'Ghost Rider', 'Black Panther' cancelled by Marvel

Marvel Comics has cancelled Ghost Rider and Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive.

Rob Williams's newly-relaunched Ghost Rider series will draw to an abrupt end, reports Comic Book Resources.

Marvel's February solicitations also reveal that David Liss's Black Panther title will conclude with issue #529.

Williams confirmed the Ghost Rider cancellation on Twitter.

"Sorry to confirm the news about Ghost Rider's cancellation. It's disappointing," he wrote. "Thanks to everyone who bought the book."

The new female Ghost Rider's title was introduced during the 'Fear Itself' event earlier in the year.

It is not clear whether Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive - which replaced the Daredevil title after 'Shadowland' - has been cancelled or reached its planned end.

Robot 6 reports low sales on the Black Panther series.

The titles join a growing number of recent cancellations, including X-23, Alpha Flight, Victor Von Doom and Destroyers, the latter two of which were announced and then axed before their debut.
