About The Book

  • For the complete collector, comes the highly anticipated second volume in The Darkness Compendium series! This volume picks up where the first one left off, as Jackie Estacado, bearer of The Darkness, returns from Hell itself to gain revenge on his former mob family for the death of his one true love, Jenny. It contains the seminal run by Paul Jenkins and Dale Keown which inspired The Darkness video game, along with story arcs by noted authors including David Lapham (Stray Bullets), Scott Lobdell (X-Men), and Ron Marz (Artifacts), and the first twenty-five issues of Phil Hester's revolutionary relaunch of the series to coincide with The Darkness video game. Join Jackie as he goes from resurrected assassin to mob boss to drug kingpin to bagman for an ancient demon!
  • The Darkness Compendium Volume 2 collects The Darkness Volume 2 #1-24, The Darkness Volume 3 #1-10, and the "Legacy Numbering" issues #75-89 for a total of 50 complete issues collected into one deluxe hard cover volume.
