At the end of May, we saw the release of Next Testament #1, the first original comic book series created and written by Clive Barker. Issue #2 came out today and we'll have preview pages to share with Daily Dead readers shortly, but we wanted to give Daily Dead readers a look at what Clive Barker has in store for the series later this year with our exclusive cover reveal for Next Testament #6:
"...BOOM! Studios is honored to be the home of the first original comic series created and written by Clive Barker himself – CLIVE BARKER’S NEXT TESTAMENT. With interior art by Haemi Jang (HELLRAISER: THE ROAD BELOW) and covers by illustrator Goni Montes, the twelve issue comic event is a bold new exploration of religious themes as only Barker can deliver.
Julian Demond, captain of industry, has left behind everything to begin a walkabout — he believes he’s on a mission from God. While in the wasteland, he comes across a figure unlike any other, who calls himself Wick…and claims to be God. Their journey will span the globe, as neither man merely wants to make a mark on the world, but a scar. Created by Clive Barker as original comic book concept and co-written by Barker with HELLRAISER writing partner Mark Miller, CLIVE BARKER’S NEXT TESTAMENT marks the first time the master of horror has created and written an original comic book series."
