Marvel Comics Cancels Spirits Of Violence After Revelation (Spoilers)

Marvel Comics cancels Spirits Of Violence #1 for March 2025, after revealing just who they actually are (Spoilers)

In their March and April 2025 solicits, Marvel Comics listed a new series, Spirits Of Violence by Sabir Pirzada and Paul Davidson, a Ghost Rider spinoff mini-series stating that "Johnny Blaze has been on the trail of a mysterious and dangerous new entity: The Spirit Of Violence with Danny Ketch also getting involved." The solicits are below. But now, two things have happened, and they involve spoilers for today's Spirits Of Vengeance #6 by Sabir Pirzada and Rod Reis.

First, Marvel has cancelled all orders for Spirits Of Violence #1, which was planned for the 5th of March, 2025. Even though at the end of Spirits Of Vengeance #6, it states that the story will be continued in Spirits Of Violence #1 and gives the date as the 5th of March, 2025. How come?

Because as for whom this new Spirit Of Violence is, Spirits Of Vengeance #6 reveals that as well. And it is a familiar name…

Barbara Ketch, sister to Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch, was murdered by Blackout, the Ghost Rider nemesis. Barbara Ketch was destined to be the inheritor of half of her bloodline's piece of the Medallion of Power, so the medallion was transferred to Danny Ketch…

In the new Spirits Of Vengeance series, in the aftermath of Blood Hunt, she has been resurrected by the Spirit of Violence, going after the loved ones of various Spirits of Vengeance to feast on Ghost Rider suffering.

And now revealed as another in the Ketch family tree to be so possessed. But has the new series been fully cancelled? Or just delayed so that it can be resolicited, this time with the headline of Barbara Ketch as the Spirit Of Violence revealed, to maybe get more orders? Spirits Of Vengeance #6 by Sabir Pirzada and Rod Reis is published by Marvel Comics today. The original solicitations run below.
