Witchblade: Darkness Falls: The Death of Jackie Estacado [2015] David Hine | Gabriel Raerte

 

Witchblade #180 ends the story that began in the Artifact series. Jackie Estacado remade his world by sacrificing his daughter and bringing her back along with his long dead girlfriend Jenny. Now Jackie has allied himself with the Ancient Ones to bring the Darkness to Earth. Now Sara Pezzini must convince or stop him permanently with the help of Aram the former Darkness. However Sara confronts her former daughter Hope only to realize that Jackie did not bring back Hope but only a new Hope out of Darkness. The ending of the issue is strong as it simplifies the events of the Artifact series confirming Jackie didn’t bring back his daughter Hope at all.
