Mephisto is the main Super Villain or the Big Bad he is a Devil and a Hell Lord. Mephisto kills Johnny Blaze, Johnny is seen falling and drops in Hell along with Zarathos the demon.
Johnny is separated from Zarathos, and Hell is the name of Mephisto’s dimension.
The first zone of Hell is persons hurting other persons, the persons won’t die but will still feel the physical pain . The rules are everyone suffers, and only 1 way to stop hurting is to hurt someone else it is a endless cycle of violence. It’s not a Paradox Hell would have these rules since
Johnny Blaze grabs a Hellfire weapon and hits persons knocking them down. Zarathos easily used his Chain surrounding it with hellfire, and easily knocks down other persons.
They walk to another area of Hell.
Johnny is able to persuade Zarathos to help him instead of remain in the first zone or circle of Hell.Zarathos declines merging because he wants to see Johnny prove himself by defeating the Worst sinner which after getting punched multiple times happens because Johnny stops a punch and break’s the Sinner’s wrist, and Zarathos is shown eating the sin which mostly resembles Witches in Hocus Pocus sucking the life-force out of a human.
The Rose, Jack O’Lantern, and other Super Villains are shown in a lounge drinking some kind of alcohol. They are afforded certain luxuries because of who they were on Earth. It was surprising seeing something ordinary in Hell which is Super Villains in a lounge drinking alcohol, and does answer the question of where are certain dead Super Villains.
All but 1 Super Villain decline to help Johnny take over Hell because if he failed they would lose their luxuries so can’t blame them for declining.
Between the Bar and Mephisto’s Castle is 7 circles each is worse than the last, and the 7th Circle is stalked by a Giant Monster that is Typhaon also several Cerberus. The Rose decides to draw a map for Johnny to give him an advantage.
The writer must be inspired by Mad Max Fury Road because Johnny and Zarathos both riding Motorcycles on a road with Sinners in vehicles that look like something from Mad Max also they have weapons moving toward Johnny and Zarathos. A unique excellent attack Zarathos lights his chain with hellfire connects it to his Motorcycle and Johnny’s Motorcycle both moving far apart to spread the flaming chain that wrecks all 3 vehicles. Johnny and Zarathos both use a chain that have a hook that hooks to the front of cars lights up both chains and flips the cars over.
The Motorcycles are side by side Zarathos lights both the front tires with Hellfire, both are shown driving so damn fast that hellfire is shown on the road and they drive through the middle of Cars easily which is astounding.
The Typhaon must have shapeshifting powers because it changes it’s body to a Giant Long Vehicle with big red headlights, and a open mouth. Zarathos and Johnny shoot flying demons using guns that has hellfire ammo while being chased by the Typhaon. It was terrific and exciting seeing Johnny jump off his Motorcycle merging with Zarathos. Ghost Rider is able to wrap his chain around the legs of a flying demon to move away from the close Typhaon. Ghost Rider hanging on the back of the Giant Elephant Man expands The Hellfire to cover both him and the Giant Elephant Man , The Giant Elephant Man runs through the Typhaon that creates a explosion defeating the Giant Monster.
The Giant Elephant Man fights multiple Cerberus which is why Ghost Rider is able to break doors by kicking the doors so he can walk inside Mephisto’s Castle, walks up stairs, and on the other side of the door is whatever you fear most. Johnny opens the door, walks to curtains changes to Ghost Rider scorching curtains, walks to the King of Hell Chair, and sits down on the King of Hell Chair with a Crown shown on Ghost Rider’s head showing he’s become the new King of Hell.
What Johnny fears the most is having to work with a Legion of Demons, Sinners, and Hellions instead of fighting and punishing them . There are things which are worse than death and 1 is Ghost Rider is now King of Hell, and rules over Sinners, Demons and Hellions.
Johnny’s worst fear or what he fears most has become true.
A Legion of Demons is shown walking toward the Ghost Rider, and a Demon bows before Ghost Rider telling all of this as in Hell is yours now, and asks for orders.
A great cliffhanger can’t wait to read issue 2. Mephisto is currently on Earth and he created Hotel Inferno in Las Vegas where he began collecting Souls that has expanded Hell’s Dominion.
