The Darkness #3

In "Spear of Destiny," Jackie Estacado stalks the shadows of a cursed legacy, hunting those who sent the Magdalena to kill him. As the Sisters of the Order of Magdalene prepare her for a sacred duty, Jackie delivers a brutal message—crucifying them as a warning to the power that commands them. With the past clawing at his present, he moves closer to the truth behind the spear, the blood, and the name that binds him to a fate he never chose.

On December 21st, Jackie Estacado races against time to save his grandmother, Nicoletta De Vesci, from a deadly trap set by Cristofano De Vesci. With the sun setting and the Darkness’s power fading, Jackie must confront the chilling truth: his own family is the source of the horror. As the clock ticks toward midnight, he’s forced to reckon with blood ties, ancient curses, and a vendetta that spans generations.

In "Wyrmwood," Jackie Estacado confronts a terrifying legacy when he discovers that an ancient branch of his family helped forge a hidden town existing beyond reality. With Jenny Romano at his side and the malevolent influence of Wyrmwood threatening to spill into the world, Jackie must decide whether to unleash its chaos or reclaim it—using the Darkness itself to seal the town away, forever.

In "Sins of the Past," the past comes roaring back as Appolonia Franchetti, restored to health by a shard of the Spear of Destiny, believes she’s finally exacting revenge on Jackie Estacado—only to find herself entangled in a deception orchestrated by Lord Sonatine. As the Angelus and the real Jackie clash in a violent showdown that ends in an explosion, the aftermath reveals a chilling twist: Sonatine’s death was a ruse, and his true plan unfolds through the body of Wenders, who now wears his face.
