It’s a 🔥 Horse for 2026. Now I get it.
Seen in the finale of What If...? S3, this Ghost Rider variant arrives with a flaming katana & horse—reimagining Robbie Reyes as a samurai of vengeance. No origin story yet, but he's one of the wildest Marvel "what if" moments yet.

I'm glad someone is thinking this far ahead—I'm certainly not—but in 2027 this JA exhibit at MOCA looks like something I'll visit a few times. Very cool.

A generation of Japanese American artists, photographers, and designers whose lives were disrupted by internment.

He's right, and he's also in the Hall of Fame!
As Soundgarden bassist Hiro Yamamoto reminded us:
America locked thousands of its own in camps for looking Japanese. We can do better than that. We have to talk to each other and have those hard dialogs.
