Following the success of the prequel comic Event Horizon: Dark Descent, a sequel comic set 200 years after the events of Paul W.S. Anderson’s 1997 cosmic horror film is landing soon.
Event Horizon: Inferno will launch in April 2026 from IDW Dark.
Dark Descent writer Christian Ward is back at the helm, this time teaming with artist Rob Carey (Aliens: Resistance).
The first issue will feature covers by Ward and Carey along with a retailer incentive variant by Rod Reis.
In 2040, the starship Event Horizon disappeared. Seven years later, it returned possessed by a demonic entity. After murdering its rescue crew, it was blown in half, with the front of the ship left yearning for its heart: a gravity drive designed for interdimensional travel.
200 years later, a billionaire brings his own private star fleet to the wreckage around Neptune. He’s heard stories of the Event Horizon and will gleefully sacrifice any number of employees to uncover its secrets!
“I’m thrilled to continue the story of Event Horizon. First we told you the story about what happened before the events of the film and now we’re exploring what happened after the credits rolled,” said Ward. “Get ready for more sci-fi, more excitement, and especially more cosmic terror. There are more demons in Hell and we’re only just beginning.”
The fifth and final issue of Event Horizon: Dark Descent will be published on February 4. Reprints of the sold-out first four issues will be available the same day. The trade paperback collection is due out in the summer.
