Danny Ketch and Johnny Blaze are the Spirits of Vengeance! The scorching-hot ’90s adventures of the Ghost Rider continue, featuring Johnny Blaze and the rise of Marvel’s Midnight Sons! Morbius, Blade, the Nightstalkers and the Darkhold Redeemers join the fight against Lilith, Mother of Demons, and her horrifying progeny! And Ghost Rider battles the alien Brood alongside the X-Men; is made to know fear alongside Captain America, courtesy of the sinister Scarecrow; and shares a hellish team-up with Spider-Man — confronting Venom, the Demogoblin and more!
