In that corner, weighing in at over three billion,

a beacon of enlightenment for the One Tru Faith
is opposed by a cenobite who means to turn his
crusade into a modern day Inquisition
Round Two: a clincally minded aids researcher
desperately in need of motivation in her work
finds commitment, courtesy of Hell's favorite son.
Round Three: a boxer in search of the ultimate
physical challenge dare's hell's greatest

with stakes greater than he ever intended
There's the bell. Let's get ready to rumble.

The first story - One True Faith is rather interesting and may even have been great if it wasn't for Joe Barruso's hideous art - which makes it somewhat confusing to follow. Still I love the idea of a real priest serving Leviathan rather than God.
The sweet science isn't much of a hellraiser story - it's about a boxer seeking the ultimate challenge - however Mike Zeck and Phil Zimelman's art is really punchy and the highlight of this volume - plus I love the idea of a lament configuration boxing ring.
The last story Commitment continues the Devil's brigade arc - following AIDS research scientist Dr. Casey Gioeli. Now I loathe artist Mike McMahon's art at the best of times - his lurid colour blocky cubist style does absolutely nothing for me - It's certainly arresting but honestly - ugh. Not sure how I feel about pinhead having sex either - and certainly not as the sub!!! This just feels wrong on so many levels.
While I feel that the content of the stories in this volume are a vast improvement on volumes 8 and 9 - the artwork still isn't impressing me - there are a couple of nice interior illustrations, and I do like the nice foil cover, but overall still disappointed.

Those hellraiser comics after the first three issues are all worthless! I am at issue 10 right now in hope of something good to come up but no chance, most of the times the stories are not even horror related or gory, they are irrelevant with the main lore Clive Barker created and from the many references to Leviathan it's obvious that none of the writers ever read hellbound heart, everybody who is involved on this have watched only the movies!
Also the artwork in most issues is atrocious and ruins any horror mood by looking very amateurish and hasty, and what's with all those mistakes the editor talks about in the introductions! He always does a mistake about someone's name or title in one issue and then he tries to rectify it on the next!
I guess the editing and production's team idea of a hellraiser comic was indeed to torture the reader himself and they did a very good job on that I must say!
That comic is a quick cash in based on the popularity of the movies and nothing more.
