‘Event Horizon: Inferno’ Sequel Comic Covers Revealed [Exclusive]

Set two centuries after the events of Paul W.S. Anderson’s 1997 sci-fi horror film, comic miniseries Event Horizon: Inferno is gearing up for takeoff.

We have an exclusive first look at new cover art by Eamon Winkle, Caspar Wijngaard, and series artist Rob Carey below.

Event Horizon: Inferno #1 will be published on April 22 via IDW Dark, with pre-orders due by March 16.

Event Horizon: Dark Descent writer Christian Ward is back at the helm for a story described as “Aliens meets Dante’s Inferno.”

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,” 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.”

Before Inferno launches, the fifth and final issue of prequel comic Event Horizon: Dark Descent will be published on February 4, with a trade paperback collection is due out in the summer.
