The Darkness #14

In "Streets Run Red, Part 1," the aftermath of a brutal act unfolds as Dominic “The Quiet Don” Alberto, left comatose after being shot with a Darkness-infused bullet, awakens to find his son Junior has pulled the plug on his life support. Written by Frank Tieri and illustrated by J. J. Kirby, with inks by Jay Liesten and Jonathan Sibal, this pivotal issue sees the violent consequences of the Darkness’s influence ripple through a fractured family and a city on edge. The cover by Dale Keown captures the grim intensity of the moment, a 2.99 USD comic from 2004 that marks a turning point in the series.
