Ghost Rider, Vol. 5 #14A (Marvel Comics 2007)
Ghost Rider, Vol. 5 #14A launches the six-part REVELATIONS saga, establishing the final showdown between Johnny Blaze’s Spirit of Vengeance and Lucifer himself. Published by Marvel Comics in 2007, this 14A variant opens with the narrative fully ignited, crediting writer Daniel Way and interior artists Javier Saltares and Mark Teixeir, with cover artwork by Mark Teixeir.
Narrative Focus & Continuity Placement
The issue captures Johnny regaining control of the Ghost Rider persona after recent instability, pushing him forward to confront Lucifer directly. Heavenly authorities immediately contest the assignment, refusing to let an ex-carnival performer dictate the fate of both mortal and immortal realms. Daniel Way frames this ideological clash as the foundation for the series climax, while Javier Saltares and Mark Teixeir handle the character rendering and environmental pacing.
