Ghost Rider / Blaze: Spirits of Vengeance #16
In "Zarathos," the final chapter of the *Ghost Rider / Blaze: Spirits of Vengeance* arc, the fate of the Blaze bloodline hangs in the balance as Zarathos, the demonic entity, overpowers both Ghost Rider and Blaze. With the Caretaker revealing long-hidden truths about their shared heritage, and Lilith’s cryptic claim that she is Zarathos’s mother adding a new layer of mystery, the battle for control of the Medallion of Power reaches its climax. Henry Martinez’s dynamic art, rendered with Keith Williams’s sharp inks and John Kalisz’s vivid colors, brings the supernatural showdown to life, while Malcolm Jones III’s cover captures the intensity of the moment.
