Having experienced all there is in his role as lead Cenobite, Pinhead now yearns for salvation from the monotony of his torturous duties and he sees hope in the actions of one girl, the ‘one that always got away’. The series follows on from some time after the little known sequel Hellraiser: Hellseeker or Hellraiser 6 for those who are keeping track (you can be forgiven for not watching it as even though it was released in 2002 it still hasn’t reached British shores, and frankly they needn’t rush).

This is the first time since the first Hellraiser film that Clive has got his hands dirty on the franchise and seeing as he is (allegedly) overlooking the entire project he’s not likely to get them burnt THIS time. The new series of Hellraiser comics are written by Clive Barker and Christopher Monfette. With that said seeing as I’m reviewing the second volume of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser trade paperback by BOOM! Studios I have to try really hard to prove to you that I’m not being biased. I don’t believe you have to show how much you’ve spent on merchandise or how many editions of the VHS you own, nor do you need to own any of the original floorboards from the set, but if I had to prove it I’d have a mountain of evidence to back my claim. Trade Paperback released on January 11th, 2012īefore I go into this I should point out that I am probably one of the biggest Hellraiser fans in the world.
