Ngozi, Marvel's newest superhero was inspired by Nigeria's chibok girls.

I can't deal with that foolishness.

If it's anything like spiderverse, all the cool ones will be dead or forgotten.

I am down for some crazy absurd shit
Whatre the best stories atm featuring ghost rider (card driver)
Mine as well.
the newest rider has three runs. his original, ghost racers(the secret wars tie in thats not connected to anything)and his recently cancelled book

Oh yes Ghost Racers. I thought it was a good premise but kind of dropped the ball storywise. Cool to see all those AU Ghost Riders tho.
Anyways... it's great to see more Nigerian representation in media recently. It's dope to see more of that like Doomfist in Overwatch. It's too bad this is AU only but once upon a time Miles and Old Man Logan were AU only so.....
Kamala Khan Ms Marvel vol 1 - perfect starting point!!

Throw that in the trash.
she would probably make more sense as an AU character in the mainline than miles does though

Robbie Reyes became the Ghost Rider in 2013 (I think). His run starts there and I forget who the artist is for the first 6 issues but that art was fucking AMAZING. I stopped reading after the artist changed but I'm sure the story was still good.
tradd moore was the initial artist. if you can you should seek out the luther strode series
Wasn't Gwenpool one of the EoV hosts? Did they disclude her for some reason?

That art fits the situation so well. It's just so goofy and bright-looking, perfect. Sounds like a stupidly awesome concept too.
It came from space, so I can imagine somebody with it happen to be in Africa, & it got unleashed there. It's not impossible to believe.

She looks really cool. I'd like to see more.
The sad, sad destiny of all female venoms :C
Tho in seriousness it would be cool if she caught on.
Would be cooler if it wasn't a mantle[ish] character.

Idie Okonkwo from X-Men is Nigerian and there have been plenty of Marvel stories that take place in real Africa.

It's awesome there are people in this thread who are touched and inspired by this representation. Really cool! This is why diversity matters. : )

Boat.
the very first run is the best, since you get to know robbie and gabe. riders is a what if story thats off the walls insanity, the comeback book was weak, mainly due to the setup of trying to recreate the new fantastic 4
Sort of related but not really but sort of do you think that when Marvel reboots the cinema universe they tell the story of an alternative universe or maybe combined a couple alternative universes together or do you think they'll try to continue with the main line with just new representatives of the same superheroes. At this point I think it would be more interesting if they brought in a whole new line of Heroes rather than replacing the ones they exist with new actors and doing it in a different universe/reality. Even keep some of the existing superheroes but tell stories entirely differently with maybe more emphasis on different Heroes that haven't really been emphasized yet. Stuff like what is in this.
I I mean maybe this question is better asked in a different thread but seeing the story kind of inspired that thought because I would like to see stuff like this in cinema. It is why I'm so excited about the Black Panther movie. And I will say as a white person I think the Black Panther movie will be very popular with everyone. That's to the people who think that minorities can't sell movies to white people. Some of the best stuff that's been in cinemas and TV recently has been minority actor driven and I want to see more

It's from a 4 issue AU Secret Wars tie-in called Ghost Racers where all the Ghost Riders are picked from alternate universes and are forced to race against each other with Arcade being the Grand Master behind the whole thing. It was okay but no where near the best to come out of the Secret Wars tie-ins. Has some nice ass art tho.
That's Marvel and DC in general. They love to introduce characters for then to just throw them away. From Marvel, characters like Araña, the casts of Runaways, X-Men Academy, Young Avengers, Avengers Academy, Generation Hope and more are mostly languishing in limbo.
We need another Avengers Arena to thin the herd.
No
That's reminds what happened to Indie the Nigerian Xmen
And I was disappointed that the Wakandans won't be speaking Hausa
How about an Academy Civil War?
One of the dumbest fucking ideas in recent marvel history. And that includes the events.
I honestly can't believe marvel thought it was a good idea
That solves nothing, as they'll just keep introducing new characters for the same thing to happen. We need writers who want to write about characters other than just the ones they liked growing up, and write some stories with finality.

How come the characters in these books never really stuck. I mean, I love Young Avengers and Runaways but they aren't very popular compared to other kid heroes in this age like Ms. Marvel and Spider-Man (Miles) I hope its not because they don't have name recognition...
Ms marvel was a stroke of luck. Good thing she was well written as well. And miles got a push for being s minority spider man. The few teen heroes that exist don't last long enough to get pushed
That works too.

Venomverse has been so weird.
Instead of copying the Spider-Verse forumla and creating a bunch of cool original characters with symbiote powers, they've just been going "Look it's your favorite characters, but now their outfits are black!" Their personalities haven't even been all that different.
This story was a breath of fresh air because they at least tried to do something.
