But now he finally knows who's responsible for turning him into a flaming-skulled horror show—and he's out for vengeance! But when fellow Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch returns, whose side is he on? What familiar faces has Ketch brought to the party? And who's about to get shot in the head with a hellfire shotgun? Plus: Meet the mysterious Mister Eleven—he might be an angel, a demon or something else entirely! And what secrets lie within the town of Mercy, Idaho? Grab your helmet; it's gonna be one hell of a ride!

MARVEL ZOMBIES

Collects MARVEL ZOMBIES (2005) #1-5.

It first came from the skies—a horrific phenomenon that turned nearly every man, woman and child on Earth into undead zombies. Even Marvel's greatest heroes—including Captain America, Spider-Man and the Hulk—have succumbed, driven only by one mindless goal: to feed on human flesh. But with only a small number of survivors remaining against this unstoppable tide of hunger, what happens when the zombie's finally run out of humans to eat?! Writer Robert Kirkman, known for his best-selling horror series The Walking Dead, crafts a shocking, spellbinding tale of a Marvel Universe infected by a worldwide zombie apocalypse. Veteran artist Sean Phillips fleshes out Kirkman's tale, ably transforming once-familiar Marvel heroes into disturbing visions of decaying flesh and rotting bones.

WEREWOLF BY NIGHT: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION VOL. 1

Collects MARVEL SPOTLIGHT (1971) #2-4, WEREWOLF BY NIGHT (1972) #1-15, MARVEL TEAM-UP (1972) #12 and TOMB OF DRACULA (1972) #18.

Jack Russell stars in tales to make you howl, as Marvel's very own Werewolf! Learn how Jack became one of the grooviest ghoulies of the seventies in this classic collection of his earliest adventures. Afflicted with his family's curse, Jack's sets out in search for answers. Could they lie in the terrible tome known as the Darkhold? But Jack's quest is fraught with danger—from mad monks to big-game hunters to a traveling freak show! Then there's the terror of Tatterdemalion, the horror of Hangman and the torment of Taboo! But few encounters can compare with Krogg, the lurker from beyond—except, maybe, a Marvel Team-Up with Spider-Man—and a supernatural showdown with Dracula himself!

MAN-THING BY R.L. STINE

Collects MAN-THING (2017) #1-5.

Marvel's melancholy muck-monster as you've never seen him before—courtesy of beloved author R.L. Stine (Goosebumps, Fear Street)! After so many years of somber silence, Man-Thing has found his voice—and taken Hollywood by storm! But when an ancient evil threatens his old swamp stomping ground, Man-Thing will have to choose between his new life and celebrity, and the world he used to call home. An old ally pays a visit, but everything else is out to get Man-Thing—all including crocodiles, bats and mosquitos, oh my! Can the balance of the swamp be restored, or will the cause of this calamity be beyond Man-Thing's control? Plus, bone-chilling bonus horror tales from the master himself, R.L. Stine! Reading this will give you goosebumps... but beware—for whoever knows fear burns at the Man-Thing's touch!

Cover to MAN-THING BY R.L. STINE.
