 Marvel's comic takes a wrong turn in Sony Pictures' big budget transition to the silver screen.
Readers of the Ghost Rider comic series are familiar with the storyline. The title character is a motorcycle rider given supernatural powers by a demon to do his dirty work. The original comic anti-hero was Johnny Blaze, a young motorcycle stuntman with a travelling carnival. Like most comics-turned-movies, the updated flim version quickly distances itself from the original printed storyline.
