Having loved Event Horizon since I saw it opening night in 1997 and having just read the entire first issue of the comic book mini-series, I can confidently say that the creative team of Christian Ward, Tristan Jones, Pip Martin, and Alex Ray have crafted something really special. This return to the world of Event Horizon has what we've come to love from the original film, while giving us all-new, terrifying cosmic horrors in the first issue, and this is only the beginning. I can't wait to see what's in store for the first crew of the Event Horizon, and I'm especially intrigued by the introduction of the eyeless Paimon.
"Miniseries premiere! 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!"

The deadline for pre-ordering the first issue is July 14th, with the issue arriving in comic book stores on August 20th. Missed my interview with Christian Ward to talk all things Event Horizon?
