Jackie himself happens to be a departure from the typical antihero in comics, as he wasn’t exactly a good person before gaining the power of the Darkness. Heads get ripped off, bodies are riddled with bullets, and there’s a Breaking Bad-esque scene involving a bathtub and acid. Much like The Boys, this collection is packed to the brim with violent moments courtesy of Ennis and co-writer Malachy Coney. ![]() The Darkness was created by Garth Ennis (the co-creator of The Boys) alongside Top Cow founder Marc Silvestri and David Wohl. Jackie learns to master the power of the Darkness while battling the light-powered Angelus and dealing with the Brotherhood of the Darkness, a cult that believes Jackie is the key to remaking the world. The Darkness allows Jackie to manipulate shadows and even create other creatures, but it has also painted a massive target on his back. ![]() ![]() On his 21st birthday, mob enforcer Jackie Estacado learns that he has inherited the ancient force known as the Darkness from his father. It is published by Top Cow Productions, a partner studio of Image Comics. The Complete Darkness Volume 1 collects The Darkness #1-18, Tales of the Darkness #1-4, The Darkness: Prelude #1, and Witchblade #10, #18, and #19. ![]()
