From bestselling author and screenwriter Mike Carey (Unwritten, Lucifer, Girl with All the Gifts) and Arvind Ethan David (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency) comes an all-new, original world of darkness and demons.
When the demons came, humanity reluctantly learned to share the world with another sentient race. Eighty years later, this uneasy co-existence has spawned an endless terrorist conflict. Detective Daniel Aston, charged with being the thin blue line between the two sides, is tested to the limit when a demon sets up house inside his soul. But to save his daughter, he'll pay any price-including genocide.

Darkness Visible #1, is a solid title with an intriguing story, colors, and great visuals. I kinda wanted more from the story, especially the villain, but the character interactions between the father and daughter is superb. The villain's scheme was underwhelming, but the lead up to it is so good. Overall, if you like demons and humans living together, side by side, check this out thistitle. Read Full Review
The opening of Darkness Visible is solid, but not spectacular. The script connects the necessary dots to get the series started, while the art team turned in quality work – especially on the looks of the demonic characters. After another issue or so, it should be clearer whether the plot and characters live up to the high-concept ambitions. Read Full Review
I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression. Darkness Visible #1 is a good first issue. Especially if you don't overthink and over-analyze like I do. It is competently written with engaging art. I think most people will like this book if they tried it more than I did. For me, it fails by catering to the shallow aspects of fantasy and detective genres and the plays towards social relevancy comes across like Oliver Stone wielding a sledgehammer while missing the boat on the more interesting discussion of xenophobia and racism in the face of the other.

A very interesting premise. The main character becomes compelling by the end. I'm not sure what the villain's end game is, but I'm sure that it will be revealed eventually.
