An okay primer and game tie-in on what The Darkness is and who Jackie Estacado is, art's okay, writing does it's job.

Great art, the story was mostly a recap but that was expected. overall a decent read.

If you plan to pick up the Darkness II video game, then you'll want to grab this Free Comic Book Day edition of Darkness II: Confession. On the whole, this book feels like a video game intro and will help anyone not familiar with the current wielder of the Darkness: Jackie Estacado.

First, give me some Michael Broussard art anytime. Second, this is a good profile of Jackie Estacado and what motivates him since learning to control the Darkness. This issue is not action driven. Rather, it includes some important exposition about the character and what he cares about.
