Jackie Estacado - Tumblr Posts
Thinking about it, this is probably a topic talked about before... But I feel like talking about it anyway!
Ever notice the similar designs between characters and just wonder what types of interactions there would be?
Here's two! One of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Death himself from the Darksiders series! And Jackie Estacado, bearer of the titular Darkness from The Darkness!
Just kinda imagine some crazy stuff going down if these were in the same vicinity. Also probably a huge knock, down drag out fight. And maybe a "common enemy" appears for both to take down after they put aside their differences.
Speaking of the similar designs, pretty sure the creators of each character both worked at Image Comics around the same time. So some talking about designs and sharing ideas probably made this kind of thing happen. Or it's just one big coincidence, I don't really know, I've never met the creator/creators of either.
One interesting thing about The Darkness is that Jackie has fought his universe's version of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The four Horsemen are more like spirits that need a mortal host to properly exist in the physical world, quite a bit like the titular Darkness.
The Darkness: Four Horsemen is only four issues long, and is about Jackie deciding getting a call from an older mob member to investigate a biker gang. The Horsemen of The Darkness are Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence. Also of note, while there is nothing overly graphic, at least from what I remember, it being about The Horsemen of the Apocalypse, it does have some more morbid and disturbing points to the overall story.
EDIT: Been re-reading The Darkness: Four Horsemen. It does have some more graphic parts, SO BE WARNED! Blood, guts, and other things will be seen!

A while ago I made a post talking about how Death from Darksiders and Jackie Estacado from Top Cow's The Darkness have similar designs, and mentioned the idea of an imaginary team-up. Now imagine the other Horsemen meeting Jackie and just the potential shenanigans that could ensue.
Fury and Strife would probably try fighting Jackie, each for their own reasons, while War just stands off to the side and ponders how there is a near-double of Death just roaming about on Earth.
Woo! New Darksiders teaser! Who else is super excited? Hope we get more news within the next couple months.
Anyways! Wanted to share another Darksiders crossover idea! Or, more like return to one particular crossover idea. The Darkness.
Oh, how interesting it would be if all the Horsemen could encounter good ol' Jackie Estacado. Strife I can imagine would probably try befriending Jackie. Fury would probably wonder what was so special about this human. War and Death would probably be cautious, just in their own ways.
Jackie however, would immediately be suspicious and on guard. Four people that he can immediately tell are of some kind of non-human nature, now taking an interest in the weird activity of New York City. He's especially suspicious once The Darkness starts cackling in his head about the chaos that will be wrought soon enough. He knows that once that thing starts going, there's a high chance that whatever it's talking about is no good.
I can imagine that maybe the Horsemen are on Earth for once, just enjoying what it's like in a modern city, and that once night falls and Jackie starts doing what he does best, that's also when the Horsemen start taking notice of The Darkness, as I like to imagine that's they may have a sort of sixth sense for things of a magical nature. Imagine if the other Artifacts, like say The Angelus, The Witchblade, The Rapture or the Spear of Destiny get brought into the equation, and the batshit insanity that may just erupt.
Oooo! Just had a neat idea for this. Imagine if like how the Spear of Destiny is... enchanted, I guess, by the blood of Jesus, imagine if in this crossover The Rapture is a portion of the Charred Council, just sort of chipped off or something. Or maybe if having the Witchblade get involved, with the Artifact being of both order and chaos, of both Light and Dark, it could be seen as like a proto‐Nephilim of sorts?
I really gotta get back to reading more of volume one of The Darkness, as it may help me get some ideas of writing something beyond just basic ideas for this crossover.

A while back i got into reading comics and when i tell you I've read so much different stuff but he's still my fav guy
Look -> depressed man
(that gun was so easy to draw i hate it)
Usually i draw in b&w and add colors right at the end (◠‿・)—☆
This time i almost left it like that, but decided to throw a couple subtle shades like it's some old comic
