BRIEFLY
* Top Cow has announced that writer David Hine will join artist Jeremy Haun as the creative of The Darkness beginning with March's #101.
"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 couldnÕt have been more excited when I found out we were able to get David on The Darkness long term," Haun said. "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 youÕll forgive the pun.
"IÕve 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.Ó
Hine and Haun will pick up the story of Jackie Estacado after the events of Artifacts #13, which Top Cow promises will alter the status quo of the Top Cow Universe irrevocably.
