Last year in the pages of his terrifying run of INCREDIBLE HULK, writer Philip Kennedy Johnson introduced Sergeant Sal Romero, aka GHOST RIDER ’44, a spirit of vengeance who raised hell on the battlefields during World War II. This December, his epic story is told in HELLHUNTERS, a five-issue limited series written by Kennedy Johnson and drawn by Adam Gorham (IMMORTAL HULK, STAR WARS: DARTH VADER). In the present day, Ghost Rider ’44 can only revive “when the monsters come.” During World War II, there were a lot of them—including Felix Bruckner, a Nazi officer who underwent his own mysterious transformation. When Bruckner’s demonic army begins its march, Sal will be forced to embrace his supernatural new gifts to turn the tide of all-out war. Some of Marvel’s most badass heroes fought on the frontlines of WWII and HELLHUNTERS will see Ghost Rider ’44 battle alongside the likes of Wolverine, Nick Fury, Peggy Carter, Bucky Barnes and the Pages from Jason Aaron’s Avengers, Soldier Supreme. |
