“Hearts of Darkness Part Two”

This 1998 Top Cow/Image chapter of "Hearts of Darkness Part Two" delivers one of the series' most unsettling covers: a luminous, cracked-skinned supernatural infant curled in a womb-like void of swirling flame and shadow, with dark winged creatures lurking at the edges. The image radiates an eerie, otherworldly warmth — all golden fire against consuming darkness — rendered with striking detail by cover penciler Marc Silvestri and inker Joe Weems. Writers Garth Ennis and Malachy Coney are steering The Darkness into some genuinely haunting territory, and this cover makes that unmistakably clear.
