For the first time in almost 30 years, fans can board the Event Horizon for a twisted new tale…
Event Horizon: Dark Descent is the first expansion of the cult horror favorite since it was released in theaters by Paramount Pictures in 1997. The terrifying cinematic universe was originally created by director Paul W.S. Anderson and writer Philip Eisner, and now an innovative crew of acclaimed comic book creators – multiple Eisner Award-winner Christian Ward, powerhouse sci-fi artist Tristan Jones, and rising star colorist Pip Martin – proudly present the official prequel to the unforgettable film that has haunted fans for decades.
Embracing the hard-R rating of the shocking movie, Event Horizon: Dark Descent #1 (of 5 issues) will lightspeed jump into comic shops this August. Taking place before the events of the film and completely accessible to new readers, this is the unbelievable story of the final fate of the original Event Horizon crew. What really happened to Captain Kilpack and the first crew as their ship journeyed across a nightmarish realm of torments beyond imagining? Abandon all hope as demonic forces – led by Paimon, the eyeless King of Hell – unleash agony and pure evil upon the crew in a gripping story.
Event Horizon: Dark Descent #1 (of 5 issues) is on sale August 20, 2025 with a pre-order deadline of July 14, 2025. The first issue will feature a primary cover by Jeffrey Alan Love, variant covers by Christian Ward, Martin Simmonds, and Joshua Hixson, a foil full art variant of Ward’s cover, and a sketch cover.
