But to save his daughter, he’ll pay any price—including genocide. Collects issues #1-6.

About this title

About the Author:

Mike Carey got into writing through comic books, where his horror/fantasy series Lucifer garnered numerous international awards and was nominated for five Eisners. From there he moved into novels and screenplays, while still maintaining a presence in the comics world (he is currently writing two of Marvel's flagship titles, X-Men and Ultimate Fantastic Four). His movie Frost Flowers, an erotic ghost story, is currently in production with Hadaly/Bluestar Pictures. He lives in London, England, about as far as you can get from the centre of the city and still have access to the London Underground train network. His wife, Linda, writes fantasy for young readers under the pseudonym A.J. Lake. They have three children and an implausibly beautiful cat.

Other feature films he has produced include Tormented starring Alex Pettyfer and French Film starring Hugh Bonneville and Manchester United football legend Eric Cantona. French Film won Best Actor for Bonneville and Best Screenplay for Aschlin Ditta at the 2008 Monte Carlo Film Festival. David also won Best Adaptation at the 2007 LA Weekly Theater Awards for Dirk, based on Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams.

Review:

"Carey and David's writing is simultaneously straightforward and layered. At once this is a police story with a terrorist angle, but it is also a science-fiction/supernatural story with a lot of exposition. These storytellers are creating an entirely new and unique universe." –ComicWOW! TV

“Darkness Visible is the supernatural police book I didn’t know I wanted. It mixes elements of exciting cop shows with horror and a bit of family drama to make a compelling comic.” –Horror Talk
