![]() ![]() The curse of The Darkness is passed down through the generations from father to son, with the powers awakening in the bearer on their 21st birthday. Of course, this is only a small snapshot of what Garth has accomplished in his career.Īnyway, The Darkness series is about a supernatural, chaotic entity known as The Darkness which has existed throughout the aeons since time immemorial. If any of those name are going to ring any bells, it’ll be Garth Ennis, as he’s the writer responsible for comic book cultural touchstones like Punisher MAX, which went onto inspire both the Netflix Marvel series and the film Punisher: War Zone, along with Preacher and The Boys, both of which have become incredibly popular TV shows on Amazon Prime (maybe one more popular than the other). The Darkness was created in 1996 by Silvestri, David Wohl and Garth Ennis. However, we’re skipping over a decade here. The Witchblade series, which is still a key part of Top Cow and parent company Image Comics’ portfolio and is being worked on today, received plenty of adaptations to TV and even manga, but it was The Darkness that got its shot at video games. Top Cow really sprung to life in 1995-96, with the success of both Witchblade and The Darkness, two parallel stories that featured plenty of crossover characters and arcs. ![]() Founded in 1992 by Marc Silvestri, Top Cow Productions is a comic book company responsible for the likes of Cyberforce and Codename: Strykeforce, two comic lines about a group of super powered individuals banding together to defeat evil, usually with lots of guns. Fans have been waiting for a follow-up ever since, so today, during the month of big spooks, we’re asking the question: will we ever see The Darkness 3?Īs a comic book property, The Darkness’ history dates back far before the first video game. Unfortunately, while the comic book series has been going on for 25 years this year and is set to return from a long hiatus next year, the game series only received two releases before being left on a cliffhanger. Proof of that comes in the form of The Darkness, a comic book franchise that perhaps had its longest moment in the spotlight as a video game series of the same name. Supernatural weirdness and the Italian mob feel like two complete opposites when it comes to influences, but pushing these two opposing forces together has proved to be magic in the past. With that in mind, this weekly “Past And Future/Will We See X?” series will be focused on some horror and supernatural games for the next month. It’s the month of spooks, or Cawrror Month for a bird/horror related pun. ![]()
