How did Johnny Blaze end up in Hell, anyway? It’s simple, really: He died. And when he died, his eternal soul – long promised to Hell in exchange for “saving” Crash Simpson – descended into the Pit, taking the Ghost Rider along with it. This is the story of how and why it all happened, courtesy of writer Daniel Way and horror-comic legend Richard Corben. Plus: In a small town northeast of Chicago, people are losing their heads… literally. The sheriff of this sleepy little town firmly believes he’s found the culprit – a scruffy drifter found sleeping in the bushes with blood on his clothes and no believable explanation for where he was and what he was doing when the murders occurred. He even gave the sheriff a fake name: “Johnny Blaze.” But the identity of the true culprit is even more macabre: Lucifer has taken up residence in a new host – a casualty of Civil War who’s bound to raise eyebrows!

Story/Spoilers
In part #1, How did Johnny Blaze end up in Hell, anyway? It’s simple, really: He died. And when he died, his eternal soul – long promised to Hell in exchange for “saving” Crash Simpson – descended into the Pit, taking the Ghost Rider along with it.

Next in part #2, Meanwhile, in the present, Ghost Rider knows what needs to be done. The problem is that there’s something-someone-holding him back…and it’s not Lucifer. It’s Johnny Blaze. Will Johnny step aside and let Ghost Rider loose to do what he’s meant to do? And should he? After all, it didn’t do him any good in the past-as a matter of fact it’s what damned him to Hell…both when he first summoned the Ghost Rider and then again, years later, on the day Johnny Blaze died.

Next in part #3, In a small town northeast of Chicago, people are losing their heads…literally. The sheriff of this sleepy little town firmly believes he’s found the culprit-a scruffy drifter found sleeping in the bushes with blood on his clothes and no believable explanation for where he was and what he was doing when the murders occurred. He even gave the sheriff a fake name: ‘Johnny Blaze.’ But the identity of the true culprit is even more macabre: Lucifer has taken up residence in a new host – a casualty of CIVIL WAR who’s bound to raise eyebrows!

Next in part #4, Ghost Rider, a militant, gun-toting sheriff and a possessed-by-Lucifer Jack O’Lantern. Mix them all up, shake…and stand back. It’s bad vs. evil vs. crazy in a free-for-all that will leave the town of Sleepy Hollow forever changed – if it leaves it standing at all.

Next in part #5, A dead super villain possessed by the Prince of Lies. A survivalist cop with an arsenal of weaponry. And now, an army of flesh-eating zombies poised to destroy everything in their path. There are times that being the Spirit of Vengeance is a real pain in the bike seat. But it turns out that Ghost Rider has one advantage that no one else can claim in the town of Sleepy Hollow, IL: he doesn’t have any flesh to get chewed off.

Finally in part #6, It’s pumpkin smashing time, and the Ghost Rider’s ready to get his boots dirty. But with a zombie army in tow and an arsenal of concealed weapons, the possessed Jack O’Lantern appears to be holding all the cards in his deadly game with the Ghost Rider. To prevent the destruction of Sleepy Hollow, the Spirit of Vengeance will need a little help from an unlikely ally who may be able to turn the tables on Jack’s fun.
