Razorline was a Marvel imprint from 1993-1994, made in conjunction with horror novelist Clive Barker. It is commonly known as the Barkerverse.

Marvel published the preview issue:

  • Razorline The First Cut

Razorline published four titles:

  • Ectokid (9 issues)
  • Hokum & Hex (9 issues)
  • Hyperkind (9 issues
  • Saint Sinner (7 issues)

After the titles were cancelled, Marvel published two issues to wrap up the Barkerverse:

  • Ectokid Unleashed
  • Hyperkind Unleashed!

An appendix page of Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005 designated the Barkerverse as Earth-45828.

Cat Yronwode had this to say about unpublished issues of the Razorline imprint:

Several issues of each of the Marvel-Barker titles have been fully scripted and illustrated, and Marvel still retains the rights to publish them if and when the market takes an upturn.

Other sources report those titles to have been:

  • Fusion Force (creators unknown)
  • Mode Extreme (writer Sarah Byam)
  • Schizm (writer Fred Burke)
  • Wraitheart (writer Frank Lovece; artist Hector Gomez)
