David Hine, Jeremy Haun Reunite on THE DARKNESS

David Hine (THE BULLETPROOF COFFIN, DISTRICT X) and Jeremy Haun (NEW EXCALIBUR, ARKHAM REBORN) reunite to take over THE DARKNESS from writer Phil Hester (WONDER WOMAN) begining with issue #101. The duo had worked before on DETECTIVE COMICS #864-870.


“From issue # 101, I'll be the regular writer on THE DARKNESS, one of the best and longest-running independent books out there. I'll be teamed with Jeremy Haun, one of the most talented artists I've worked with. And I'm dreading it!” said Hine. “To write a character like Jackie Estacado you have to go into some very dark and ugly places on a daily basis. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it...”

“I couldn’t have been more excited when I found out we were able to get David on THE DARKNESS long term. He is one of those writers that perfectly balances story with character. He understands the inner workings of his characters and really knows how to tap into their darkness, if you’ll forgive the pun,” explained Haun. “I’ve wanted to have an extended run on a series for years now, THE DARKNESS is the perfect place for me to do that. David and I are working hard to build a story that is true to the property, but at the same time, really kicks up the horror elements of the book.”

THE DARKNESS #101 is scheduled for a March 2012 release.
