More “Nightbreed” comics.“Hellraiser-Nightbreed: Jihad”.
Both “Nightbreed” and “Hellraiser” were given comic series by Marvel’s Epic Comics imprint. Epic was an attempt to compete with the likes of Dark Horse Comics with more adult themed comics including creator owned projects and film adaptations.
Since Epic had two great Clive Barker creations, they made the epic decision to cross them over. The result is an awesome confrontation between the Tribes of the Moon and the Cenobites.
In the story, The Cenobites were a driving force for pushing the Nightbreed into hiding. Since the Cenobites want to impose their idea of order on a chaotic universe, the Nightbreed’s uniqueness made them targets. Pinhead and a force of Cenobites have decided to finished the job the humans started and destroy the Nightbreed. It also brings into conflict Baphomet, the pagan god of the Nightbreed and Leviathan, the lord of the Labyrinth and god of the Cenobites, possibly the Devil himself.
It makes for a great horror crossover.If you can, track it down and read it. It is very well written, the art is beautiful, and along with the other “Nightbreed” comics it is the closes we will get to a sequel to the film. It comes in two books.
