About this episode

The episode discusses the final issue of Marvel's BLAZE comic series, featuring Johnny Blaze and various supernatural elements.

Hell yeah, it is the return of FINAL ISSUE BLUES here under the Worst Collection Ever umbrella of media offerings. FINAL ISSUE BLUES is a segment were we talk about the last issue of a comic book series. This time out, we will discuss the end of Marvel’s BLAZE [vol 1] (1994-1995) ending with issue #12 in July 1995. Blaze — as in Johnny Blaze — is best known as (technically) the second Ghost Rider. He’s wrapping up his (to date) only solo series effort kicking it with the Punisher to fight off a north New Jersey vampire motorcycle club in a graveyard. Also, Wendigo shows up, an invisible man swings a mystical sword, there's some dork named Jesse Pinto hanging around and there is a bunch of fun stuff written on the tombstones.
