Thrust into a no-holds-barred supernatural war between dark and light, mafia hitman Jackie Estacado grapples with the curse he inherited on his 21st birthday: an elemental force granting dominion over demonic hordes from another realm, where reality frays against forces vying for control and the cost of power threatens to consume him.

It's a collector's must-have for its thematic ignition of the relaunch's shadowy war, Benes' acclaimed pedigree from Birds of Prey and Justice League, and synergy with the issue's interior art, marking it as a premium chase in the variant lineup.Key Appearances: Centers on The Darkness (Jackie Estacado) unleashing his demonic arsenal, with teases of Angelus light-wielders and Witchblade ties in the brewing war.
