Ghost Rider, Vol. 9 #2C (Marvel Comics 2022)

The FBI tracks an unexplained spike in paranormal cases across state lines in Ghost Rider, Vol. 9 #2C, a 2022 Marvel Comics release written by Benjamin Percy and illustrated by Cory Smith. This volume second chapter shifts from isolated encounters to coordinated federal intervention, using a procedural framework to explore the origins of the supernatural threat haunting national roadways.

Story Focus
