About The Book

  • Jackie Estacado, the current bearer of The Darkness, was blackmailed and lied to by a devil who calls himself The Sovereign. Now free from The Sovereign's grip, Jackie has assembled a motley crew of criminals with one goal — destroy every last one of The Sovereign's reliquaries! His quest will pit him against a former Russian mob boss turned art collector, a mute mystic, countless of The Sovereign's statues, and even traitors within his midst!
  • Collecting The Darkness #85-89, this volume concludes the second year of writer Phil Hester's (Firebreather, Wonder Woman) epic run with Estacado confronting The Sovereign. Featuring art by Sheldon Mitchell (Pilot Season: Stealth) and Romano Molenaar, and a special stand-alone "Tale of The Darkness" issue set in the Wild West by Joshua Hale Fialkov (Tumor, Echoes) and Matt Timson (Impaler, Popgun).
