The collection includes issues #6-11 of the series.
In "Hell-Bent & Heaven-Bound Part One," Ghost Rider follows a cryptic lead to a hospital where a patient miraculously revived after death might hold answers about his past. When the head nurse blocks his investigation, Ghost Rider takes matters into his own hands—breaking the patient out, only to find the hospital staff now armed and hunting them both. Written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Roland Boschi, with colors by Dan Brown and letters by Joe Caramagna, the issue’s tense, high-stakes chase unfolds under Marko Djurdjević’s intense cover art.
In "Hell-Bent & Heaven-Bound Part One," Blaze seeks answers about his mysterious past by reaching out to a hospital patient miraculously revived after being declared dead—only to be blocked by the head nurse. When Ghost Rider intervenes and frees the patient, the nurses turn violent, chasing them through the hospital with deadly intent.
In "Hell-Bent & Heaven Bound Part Two," Lucas recounts his harrowing time in the afterlife, bound and tormented by the fallen angel Zadkiel, while the living struggle to piece together the truth behind Highway 18. As the nurses press on in their search for Johnny and Lucas, Deputy Kowalski's investigation takes a brutal turn when he loses his hand trying to uncover the road's dark secrets.
In "Hell-Bent & Heaven Bound Part Four," Lucas faces a desperate choice, choosing death over surrender to Zadkiel’s influence. As Blaze departs the city, unseen forces—led by Danny Ketch—continue to stir unrest in Zadkiel’s name.
In "God Don't Live on Cell Block D Part One," Johnny races through the violent heart of a prison where even the inmates are haunted by Zadkiel’s reach, each one a potential threat. With no allies and the walls themselves seeming to close in, he must survive long enough to find the one man who might hold the key—before the prison consumes him.
