Get ready for a thrilling journey into the depths of cosmic horror! 'Event Horizon: Inferno' is set to ignite your imagination.
After the phenomenal success of the prequel comic, 'Event Horizon: Dark Descent', IDW Dark is bringing us a sequel that promises to delve even deeper into the terrifying world of Paul W.S. Anderson's iconic film.
'Event Horizon: Inferno' will transport us 200 years into the future, a future where the mysteries of the Event Horizon starship still haunt the minds of the curious and the brave. Christian Ward, the talented writer behind 'Dark Descent', is back to guide us through this new chapter, teaming up with artist Rob Carey, known for his work on 'Aliens: Resistance'.
But here's where it gets controversial... The story picks up 200 years after the film's events, with a billionaire leading a private star fleet to the wreckage of the Event Horizon near Neptune. This billionaire, it seems, is willing to sacrifice his employees to uncover the ship's secrets. It raises an ethical question: is curiosity worth the cost of human lives?
And this is the part most people miss... The Event Horizon, once a starship, became possessed by a demonic entity, leading to the tragic deaths of its rescue crew. The ship's gravity drive, designed for interdimensional travel, was the heart of this demonic possession.
Christian Ward teases, "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 first issue of 'Event Horizon: Inferno' will feature covers by Ward and Carey, along with a retailer incentive variant by Rod Reis. The fifth and final issue of 'Event Horizon: Dark Descent' will be published on February 4, with reprints of the sold-out first four issues available the same day. The trade paperback collection is expected to hit shelves in the summer.
So, are you ready to embark on this terrifying journey? Will you be picking up 'Event Horizon: Inferno' when it launches in April 2026? And what do you make of this billionaire's willingness to sacrifice his employees? Is it a necessary evil in the pursuit of knowledge, or a moral dilemma that should be avoided at all costs?
