Jackie Estacado, the current bearer of The Darkness, was blackmailed
and lied to by a devil who calls himself The Sovereign. Now free from
The Sovereign's grip, Jackie has assembled a motley crew of criminals
with one goal -- destroy every last one of The Sovereign's
reliquaries! His quest will pit him against a former Russian mob boss
turned art collector, a mute mystic, countless of The Sovereign's
statues, and even traitors within his midst!
Collecting The Darkness #85-89, this volume concludes the second
year of writer Phil Hester's (Firebreather, Wonder Woman) epic run
with Estacado confronting The Sovereign. Featuring art by Sheldon
Mitchell (Pilot Season: Stealth) and Romano Molenaar, and a special
stand-alone "Tale of The Darkness" issue set in the Wild West by
Joshua Hale Fialkov (Tumor, Echoes) and Matt Timson (Impaler,
Popgun).
