Mar 31, 2026The writing on this continues to be absolutely superb with Jackie being given so many layers to his character. His demons inside of him literally targeting him and communicating with him was a lot of fun. His conscience trying to talk some reason into him to no avail was a great way to outwardly show the tough situation Jackie is in. Read Full Review

Mar 19, 2026The Darkness #4 hits that sweet spot where you can feel the creative team locking in, marrying mobster grime, supernatural escalation, and a genuinely uncomfortable look at how far Jackie will go to protect Jenny without actually facing her pain. On the plus side, you get a brilliantly paced opener, a nasty Wolves of War gauntlet, and a hospital sequence that quietly reorders everything you thought you knew about Jackie’s upbringing, all delivered through energetic layouts and moody, effective colors. On the minus side, the occasional muddiness in the daylight action and some juvenile Darkling bits hold it back from true modern-classic status, especially when the emotional material around Jenny could hit harder with more time on the page.

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Mar 17, 2026It's not like there is a whole lot of potential in the series still. I mean, I've had been running for quite some time. It still holds a great deal of potential all these years after which was first introduced. And certainly there are elements and aspects of what Sylvestri and Company are bringing to the page that continue to hold fascination. It's just a matter of angling the story just right to capture those things that are of greatest interest. It's kind of difficult to manage that when there are so many ways for it to go wrong.
