The Darkness #36

The concluding chapter of the "Ripclaw" arc arrives in style with this December 2000 issue, featuring cover art by Clayton Crain and Jonathan Glapion that packs an extraordinary amount of menace into a single image. Jackie Estacado looms at the center, his Darkness armor bristling with razor-sharp claws while a swarm of grotesque, glowing-eyed Darklings surges around him — and above him, a fearsome armored figure adds another layer of threat to the chaos. Scott Lobdell's story wraps up its three-part run with a creative team that includes artists Clayton Crain and Jonathan Glapion bringing serious intensity to every shadowy corner of this Top Cow/Image production.
