Ghost Rider's Penance Stare is one of the most powerful weapons in his arsenal, but there are a few characters who aren't affected.
Comics Should Be Good (CSBG) is a series of recurring features by Brian Cronin about comic books that originated as a blog that originally launched in 2004 and was then hosted on CBR from 2006-2016 before merging into the larger site as a whole in 2016. The features generally spotlight comic book history, both features on the behind-the-scenes aspects of comic books and the creators behind them, as well as in-depth looks at the comic book universes themselves, especially stories involving comic book continuity. Some of the most popular recurring features include: *Comic Book Legends Revealed - A look at unbelievable true stories about the world of comic books, as well as some believable false ones that we debunk. *The Line it is Drawn - A weekly collection of comic book art based on suggestions from readers on social media to different prompts each week. *Top 100 Comic Book Runs/Top 100 Comic Book Storylines/Top 100 Writers and Artists/Top 100 DC and Marvel Characters - Every year, we do one of four rotating reader polls listing fan favorites in different categories, like top comic book runs or top writers and artists. *When We First Met - A spotlight of the first appearances of the various characters, phrases, objects or events that eventually became notable parts of comic lore. *Abandoned an' Forsaked - An examination of comic book stories and ideas that were not only abandoned, but also had the stories/plots specifically "overturned" by a later writer (as if they were a legal precedent). *Drawing Crazy Patterns - A spotlight on at least five scenes/moments from within comic book stories that fit under a specific recurring theme (like "Five times Superman happened to meet somebody who looks exactly like him"). *I Love Ya But You're Strange - A celebration of bizarrely wonderful comic book stories. *Remember to Forget - A spotlight on comic book stories that we wished we could forget, but since we can't, we at least force others to share in our pain.
