The Darkness is a series of comics produced by Top Cow
Productions (TCP). The comic first appeared in 1996 and
enjoyed an initial period of relative success during the
TCP/Image Comics boom of the late 1990s. However, TCP
were forced to "relaunch" the comic in 2002
after sales began to drop. The comic has sold over 1 million
copies worldwide. The series was created by Marc Silvestri,
Garth Ennis, and David Wohl, other noted writers, including
Paul Jenkins, have also worked on the Darkness. In December
2004 Dimension Films paid an undisclosed six-figure sum
to develop a possible movie based on the comic, planned
for release in 2007. The comic was pitched as a similar
movie to the Crow, which was also produced by Dimension.
In March 2005 The Darkness was licensed by Majesco for
a console game, to be developed by Starbreeze Studios.
It will be a first-person and third-person game, to be
released in 2006.
