The official solicit synopsis for Event Horizon: Inferno #1 from IDW Publishing reads, "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. 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!"

The original Event Horizon was directed by Paul Anderson from a screenplay by Philip Eisner, and followed the crew of the Lewis & Clark as they journeyed to the stranded and seemingly lifeless Event Horizon, a ship powered by an experimental gravity drive created by Sam Neill's Dr. William G. "Billy" Weir. Shortly after arriving on the Event Horizon, the crew of the Lewis & Clark finds themselves besieged by horrific visions, gruesome revelations, and demonic forces beyond human comprehension.

Event Horizon Also Has A Prequel Comic Series

Back in 2025, IDW Publishing gave Event Horizon fans the prequel experience they didn't know they needed in the form of Event Horizon: Dark Descent by writer Christian Ward and artist Tristan Jones. The prequel series was a massive hit, drawing rave reviews from critics and amassing some truly staggering sales numbers across its five-issue run.

Ward himself previously opened up about both series, stating, "I have to admit I've even been taken aback by just how big a hit Dark Descent has been, and I'm thrilled now to be continuing the story of Event Horizon in Event Horizon: Inferno! First, we told you the story about what happened before the events of the film, and now... now we’re exploring what happened after the credits rolled."
