Marc Silvestri helped build Image Comics from the ground up and changed what comics could look like while doing it. From Cyberforce to Witchblade to The Darkness, his work inspired an entire generation of artists and fans.
In this episode, Jim Viscardi sits down with Marc to talk about those early Image days, the creative chaos that shaped Top Cow, and how mentoring artists like Michael Turner and David Finch helped push the medium forward. Then we get into The Darkness and what it’s like returning to Jackie Estacado after all these years. We talk legacy, worldbuilding, and what makes this new series feel like both a homecoming and something completely new.
