killing Frankie and burning Jackie alive. Jackie spent two days afterward wandering around Hell while searching for Jenny until the former priest Tom Judge, bearer of another artifact called "the Rapture", came and gave him hope, a gift that allows men to exit Hell. Jackie's body was then reconstructed by the Darkness. Jackie returned to find the Franchetti mob taken over by Frankie's cousin, Paulie. Paulie was able to discover Jackie's secret, and Paulie blackmailed Jackie into doing hits for him. Along the way, Jackie learned how to construct a gun out of the Darkness. Later, Jackie turns on Paulie and takes control of the Franchetti family, eventually taking on the Triads, and fighting the Russian Mafia in Atlantic City, where he is seduced by a woman created by his own unconscious.

Jackie and Danielle Baptiste, the new bearer of the Witchblade, defend Sara from an attack of the Angelus army and get her to a safe house in a cavern. The Angelus army attacks again, defeats Jackie and the Magdalena, but they buy Sara and Dani enough time to complete the birth of Saras daughter. Sara dies in the process, but her daughter (or the Witchblade) brings her to life again, giving her half of the power of the Witchblade, Dani keeping the other half.

Some months before Jackie met the chemical engineer Professor Kirchner, who helped him to develop his darkness abilities through an improved focus and scientific knowledge. After the annihilation of the Franchetti Family, Jackie abandons the Mafia life and usurps the power in a South American country, the banana republic Sierra Muñoz, in hopes
