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

Acquire the exclusive Peach Momoko variant cover for Ghost Rider Volume 9, Issue 9C, a standalone 28-page instalment that documents a definitive split between Johnny Blaze and his inner demon.

Written by Benjamin Percy and drawn by Cory Smith, the issue centers on the emergence of EXHAUST—a fully sentient offshoot of the demonic tumor that once fused with the Rider. With the parasite separated but intact, EXHAUST operates as an independent entity reflecting both Johnny’s nature and his motorcycle’s history. Traveling with Talia Warroad to Chicago’s historic slaughterhouse districts, the duo investigates the financial and occult infrastructure behind the Shadow Country conspiracy. As their research breaches local syndicate lines, EXHAUST and the dark manifestations he commands pursue them, culminating in a confrontation that redefines the spiritual stakes for the entire ongoing run.
