The criminal underworld of New York City is a dark and brutal place, but it's never seen horror like this... In the opening salvo of this best-selling series created by industry legends MARC SILVESTRI and GARTH ENNIS, up-and-coming mobster Jackie Estacado discovers a nightmarish new inheritance - the supernatural power known only as the Darkness! Weighing his conscience against the ability to mould the shadows to his will, Jackie finds himself dealing with worse than the usual an ancient cult, an angelic archenemy, and the corrupting consequences of the demonic entity empowering him.
