Hellraiser: Resurrections - The Onanistic Ritual #1

When you hear the chattering, you know death has come calling...

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 Chatterer bares his teeth for a brand new mission. His goal? To reclaim his rightful place as the right hand of the Hell Priest himself!

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.

But we all know the thing about deals with the devil...

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!
