It can be deadly just to cross paths with Pinhead, but to attack the notorious Cenobite and pry the pins from his flesh? Many would consider that to be suicide. But poachers have done just that in Hellraiser: Bestiary, a comic book miniseries from BOOM! Studios. The fifth issue hits shelves this Wednesday and sees Pinhead gaining some assistance against his assailants, and we have a set of preview pages that tease what's ahead.

“Over the past three years, Clive Barker has re-imagined the HELLRAISER mythos as only he could, building a long-form narrative that became one of the best-received horror comics in recent memory. Now, the Master of Horror takes us into his Bestiary for an anthology series—free of continuity, but full of shocking consequences.

Step into the Bestiary for all-new tales of the LeMarchand Device and its guardians!”

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Bestiary #5 (of 6)
