Clive Barker's Nightbreed Genesis by Alan Grant

Decker! Jim Baikie, who has worked with Grant and Wagner on Judge Dredd, provides the art. Wagner is the co-creator of Judge Dredd, but also wrote a graphic novel called A History of Violence, that was adapted into a movie by David Cronenberg, also known as Nightbreed’s Dr. Grant is known for his work on both Batman comics, and Judge Dredd. Alan Grant and John Wagner are credited as the writers. This also gives me a good idea of what to expect in the Cabal Cut. So what we have then is a fairly good idea of what Clive’s vision for the movie had always been. These four issues were being produced at the same time as the movie, therefore, changes that were made that ultimately resulted in the Theatrical Release, were not mirrored in the comic.

It was based on Clive Barker’s original screenplay. In fact the first four issues are an adaptation of the movie…kinda. That being said, Welcome to my retro review of the first Issue of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed! For those who don’t know, The company that brought you The Hellraiser series, Epic Comics, saw the potential of a Nightbreed comic early on. Therefore, I am not positive as to what all is in the Cabal Cut, with the exception of what the guys have talked about on the Podcast. I have yet to see the Cabal Cut of Nightbreed. I am going to start this week’s post with a disclaimer.
