3.0

A perfectly feasible end to what was overall a fantastic run. Looking at any of the Hellraiser films after the first two and calling this bad seems like missing the forest for the trees. That's not to say it gets a complete pass. I do think the issues from the previous volume bleed over into the conclusion and get a little worse, and I think the ending should've been more finite instead of leaving things open for someone else to potentially take over in a new run. Not uncommon in a comic, even for a licensed one like this, but I just wanted this to be a Hellraiser III I could actually enjoy and for Clive Barker to bow out gracefully assuming he never gets the film rights back. As is, I would still highly recommend it.
