The Damned Rogue
Written by Gavin "xt4" Art by Berty-J-A Cover by Berty-J-A Pin-Up by Berty-J-A Online Version: http://www.cenobite.com/hellbound/hbc006/hbc006cover.htm Archive with PDF Version: http://www.cenobite.com/hellbound/archive.htm Rate and discuss the sixth issue of the Hellbound Chronicles. We'd love for you to leave feedback,not just a vote, let us know what you want to see, where you want the series to go, where you think the art and writing can improve. I think Berty's art is what makes this issue for me. It's a very simple story (but with plenty of room for further development  ) but he gives it a dynamic edge and the art suits this style of tale perfectly to my mind. I'm glad we finally have got this script made, and I enjoy how it tries to do new and different things within the mythology.- Scarecrow -------------------- "Liberate tutemet ex inferis"
"We've so many things to show you, Alma. So many wonderous sights for you to see. I almost envy you. Hell has so many wonders for its newcomers..." - Pinhead "To be able to fly? To be smoke, or a wolf... to know the night, and live in it forever? That's not so bad. You call us monsters. But when you dream it's of flying, and changing, and living without death." "That's about when I lost faith in Jesus... when I realized the only bits that worked for me were the p*rn" |

Read it. Loved it!
 Really, this was great. I enjoyed the story and especially the reveal that the girl had once been a Cenobite. I had expected her to be a victim, but that was brilliant. Her thoughts to herself about trying to be normal and to fit is such a normal thing anyway for a teenager anyway that it mirrored the situation nicely. Love the art!! Had a feel of modern woodcuts to me and had a nice sense of speed to it. I liked the use of a limited, three colour pallete too. Yes, very nice all round. Well done!

Great stuff! "Excellent" is my vote.

good story, i like it a lot. could have been much longer for me, this one was strong enough to be a published graphic novel.
the artwork, even tho i liked it a lot, i feel it didn't suit the story. it was too 'phresh'. do you get me? too tattoo/graffiti art. don't get me wrong, it was fantastic artwork, very well drawn and amazing results. But i would have liked a darker, more gloomy artstyle for this story. i sound like i dont like it, i LOVE it, please try to understand this. its hard to explain in text on a forum, without sounding critical. --------------------  |

Nice work, I really enjoyed the art style. I dig that sort of thick lined, cartoony stuff.

yeah i do too, i really like it. and i still don't know how to explain my previous post. i DO love the artstyle a great deal, this is fantastically drawn, i just think that a darker, more graphic style would have suited the story perhaps?

I liked it, really unspected style for a Hellraiser comic, but I like the result.
I think the variety of styles makes this project richier in art (and the stories are excellent too). An ex-cenobite? haha good take on the myths. DÆMON |

That's fair enough, I understand. Personally, i think the more action-based aspects worked to the style, i thought it really gave the comic an energy it might noit otherwise have had.  - Scarecrow -------------------- "Liberate tutemet ex inferis"

I really enjoyed both the story and the artwork was awesome, although I would have liked to have seen more flashback scenes from the time she was a cenobite...after the "Big Reveal" of course.
I really hope to see more by both artist and writer in the future.

An escaped Cenobite doing the Harrowers job? Love it!
And the artist seems to be a little inspired by Mike Mignola

I really liked this one. It is a bit strange for me because action really isn't my thing. I don't know, I guess I was just fascinated by her. She had kind of a cute face and hair style. I would be very interested in finding out more about her history as a cenobite.

And I'm glad its got your interest as I will say, this is not the last we'll see of Lisa/Hush. - Scarecrow -------------------- "Liberate tutemet ex inferis"

After reading through Bindings I was compelled to read this story again. I just had a thought about the first page.
In the second panel when Lisa/Hush is fingering her piercings she seems to be smiling. Is she causing pain for herself for enjoyment? I guess her cenobitical nature is not so easy to shrug off. |

Glad you noted that point. It's one of my favourite panels of that story for that very reason. Gives Lisa a little menace too. - Scarecrow -------------------- "Liberate tutemet ex inferis"

I like the story, it's fresh and original, like the style it's drawn in.
Although the artwork isn't really the style I would prefer, it doesen't bring down the story and is well executed
