The Darkness descends on San Diego Comic-Con
If you have a list of panels and booths you want to hit during the San Diego Comic-Con, here's another one to consider. 2K Games is hosting a panel titled "Spreading the Darkness: From Comic Book to Video Games and Entertainment." It will feature discussions about The Darkness II by talent from Top Cow and Digital Extremes and is scheduled for Thursday, July 21 from 12:00 - 1:00 Pacific in room 9. The panel will look at the expansion of The Darkness from a comic to videogame as an entertainment medium. Marc Silvestri, CEO of Top Cow and co-creator of the comic, will be joined by Top Cow president Matt Hawkins and Darkness II project director Sheldon Carter from Digital Extremes. There's going to be other guest speakers, but they are being kept a secret. 2K is also bringing a demo of the game, playable at the Top Cow booth (#2629). Anyone who plays will get to try out the quad-wielding, which translates to more slaughter. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Ohai, Death from Darksiders and Casey Jones in header. But can't wait for this game, I really enjoyed the first one. @frankenson. There have been Darkness comics for 15yrs. I believe Darksiders has only been around for a couple years @Laby: thanks. I feel old now. Has it really been that damn long? Thought it was more like 10. Anyways, I'm really tempted to go, but don't wanna make the 6hr drive. I've been falling out of love with comics for awhile. Only the indies seem to hold my interest, and my main drive to go to this is for games. Decisions.... @phil lol yeah jackie was originally in the witchblade in '96 and then had his ongoing later that year. I was 10 when i started reading the darkness now i feel old too lol ive stuck with image and dark horse ever since. The only marvel i read is thor, cap, iron man andsecret warriors but im still into a loy of DC Recently finished the first one and I loved it. Can't wait for Darkness II to get released. Also Mike Patton as The Darkness is awesome. Does Jackie get to wear his full-on Darkness costume in the new game? I loved the first one, but wandering around dressed like the trenchcoat mafia was kind of dorky. 6:00 AM on 05.21.2013 BioShock Infinite's alternate ending is less depressingAre we past the point where I can stop warning people about spoilers?
