The Darkness #1

The French publisher Delcourt brings The Darkness to Francophone readers with this handsome 2009 collected volume, subtitled L'Avènement ("The Coming"), by the creative team of Ennis, Silvestri, and Turner. The cover is a striking piece of supernatural action — a dark-armored figure wreathed in shadowy, tentacled creatures surges upward against a deep blue cityscape, radiating menace and otherworldly power. It's a vivid introduction to this world of darkness and dread, presented in a high-quality format worthy of a place on any shelf.
