      @comic book university After ur vid I hopped over to Comixology and read Darkness #1(free w/Unlimited) and between issues I stumbled upon another Image comic called "Sam & Twitch" (they were a duo of detectives from Spawn comics who got their own miniseries) and it's not only a VERY good story w/typically amazing Image artwork, but it's also "mob related" similar to Darkness, I know your take on "gangster" flicks(I feel the same way, for the exact same reasons) but like Darkness this is a really cool take but more a homicide detective mystery than mafia genre. You'll probably dig it...

      @@ComicBookUniversity hey bro, you had given me your email address a couple weeks ago but I cannot find where the hell I put it, I just wanted to send you a bit of info about a new channel Im starting(called-
      Comix 'n Chill -its a Hip-Hop themed comic show, I have one "teaser vid" up now) that I think you'll be interested in and maybe would give it a quick look, if you dig it and think it's a good idea, maybe you'd do me the honor of a lil shout out on your next live sess'? Kinda like you did with Comic Boom I was on there and u asked us all to go sub(I did) to help him get to 1k, no pressure OF COURSE but if you gave it a quick look Id be forever grateful brother. Love your stuff either way.. lol
      stay safe bro. Thx.

      @@ComicBookUniversity aww damn, really? I was worried a bout that a bit, I knew that was an issue but there are so many mics in every price range(I am on a very low budget starting out) on eBay and I just dont know what is good enough for what amount of money, u use a headset a lot, do u prefer that to a condenser mic for any reason?
      And hey THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to check it out! Were u able to hear what I said at all? Do u think it is a good idea for a channel? There's definitely a demographic out there for it and I haven't seen anything exactly like it... I dont know how to get views other than tags and keywords in description basic stuff which doesnt do much at all, I thought of getting guys like you and maybe Rob(Comic Explained) to give me some shout outs would be a good way, I wanted to wait to have good quality vids(sound etc) before I did too much "advertising" but Idk...

    The Darkness was an amazing video game.. I'm still bummed that they left us on such a cliffhanger. Wonder if the comic was left the same way

    Love this comic. Was lucky enough to get the early issues signed by Marc Silvestre at a convention.

      @@TimmyTurner421 yes they did. people may call it petty but the Darkness was my most valued comics killed him off with no honor and the story was pure trash take note the comics was cancelled and he didnt even die in his own comic. after all the adventure and all the emotional stuff the character went into, the last issues were completely out of his character. he got killed with no major plot battle he just got killed. i refuse to accept that the events after "artifacts" was cannon my comics collecting ended after artifacts volume 3 since they screwed the whole story that led to that sick 90's killer for me

    This must have come out after I dropped off of comic collecting. My earliest memories of Image were of constant delays of titles. Youngblood was relatively on time, as was WildCats and Spawn, but the others were really hit and miss.

    I just started playing The Darkness 2 again since X360, didnt even know there were comics! and it really makes me sad but also really REALLY MAD, that we will NEVER EVER get Adult videogames/content like this ever again (mainly in video games though). People have become so soft and thin skinned and think everything in comics & video games has to be a reflection of real life. Everyone has to make sure every box is checked so that Communist Twitter doesn't start crying. Look how bad games have gotten since 2015, hardly ANY gore anymore. All the woman look like men and have tits smaller than myself and everyone has zeroed in on Identity Politics. Its a travesty. My last hope is Starfield i know its DEF NOT gona be an Adult title but its a BGS game and they make great games for mods. New Vegas was an AWESOME game to mod. If Starfield is another BGS bust, thats it for me i will be throwing in the towel for modern gaming and i will be sticking to games made BEFORE 2015.
