Here we see Chatterer, a Cenobite.
Mark is now a man—and he has a lot of problems. He is not all there in the head. He sees the world one way: his way. Mark is shown almost fully naked and engaged in sexual activities. Chatterer visits Mark, and what you expect happens.
What is the storyline here? Mark is unhinged, and Chatterer is a demon ready to act. Other than Mark, no one is given focus, and he comes across as a pathetic wimp. He is sex-starved for companionship he will never get. You will feel both sorry for him and hatred for the way he acts.
The Cenobites needed to be featured more. When they do appear, they inspire a dark fear—but the full terror of just how evil these beings are is not fully brought out in these pages.
Having a human as the main character in a Hellraiser comic needs to be handled better. You would expect a Cenobite to take center stage.
