Talia's mysterious, messy past revealed! Johnny Blaze has been traveling with the brilliant hedge witch Talia Warroad - but how well does he really know her? He's about to find out! Talia's past, her furious first spells and more are all about to be come to light. How was her life set on a collision course with the Spirit of Vengeance? What happens when the Cult of Mephisto wants a piece of Talia's magical gifts? And what will they do when they find out the Ghost Rider is her partner? As our duo hit the road in pursuit of the cult, they discover a town emptied of adults - and must solve the mystery of the children left behind and how it connects to Talia's own childhood! Collecting GHOST RIDER (2022) #18-19, #20 (A STORY) and #21; and GHOST RIDER ANNUAL (2023) #1.
Acclaimed author and screenwriter Benjamin Percy broke into comics in 2014 with a two-issue Batman story arc for Detective Comics. He is also known for his work on Nightwing, Green Arrow and Teen Titans for DC Comics, and James Bond: Black Box for Dynamite Entertainment. Percy has written two seasons of Marvel’s Wolverine podcast series: Wolverine: The Long Night, which was listed as one of the top fifteen podcasts of the year by Apple and won the iHeart Radio Award for best scripted podcast in 2018, and Wolverine: The Lost Trail. In print, he is a key contributor to Jonathan Hickman’s Dawn of X initiative as writer of X-Force and Wolverine. Percy blazed a new trail for the Spirit of Vengeance with his deliciously dark revival of Ghost Rider.

Cory Smith is forging a reputation as a Marvel mainstay on high-profile books such as Avengers, Conan the Barbarian and Guardians of the Galaxy. After stints on titles Weapon H and Nova, as well as one-shots featuring the heroes of the Star Wars “Age of Republic,” Smith joined writer Benjamin Percy on a deliciously dark relaunch of Ghost Rider.
