Darkness #14

In Darkness #14, a 1999 Semic S.A. release with a 24 FRF cover price, Appolonia’s recovery from the Spear of Destiny’s shard sets off a deadly deception—her revenge on Jackie is a trap orchestrated by Sonatine. As the Angelus and the real Jackie clash in a climactic battle, the explosion leaves Appolonia and the Angelus vanished, Sonatine seemingly dead, and a shocking twist revealed: Sonatine has transferred his consciousness into Wengler’s body just before his own death. Written by Scott Lobdell and Sophie Viévard, with art by Joe Benitez and Clarence Lansang, and inked by a team including John Livesay and Joe Weems, this issue delivers a pulse-pounding escalation in the series’ escalating mystery. The cover, penciled by Benitez and inked by Weems, captures the moment of revelation with striking intensity.
