A grim vignette from the Darkness mythos: Jackie Estacado wrestles with the hunger and whispering entities that come with the mantle while a seductive hunter—tied to the Darkness’ supernatural order—tries to draw him into a bloody purge. The piece functions as a mood-heavy snapshot of Jackie’s war with angelic adversaries and predatory lures, ending on a stinger that tees up the core series’ themes of possession, temptation, and violent reprisal. Back matter in the regular Top Cow 1/2 includes a color reprint of a 4-page Garth Ennis preview piece originally from The Darkness Special Preview Edition.
