The Darkness #7

In The Darkness #7 (2004), former errand runner Jake Nightly seeks revenge on Jackie after being discarded by Frankie Franchetti in favor of the younger man, leading to a deadly confrontation at Penn Station. With the Darkness’s dark power shielding him, Jackie barely survives the explosion Jake sets, marking a turning point in their escalating conflict. Written by Paul Jenkins and illustrated by Eric Basaldua, Mike Choi, and Matt Banning, with inks by Scott Hanna and Rick Basaldua, colors by Matt Milla, and letters by Dreamer Design, Robin Spehar, Dennis Heisler, and Mark Roslan, the issue’s cover by Eric Basaldua and Matt Banning captures the tension in a stark, shadowed scene.
