The Rundown: The crew of the Event Horizon are trapped in a hell dimension that is spreading throughout the ship.

Before the mission, Peter discovers some devastating personal news. News that he chooses to keep to himself rather than risk his spot on the mission. In the present, the Chaos Realm continues to bleed into the ship as several members of the crew are either killed or become walking horrors.

As the captain locks and barricades himself in the bridge, he tells the remaining crew that they need to get the gravity drive working if they have any chance of returning to normal space. Unfortunately, the entity that emerged from the drive has other plans and unleashes a dangerous entity to attack the crew before it goes to see the captain.

The Story: Ward crafts a dark, thrilling adventure in this issue. I continue to love the revelations and secrets throughout the story and how those things motivate the characters in the present to their ultimate end. There are some truly dark and scary moments throughout the story and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

The Art: Jones delivers dark, beautifully detailed and visually exciting art throughout the issue. I love the cinematic style of the imagery and how it captures the mood of the story.
