    Aside from familiarity of the series being advantageous, The Darkness: Hope truly entertains. The truth that is finally revealed will change perceptions of all of the characters for readers"a feat not easily done. The uneasy and chilling ending may leave an unsettling feeling for some, but it will also prompt two questions: is the ending showcasing a never-ending cycle, or could there be a new battle for Hope sometime in the future?

    Alas, this is but a one-shot. Maybe we’ll see more, maybe we won’t. The creative team on this book is made of the Top Cow Talent Hunt winners. This is a great issue to showcase their talents and usher them into the industry. Remember these names, because I have a feeling we’ll be seeing more of them soon. Read Full Review

    The Darkness: Hope is an issue worth checking out to see another story that could be told from this very popular concept, it proposes to take the story in a fresh direction, and it seems that given the reigns, those two could take it to a whole new level, the way Stjepan Seijic did with Witchblade and Switch.

    The Darkness: Hope #1 definitely feels like the first outing for the creative team. The book has a solid story, but it lacks execution with a number of flaws in the writing, art, and coloring. If you want an out of continuity Darkness story, this might be worth your time, but if you are looking for a solid one-shot, you should pass on this one. Read Full Review
