In a world consumed by shadows, where the very fabric of reality threatens to unravel, one man doesn't just embrace the dark—he becomes The Darkness! Jackie Estacado is back, and he's not just playing a game; he's the ultimate wildcard in a supernatural war! Get ready to be thrust into a no-holds-barred adventure where the very edge of our reality grinds against primal, unimaginable forces grappling for absolute control over each other and the waking world itself! This isn't just a conflict; it's an existential battle for everything we know!

Mafia Hitman Jackie Estacado's life took a brutally magnificent turn on his 21st birthday, when he was both blessed and cursed to become the bearer of The Darkness. This isn't just some spooky power; it's an elemental, primordial force that rips open the fabric of existence, allowing those who wield it unparalleled access to an otherworldly dimension and absolute control over the terrifying demons who dwell there! But with such power comes unimaginable consequences. As Jackie Estacado navigates this new, terrifying existence, forces across the globe—both seen and unseen—rise up to face him, desperate to quell the "evil" his gift represents. Yet, here's the electrifying twist, the delicious irony that will keep you on the edge of your seat: in this saga, evil isn't just misunderstood; evil is, undeniably, good. It's a morally ambiguous thrill ride where traditional heroism is shattered!

Prepare for an explosive new era of The Darkness, brought to you by the legendary co-creator Marc Silvestri (The Darkness, Cyber Force, Batman and the Joker: The Deadly Duo), a visionary whose name is synonymous with groundbreaking comic art! The universe-shattering first issue bursts onto the scene with mind-bending art by the phenomenal Ed Benes (Birds of Prey, Superman, Justice League of America), guaranteeing a visual feast that will leave you breathless! And the intensity doesn't let up, as issue #2 introduces the ongoing series artist, the incredibly talented Raymond Gay (Gunsligner Spawn, Bloodletter, TMNT, Medieval Spawn), who promises to continue this epic journey with a style that's as brutal as it is beautiful. This is more than a comic; it's an experience, a plunge into a world where power corrupts, but sometimes, corruption is the only way to survive!
