Come on, what's the harm in being honest? It became obvious over the past few months that sales were hitting the bottom of the tank.Was it the plan from the beginning to end with "Darkness" #116?
No, the plan was to keep the story rolling, but over the past few months it has become obvious that we are headed for some extreme events that demand a conclusion to Jackie's story. We are heading for a powerful climax that can't simply end with "Continued next month…" Issue #116 is the end of the monthly series, but not quite the end of the story.
I've been reading all the Top Cow since Artifacts and Darkness was the weakest title. It's been 11-12 issues and we're still kind of going over the same story. I'm not sad it's ending.
