by Christian Ward, Xenon Honchar (Colorist), Rob Carey (Artist)

Miniseries premiere! New jumping-on point! It’s Aliens meets Dante’s Inferno! Space marines clash with demons aboard the Event Horizon in this follow-up to the biggest horror comic of 2025! 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 a gravity drive designed for interdimensional travel. Two hundred 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! Christian Ward (Event Dark Descent, Two-Face) returns to the Event Horizon, joined by superstar sci-fi artist Rob Carey (Outsiders, Resistance) to tell another story spun out of the cult-classic film! Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse.

These demons just don’t kill themselves…

The sequel to Event Horizon is here, and wooo boy is it off to a terrific start. Christian Ward sets the stage awfully nicely and borrows a bit from ALIENS with its space marines schtick, but given the nature of this particular haunted house in space and the strength of his Event Horizon prequel series, Dark Descent, he’s more than earned my benefit of the doubt with this overused trope. Especially since the main bad guy looks to be a devil-worshipping tech bro with an AI wife — I wonder who inspired that character?!

Event Horizon: Inferno #1

Space horror at its highest peak—again. Ward and company kick this new miniseries off like they’re firing a gravity drive straight into your skull. It’s cinematic, vicious, and impossibly confident, the kind of first issue that makes you immediately annoyed you can’t read the next one right now.

This debut feels like a spiritual successor to Dark Descent but with its own hellish pulse. Ward leans hard into the “Aliens meets Dante’s Inferno” promise, and it pays off: marines, demons, derelict starships, and a mythic sense of doom that coils around every page. Rob Carey’s art is a revelation—sleek sci‑fi hardware smashed against infernal monstrosities—while Xenon Honchar’s colors make the void feel alive, hungry, and watching.

The setup is irresistible: two centuries after the Event Horizon’s catastrophic return, a billionaire with more ego than sense brings a private fleet to Neptune’s graveyard. He wants answers. He wants power. And he’s willing to feed his entire workforce to the ship’s lingering evil to get it. It’s corporate horror, cosmic horror, and military sci‑fi all fused into one screaming descent.

Ward knows exactly what made the original film a cult classic, and he twists that DNA into something even more operatic. “Hell is only a word”—and this issue proves it.

A brutal, gorgeous, expertly paced opening chapter. Five stars without hesitation.
And seriously… how do we get Issue #2 now?

Happy reading from the Void 🚀🪐💀📚

Okay then, a little story time, As a kid i had my first over night stay in hospital after having minor surgery on my nose or ears i can't remember which. Coming home my dad had rented Event Horizon and was watching it and i came into the room to the scene where Justin opens the airlock after being inside the black hole and seeing what was on the other side. That scene stuck with me for years, his veins bulging and collapsing, bleeding from every orifice it just haunted me. Low and behold this first issue addresses the fate of Mr Justin as it was left unanswered at the end of loved sci fi horror cult classic. I bashed the earlier run of this title because i feel it copped out what really happened with maiden crew of the Event Horizon for some thing totally made up but i let it slide and picked up this number one which is working as a sequel to movie so going in absolutely blind i loved this first issue and cant wait to see where it goes.

I'm not sure how I feel about another "Event Horizon" mini-series so soon after the first one. While I love the movie and the IP is kind of ripe for exploration, I didn't love the direction Christian Ward went in "Event Horizon: Dark Descent," namely making a demonic entity responsible for a lot of the chaos experienced on the titular spaceship. "Event Horizon: Inferno," however, despite an odd prologue and taking place 200 years later, seems more connected to the original film so I'm inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt. Rob Carey's art seems to fit the tone of the franchise better, too. This first issue seems like a good start so I'll probably check out the next one.

Loved it. Already delivering on the promise of ALIENS meets EVENT HORIZON. Can’t wait for more.

[Shawn Hall · Rating 5 out of 5]

so far better than the prequel

Don’t ask me why that is, it just has a straight forward story telling . No confusing flashbacks…yet. I love it

Not bad.

I want to read a few more issues before I fully judge the series. But so far its ok. Not bad but not amazing.
