Hellraiser: Resurrections - The Deep Gospel #1

The Female Cenobite looked up and saw the Engineer. He thought he was remaking her for his purposes, but she has ideas of her own.

A new era of ecstasy and agony begins here for Hellraiser!

The long-awaited return of Hellraiser to comics is finally upon us, starting with Hellraiser: Resurrections, a series of five one-shots setting up the launch of a new Hellraiser ongoing series coming to shelves this winter!

The Female Cenobite was dead. Or close to it...until the Engineer found her. One of his most promising Cenobites—laid low by a human. This would not do. The restoration process would be long and painful—oh so painful. But he would rebuild her stronger than ever before…

But when she rejects the Engineer’s plans for her remaking, she’s cast down into the harrowing Nidus: the place where the larval stage of Cenobites fight to survive. She’s been here before and made it out alive—and she’ll do it again.

Fans of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II will love the revival of the classic Cenobite as told by writer Tini Howard and artist Jenna Cha, as she embarks on a new path—one that leads to a collision course with her old demonic order.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
