Event Horizon: Dark Descent #5
Writer: Christian Ward
Artist: Tristan Jones

Dark has it come! Space can be a nightmare, and this finale proves it. The creative team pushes every boundary they’ve built over the series and delivers an ending that feels both inevitable and shockingly apocalyptic.

The final chapter of Event Horizon: Dark Descent is a full‑throttle plunge into cosmic terror. With Captain Kilpack gone and the crew reduced to a desperate few, the last survivors make one final attempt to destroy the gravity drive—the cursed heart of the Event Horizon and the only thing that might wound Paimon. The tension is suffocating, the stakes absolute, and the atmosphere thick with dread.

What elevates this issue is the intrusion of something new aboard the ship: an angelic presence that complicates everything the crew—and the reader—thought they understood about Hell, divinity, and the ship’s impossible journey. Ward and Jones twist the mythology into something grander and more unsettling than simple good versus evil. It’s cosmic horror with theological teeth.

Jones’ art is a nightmare symphony of flesh, machinery, and impossible geometry, while Ward’s writing lands every emotional and existential blow. Together, they craft a finale that honors the original film’s legacy while expanding it into something far more mythic and terrifying.

A spectacular, skin‑crawling conclusion to the scariest sci‑fi story ever told. Five stars, without hesitation.

Happy reading from The Void 🚀🪐📚
