This volume collects the origin of Estacado as the current bearer of The Darkness, and introduces classic characters such as the Angelus, Butcher, and Sonatine.<br \/>\nShowcasing the original creative team of writer Garth Ennis (Punisher, Preacher) and Top Cow founder and CEO Marc Silvestri (Dark Avengers\/X-men: Utopia) makes The Darkness Origins Volume 1 the perfect introduction to one of the most compelling characters of the Top Cow universe.\u00a0 The 160-page volume will also feature a cover gallery of the original issues #1\u20136 as well as behind the scenes material.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe launched the Origins line with Witchblade and it\u2019s proven to be very popular. It allows us to showcase the classic tales that established the Top Cow Universe, but also spotlight the more modern tales in our other lines like Darkness Accursed,\u201d explained Publisher Filip
