Event Horizon: Dark Descent #1 first look preview teases official prequel comic series

July 11, 2025 by Gary Collinson

IDW Publishing launches an all-new prequel to Paul W.S. Anderson’s cult 1997 sci-fi horror Event Horizon this August, and thanks to AIPT, we have a first-look preview of Event Horizon: Dark Descent #1 for you below, which offers a tease at the cosmic horrors that await; check it out below…

The Event Horizon was a revolutionary spaceship designed for one mission: faster-than-light travel with a top secret and experimental gravity drive. But upon activating the device, the ship journeyed across the borders of HELL ITSELF. In a nightmarish realm of torments beyond imagining, Captain Kilpack and the first crew of the Event Horizon must resist all manner of demonic forces including Paimon, the eyeless King of Hell, and their own descents into madness and bloodlust, if they’ve any chance of escaping back to their own world.

Abandon all hope and board the Event Horizon with multiple Eisner Award–winner Christian Ward (writer of Batman: City of Madness, Two-Face) and powerhouse sci-fi artist Tristan Jones (Aliens: Defiance, Tales of the TMNT), in this unbelievable story of the true and final fate of the original Event Horizon crew. This original five-issue miniseries serves as an official prequel to the film!

 

Event Horizon: Dark Descent #1 goes on sale on August 20th 2025.
