Good Value,

This review is from: The Darkness Ultimate Collection (Paperback)
This collection contains "The Darkness vol. 1 issues 1 - 6 & 40, along with The Darkness vol. 2 issues 1 - 6. The two arcs collected here are known as "Coming of Age" and "Ressurrection" respectively.
The first arc is written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Marc Silvestri, while the second is handled by Paul Jenkins and Dale Keown. Overall, I found the Ennis/Silvestri stories to be superior, however, the second arc was interesting as well. I thought this collection was a good value at less than $10. and is a good place to start if you've never read The Darkness before.

Not so great a start if you're new to the series,
This review is from: The Darkness Ultimate Collection (Paperback)
It covers the very beginning of the series and the story arc that the game was based off of. The only thing I didn't like was that it goes from issue 6 to 40 in volume 1 and skips all the stuff in-between. If you are new to the series, it's better to buy a different product if you don't want to jump ahead in the story.

This review is from: The Darkness Ultimate Collection (Paperback)
Overall, this is a really great book. It provides a summary of the darkness and gives you enough information for you to start reading the ongoing series vol. 3 (incase you didn't know, vol.3 of the darkness just started). If you really liked the videogame, and you don't wanna read the darkness:levels (since it's just a graphic novel version of the videogame), then this is the perfect book to buy. It includes two different story arcs, coming of age and ressurection, which are the beginnings to vol.1 of the darkness and vol.2. Coming of Age is very good but the other 30 some issues of volume 1 are for the most part very bad. Ressurection is very good also, along with the rest of volume 2. In coming of age, the story is much more "comic booky" and is not serious at all. Ressurection, which i found better, is more serious and character driven. Also, the way the darkness is displayed in Ressurection is much better because in coming of age jackie estacado wears a costume and the darklings are always making jokes and dressing up, while in ressurection, jakie doesn't wear a costume and the darklings are much more grim.
