But Hellraiser is more than just a horror comic. And if you like that sort of stuff, you’re certainly going to enjoy the book. Limbs are torn apart, flesh is peeled from bone – it’s pretty much what you come to expect from the Hellraiser mythos. All he needs to do is find someone to take his place.īarker, Monfette and artists Leonardo Manco and Stephen Thompson pull no punches with this latest incarnation of the bloody franchise. In the meantime, Pinhead has grown tired of his role as the priest of hell and is looking to restore his own humanity. Having suffered at the hands of Pinhead and company, Kirsty is in full on vengeance mode in the comic, looking to destroy any and all devices that humans can use to summon Cenobites to Earth. The current Hellraiser comic book is a de facto sequel to the first two (and arguably) best movies in the entire series, with the familiar character of Kirsty Cotton playing a pivotal role alongside everybody’s favourite Cenobite. If there was any reason you might have been waiting on catching up on the new exploits of Pinhead, I’d say this collection is the perfect time to start reading. Today sees the release of the first four issues (along with issue 0) of the series in trade paperback. At the time, I was impressed with where the series was starting from and where it could be heading (check out the review here). A few months back I reviewed the first issue of the new Hellraiser series from BOOM! Studios, written by the one and only Clive Barker (with help from Christopher Monfette).
