    As we have known for a while the Darkness came to an end in The Darkness #116 to be followed by a mini-series called "The Darkness Falls". Things aren't looking good for Jackie it seems as though he is going to be killed off much to my dismay. Here is an interview with the current writer on the subject:

    And Stjepan Sejic has given us a peak at some of the interiors pre-colored:

    @wyldsong@laflux I need a hug :((

    There there. If I'm not mistaken a mini-series on Luther Strode starts later this year, so its 2 for 2.

    2 for (Peter's back and Luther) 2 against (end of Scarlet Spider and The Darkness)

    And yes, more Luther this year (which I finished the entire series to date, and am hooked), plus Pete will be back.

    As for Jackie...yup, it is a bummer. It will lead into a story with the Angelus ascending, and I am sure we will eventually get the Darkness back, being a flagship title, and the fact that there should be another game, and movie stuff is in the works. We will see what happens, but I do feel you on being bummed out=(

    @wyldsong: Do you reckon they will bring back Jackie or do you think we'll get a new Darkness host?

    Jackie is one of Ron Marz's favorite characters, and he is a bit of a driving force between his work on Witchblade and the Darkness. My bet is on Jackie's eventual return. Though, we have to see what happens with Hope as well.

    Haven't heard anything yet, but there are rumors of a Witchblade/Darkness crossover flick.

    Guys as a question,a few actually:

    - So this is the really final end of the Darkness,not the end like when Jackie died and came back in v2?

    - All other comics will continue,Witchblade,Artifacts?Or what?

    -Will the darkness eventually ben picked-up as it is the longest running series in top cow.

    - Why couldn't they cancell any other series,not the darkness?

    - When will Witchblade #182 come out?

    So I'm actually sad.But if the darkness isn't going to get picked up(external link:http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=44686) What will I read?Witchblade,artifacts.I am,oh sorry I've ben A huge fan of Jackie and the darkness was my fav comic,I've read v1-v3 crossovers,first born everything and then THIS sad very sad.
