Hellhunters

From the pages of INCREDIBLE HULK, breakout character Ghost Rider ’44 fights alongside Marvel’s iconic WWII era heroes!

As U.S. Sergeant Sal Romero is parachuting into Nazi-occupied Europe in 1994, young Nazi officer Felix Bruckner becomes the host for an unspeakable evil. In the aftermath of their violent meeting, Romero is reborn as Ghost Rider ’44, who sets out not only to take revenge on Bruckner and the Nazis, but also to save mankind from annihilation! But he won’t ride alone — because Sergeant Nick Fury, Peggy Carter and Captain America are hunting down the demonic Captain Bruckner by his side! But just wait until they meet a certain Bowie-knife-wielding killing machine calling himself Logan! Yet when these Hellhunters’ methods prove too ruthless for Cap, they accidentally recruit their secret weapon: 15-year-old Bucky Barnes, their most lethal member yet! With the future Winter Soldier on the team and victory in Europe in the balance, will the Hellhunters be enough to face the cosmic Nazi Hellspawn known as Calphael?
