Nothing is as simple as it seems – the old ways have been destroyed and a dangerous new world lies in its wake. Where are Elliott Spencer and Kirsty Cotton? Who will rule and who will serve? Rising star Brandon Seifert (WITCH DOCTOR, HELLRAISER: THE ROAD BELOW) joins forces with the legendary Clive Barker, with art by Tom Garcia, to begin this amazing new chapter in the history of one of horror’s greatest franchises.”

Hellraiser: The Dark Watch #3: "THE NEW RULER OF HELL REVEALED! One must volunteer, or Hell will choose for itself. The two most recent Hell Priests are missing -- Kirsty Cotton and Elliott Spencer have abdicated their thrones, and there is someone new in their place. Did this new leader choose the role? How will Leviathan respond? Clive Barker, Brandon Seifert, and Tom Garcia continue to usher in the next chapter of HELLRAISER!"
