. After i thought about it a bit, it sounded an awful lot like the crow, but whatever body the ghost rider inhabits doesn't have a will of their own. the ghost rider feeds off the memories and pain of the victim, and it is the one seeking vengeance for the victim. okay, well this is just the premise. let me know what u think.

It’s been said that the Spirit of Vengeance resides in all of us. Most of our lives we go on without any knowledge of its existence, but on rare occasions, when the price of retribution must be paid; when the thirst of vengeance must be quenched… it will awaken. 300-years-ago, it walked the earth as a desecrated samurai come back to reclaim his honor; 60-years-ago, it arose as a little dead Jewish girl, walking along the shores of Normandy, slaying the evil that stole her life and family; and 8-years-ago, it returned in Danny Ketch, a teenager who died believing the lies he was fed.
No one can explain the Spirit of Vengeance or its existence. Simply put? Just as there is a need for the water we drink and the air we breathe, there is a need for a spirit of vengeance, so it simply came to be.

Man, I don't have heaps of experience with ghost rider, but that definately sounds cool. Plus, the writing is good and strong. It manages to get some solid exposition going without losing the creep-factor. And creep-factor it has, as well as a very, sort of, alluring 'old world' spookiness that makes me definately wanna read more.

In other words, great stuff. I think this definately has promise as a developable concept, particularly with this kind of writing driving it. :)

Sounds a lot like a....oh....a more historical view on "The Crow".
