Summary: Has Potential
Comment: I tried to get into the Darkness for some odd reason. Some of the stories have potential and the art is good. But then it gets to wrapped up in being sexually gratitous. I mean c'mon a character who will die if he sleeps with a woman? I enjoy comic books, like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and I adored the X-men in the eighties and Batman. But a lot of comics have gone down the drain, they rely more on drawing pinup girls then working on a solid, fun, entertaining story. Damn shame... Top Cow is guilty of this, and it's a shame.

Summary: It's better than TV at least!
Comment: Garth Ennis has really made his name in the comic book business with the Preacher series. This book will enjoy lively sales simply because of the success of that series. Comic fans will follow a favourite creator around like sharks after paddlers. Just be grateful that you read the Preacher books first. This book starts off with a huge crutch. In my opinion the publishers, Top Cow Press, are trying to sell a product rather than a comic. They want to sell video games, action figures, serious and expensive statuettes, oh yeah, and a few comic books. So they hire a hot popular talent and pay him to write a book about their product. This is what has really happened. Ennis seems to be straining under a huge piece of editorial control. There's little he can do with this tale of The Darkness. Maybe you'll enjoy the tale of Jackie Estacada, the Mob hitman with the heart of gold who eventually discovers his supernatural power. Mybe you'll realise that what you're reading is essentially a really bad story. This is all just my opinion. You might love it. I can't tell you what to buy, or where to spend your money. All I can say is "I told you so".
