SDCC | West Coast Avengers returns this winter from Gerry Duggan + Danny Kim

The new line-up is heavy on metal, with Iron Man, War Machine and Ultron joining the team.

If you thought Gerry Duggan was done with Iron Man, think again — although his time on the ongoing title wrapped up and a new title is set to debut this fall, Duggan will continue to write both Iron Man and War Machine in West Coast Avengers.

The title gets revived this November by Duggan and Danny Kim, and it features an interesting line-up: Iron Man, War Machine, Spider-Woman, Firestar and Ultron. Who is apparently a good guy now, maybe, in the One World Under Doom status quo.

The new, evil Ghost Rider will release his vengeance in March

A Marvel villain takes the mantle from Johnny Blaze in ‘Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance’ by Benjamin Percy and Danny Kim.

After teasing that Johnny Blaze would drop the Ghost Rider mantle to someone unexpected, Marvel has revealed who exactly will become the new Spirit of Vengeance — and it is Parker Robbins, aka the street-level supernatural villain The Hood.

Marvel will unleash a new Ghost Rider in ‘Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance’

Benjamin Percy and Danny Kim team up to reveal a new chapter for the Spirit of Vengeance.

Johnny Blaze’s long ride as Ghost Rider will reach its end (again) as a new Ghost Rider debuts next year in Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance.

Yes, his 50-year ride comes to an end … minus all the years when he wasn’t Ghost Rider, which was from 1983, when the original series ended and Blaze became demon-free, until the early 2000s, when he was demon-cursed again. So maybe more like 30 years, with a nice gap in between runs when he was living the good life with his wife Roxanne and their kids?

Anyway, this time someone new is going to become Ghost Rider. No, not Danny Ketch, or Robbie Reyes … or that guy who rides the mastodon, or Ghost Rider 2099, or Cosmic Ghost Rider, or the one who was also sorcerer supreme … ah, hell, just take a look at Greg Capullo’s variant cover:
