Publisher’s description

An all-new cosmic horror story set in the universe of the terrifying cult-classic film. 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!
