We strongly recommend all comic geeks, horror fans, general people who are interested in getting into comics, and of course fans of the films to pick the issue up. Its the perfect starting point for anyone looking for a new series to dive into and the comic book series will directly continue from where the films left off courtesy of Clive Barker. Fans of the films wont be disappointed! Read Full Review
Along with Freddy Kruger and Jason Vorhees, Pinhead is one of the most influential monsters birthed in the last 30 years. Where the sequels have squandered the inherent terror of the Hellraiser franchise, your comics shop is ready to reintroduce you to the revitalized horror contained within these pages. Top quality horror comics are almost as rare as new product offerings from Barker. Combine the excellence of this book along with Barker's undeniable pedigree, and Hellraiser #1 earns 4.5 out of 5 Stars. Read Full Review
Some readers -- even some die-hard horror fans -- will never be interested in Hellraiser or Clive Barker's twisted vision. For those who can stomach it -- or even appreciate it -- Hellraiser #1 is a worthy reintroduction to the series. Read Full Review
I feel that Barker has been underrated as a writer, which is a damn shame, as he is great. I can still remember a short story of his I read fifteen years ago that still resonates with me, and few horror stories have that kind of staying power. Hellraiser fans should definitely pick this up and give it a look, but the art is a bit more impressive than the story, although Im curious to see if they can pull off what Pinhead plans, and how. Its either going to be brilliant or a disaster. Who wants to find out with me? Read Full Review
"Hellraiser" is back, and while it might not tear your soul apart it will give it a solid needling and a nookie to grow on. Its not a bad comic, but most of it does feel like more of the same. Considering the mountain of sequel dreck fans have forced themselves through, something a little more should have been offered. The daughter angle feels too obvious, but Pinheads journey may just save this comic. Only time will tell. I think Pinhead should garner at least a few more issues to prove to people what hes up to. Its not often a slasher gets the opportunity to experience character development and growth. Read Full Review
