DESCRIPTION

Following the events of First Born, Jackie Estacado relocates to the secluded nation of Sierra Muñoz, where he explores new uses of his powers with the help of a mysterious professor. But Jackie is being manipulated, and when he finally realizes it, not even his Darkness powers may be enough to save him. Death, mayhem, destruction...all that and more are in this introductory Darkness story that will surely become an instant classic.

Now’s your chance to read “Empire,” the first storyline by the new creative team of Phil Hester (Firebreather, Green Arrow) and Michael Broussard (Unholy Union) that marked the shocking return of the Darkness to the Top Cow Universe!

Mafia hitman Jackie Estacado was both blessed and cursed on his 21st birthday when he became the bearer of the Darkness, an elemental force that allows those who wield it access to an otherwordly dimension and control over the demons who dwell there. Forces for good in the world rise up to face Jackie and the evil his gift represents, but there is one small problem. In this story… they are the bad guys.
