Christian Ward on expanding the Event Horizon Universe
Welcome to AIPT Comics Podcast Episode 337! This week, we’re joined by the always insightful and imaginative Christian Ward, here to talk about his upcoming prequel comic Event Horizon: Dark Descent #1, out August 20 from IDW. Ward dives deep into why Event Horizon has haunted his imagination since first seeing it in theaters, how he approached expanding the lore of the cult horror sci-fi classic, and why this isn’t just a one-off story; he’s building something bigger. We also chat about gore, dread, character trauma, and what comic book character he’d want aboard the Event Horizon with him.
