The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of HELLRAISER #10 from BOOM Studios. Clive Barker writes with Robb Humphreys and Mark Miller,
Stephen Thompson and Janusz Ordon pencil, Space Goat Productions colors, and Travis
Lanham letters.
This issue contains two storylines, one with some exposition
from the new Pinhead, and the other shows us the problems being faced by her
predecessor. The new Pinhead has brought a friend to Hell, presumably to help
her with a problem. The ‘retired’ guy, however, is having problems with his
memory loss.
I see some good storytelling potential here. We get enough
sense of character from the new Pinhead to really open up the gates. And the
idea of there being a surviving former Pinhead is just really cool in my
opinion; how can someone return to a ‘normal’ life after seeing and doing what
he has? The art works very well, too. It’s detailed enough to show emotion, and
the representation of gore is clear enough to be gruesome.
Overall I like this book. I’m a fan of the psychological
stuff, and there’s great potential for some excitement and pain here.
HELLRAISER #10 is available now at your FLCS or by order
from boom-studios.com.
