It's a good time for Clive Barker fans. A Blu-ray edition of Nightbreed is in the works, multiple movie projects are moving forward, The Scarlet Gospels will be published in 2015, and we've seen regular comic book releases, including Next Testament. The ninth issue of Clive Barker's first original comic book series will be released next week, but we've been given an exclusive early preview just for Daily Dead readers:
“…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.”
CLIVE BARKER'S NEXT TESTAMENT #9
Synopsis: Wick has his disciples, and rules unopposed -- but Tristan & Elspeth’s actions force the Lord of Colors to reveal what he truly desires.
