About the series
In the gritty Image Comics series The Darkness (2002–2005), the title refers to an ancient, demonic force that bonds to a chosen host, granting immense power at a terrible price. Over its 24-issue run, writers Paul Jenkins, Ron Marz, and David Lapham shaped the mythology of this supernatural crime saga, with artists Martin Montiel, Dale Keown, and Brian Denham bringing its shadowy, violent world to life. A cornerstone of the Top Cow universe, this series matters for its dark, cinematic take on the antihero genre and its exploration of legacy and corruption.
