The Darkness

The Darkness, published by Infinity Verlag from 2000 to 2002, is a 23-issue supernatural crime series that follows a mob enforcer who wields a primordial, shadowy force. The series is most associated with writer Garth Ennis and artist Marc Silvestri, who established its gritty, violent tone and its exploration of power, legacy, and the monstrous. It matters as a key early-2000s title that helped define the darker, more mature edge of the Top Cow universe.
