Ghost Rider (2011 series) #2

Mephisto plays the dutiful host for Johnny Blaze in Hell until Blaze grows disgusted with his smarmy manner and punches him. The Servitor picks up Johnny who shouts that Mephisto can never persuade him to become Ghost Rider again. Mephisto agrees, then sheepishly asks Johnny for help. Johnny bursts out laughing. Mephisto shows him the Serpent, explaining how his arrival has compelled Adam to begin his dark plan but the discovery that the Serpent is aware of them causes them to retreat and start over. Mephisto shows Johnny a vision of Adam’s future followers, claiming that taking sin away from mankind will remove everything that makes humanity worthwhile. Johnny knows that without sin, Mephisto has nothing to feed on and is trying to trick Johnny into stopping Adam. But Mephisto wants Johnny to stop the new Ghost Rider, a young woman indoctrinated and sheltered, never going outside and turned into Adam’s weapon….

Alejandra returns to the temple and Adam shows her off as a success, victorious over sin—though Alejandra herself is most excited about going outside for the first time. Adam then commands her to judge her fellow students for their sins. Seeker tries to interfere so Adam has him machine-gunned by his followers. Ghost Rider examines her comrades, tries to resist; Adam slaps her and she knocks him down. Angered, he grabs her by the skull, inflicting severe pain and bringing her under his control….

Outside in the jungle, Johnny Blaze has been deposited with his motorcycle. He rides out of the woods and discovers the temple. He crashes through the temple, shooting Adam down. Seeker joins him, wanting to get Alejandra out of there. Then Mephisto’s Servitor crashes through the wall and GR unleashes a swarm of locusts from her moth that consumes the Servitor. Johnny offers to rescue her but she clobbers him and announces she will wipe out all sin, starting with his, as she holds her scythe to his throat….
