IDW's official synopsis for Event Horizon: Dark Descent:
Embracing the hard-R horror of the shocking film, EVENT HORIZON: DARK DESCENT #1 (of 5) arrives in comic shops this August. Set before the movie's events, this accessible yet terrifying prequel reveals the ultimate fate of Captain Kilpack's original crew as their ship navigates unspeakable horrors. Witness the crew's torment at the hands of demonic forces led by Paimon, the eyeless King of Hell, in this visceral descent into absolute evil.
"It's an incredible honor to expand this beloved universe, and I'm approaching it with both passion and responsibility," Ward commented. "We're taking bold, bloody creative risks that will forever change how viewers experience the original film."
"Christian's additions to the lore will shock fans while remaining true to the source material," Ward added. "The gruesome visual opportunities excite me as an artist, and collaborating directly with the original film team ensures this will satisfy longtime devotees while terrifying new readers."
