I'll admit (or brag) I've read this issue. I liked it. I like how seemlessly the two universes are meshed together. It doesn't quite feel like a cheap crossover (which I've seen too many times in the 90s). Sure the way everyone comes together could be stretching things a bit but it is a comic book. It's meant to be fun. Seeing all of these characters fight together or along side each other is going to be interesting. This one-shot does it all in one issue. It sets things up and doesn't skimp on the action. It's also a lead in to First Born, in a way. I'm really getting hooked into the Top Cow comics. They've been...refreshing lately.

The biggest Top Cow/Marvel crossover yet crashes into stores in June! Bringing together The Darkness and Witchblade along with no less than three Marvel superstars, this crossover is going to bring the house down!
Every mob boss needs a competent lawyer. Jackie Estacado's hired a great one (even though he does happen to be blind). But even if Jackie can beat the rap, the Spirit of Vengeance is not so easily satisfied. As if a battle royale between The Darkness and Ghost Rider weren't enough, this special features the incredible Hulk rampaging through New York City, both the current and former bearers of the Witchblade, and even an appearance by the master of the mystic arts, Doctor Strange. A stand-alone story that nevertheless sets the stage for Top Cow's First Born event, this is a tale in which all hell breaks loose -- literally!
Written by Ron Marz (Witchblade, Ion) and drawn by Top Cow's latest find, Michael Broussard, this is one crossover that demands your attention. Oh, yeah... The book also contains an exclusive preview of First Born!
