BOOM! Studios will release five one-shots set in Clive Barker’s twisted world of Hellraiser: Resurrections. Starring five top-notch creative teams, a new book drops each week of September, setting up the debut of two new Hellraiser titles next year.
“I grew up on HELLRAISER. I’ve always wanted to know more about the Cenobites—each with a super distinct look—evoking so much pain and suffering,” said Andy Schmidt, Editor-in-Chief at BOOM! “These one-shots are your deep-dive into the original four while also setting up so much more. These comics will be legendary… even in hell.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to bring HELLRAISER comics back to shops,” said Josh Hayes, VP, Imprint Sales Director, BOOM!, BOOM! Box, Inklore, and Special Projects. “Each creative team balances HELLRAISER lore with contemporary horrors, and these stories are perfect for longtime fans and new readers.”
Check out details here:
In HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – NEW WOUNDS #1, writer Mike Costa and artist Paco Camallonga draw readers into the hedonistic world of HELLRAISER when an investigation into the mysterious Puzzle Box goes sideways, and the gateways to Hell open anew. From the darkest corners of Rio de Janeiro’s criminals to the underbelly of the untouchable elites in Europe, this Alpha issue twists and turns its way through a story that teases and delights right up to its surprising finish.
Then, in HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE ONANISTIC RITUAL #1, witness the rebirth of one of the most popular Cenobites in this transformative one-shot from writer Zac Thompson and artist Gavin Mitchell, and fear the chattering of his grotesque grin! Meet Mark, the young man obsessed with looksmaxxing, a toxic practice to become the ultimate alpha male in today’s world. When he watches a vintage snuff film seemingly showing The Chatterer’s violent creation, Mark becomes obsessed with summoning The Chatterer as an avenging demon against those he feels wronged him.
In HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE DEEP GOSPEL #1, writer Tini Howard and artist Jenna Cha revive the classic Cenobite, embarking her on a new path that leads to a collision course with her old demonic order. The Female Cenobite was dead. Or close to it…until the Engineer found her. He thought he was remaking her for his purposes, but she has ideas of her own.
Then, in HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – HELL’S COUNCIL #1, the horrors come fast and hard as writer Nero Villagallos O’Reilly and artist Francesca Ciregia weave a terror tale that revisits the classic Cenobite and fills in the gaps between Hellbound and now. We saw the fall of Butterball at the end of Hellbound: Hellraiser II. Now we’ll witness his rise as the wounded Cenobite is taken in by a mysterious do-gooder who slowly nurses him back to health, all while worming her way into his brain…and maybe even his heart?
To close out the month, HELLRAISER: RESURRECTIONS – THE RETURN OF THE PRIEST #1 explores the ecstatic depths of sensation with award-winning writer Sarah Gailey and artist Alessio Avallone. He’s lived so many lives. He’s died so many deaths. Does it ever end? Is there peace or only endless war? He’s lived with so many names—The Hell Priest, The Acolyte, The Cold Man, and the one that has always plagued him—Pinhead.
Each one-shot is available at your local comic shop. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including iBooks, Google Play, and Kindle.
Fans can also preorder a collected edition, on shelves in April 2027, which will include Hellraiser: Resurrections – New Wounds #1, Hellraiser: Resurrections – The Onanistic Ritual #1, Hellraiser: Resurrections – The Deep Gospel #1, Hellraiser: Resurrections – Hell’s Council #1, and Hellraiser: Resurrections – The Return of the Priest #1.
