Darkness / Wolverine #1 - Top Cow / Marvel

It seems only obvious that these 2 characters who have been around as long as they have, would have crossed paths at some time or another. Now we know that Wolverine was around during the World War's, Fury and Cap have both made reference to his involvment and influence. And we know that the Darkness energy has been in the world for a long time. Although it's not the specific weilder of it now that Logan would've come across, it would have been an ancestor, since the power is passed down from generation to generation. So we see where Logan, in a bar of course, comes across the current weilder's grandfather. He has come looking for Logan. The third reich is upset because they don't know alot about him, except that since he's shown up, the French Resistance has become a much greater thorn in their side. And what they don't know or understand, they eliminate. Logan of course eludes him, and although I'm sure they gave each other a merry chase around Europe, we jump to the present day. Where of course Logan is in a bar again, and the Darkness energy recognizes him. They tell Jackie that, because of family honor, he needs to take Logan down because he killed his grandfather. The Darkness takes it upon itself to attack Wolverine, but of course Logan puree's it. During all this, we also see flashbacks of Logan going around Europe and hunting down the people possessed by the Darkness, and taking them out. Usually as the grandfather is looking on, from a distance, trying to figure out himself how to take down his nemesis. Logan then calls Jackie out, who is now in full Darkness gear. The Darkness is urging him to finish him, but then he says, "NO! We're not doing this. The guy you had a beef with years ago? That would be my grandfather . . . . who was probably a piece of crap of the highest order like every other member of my family and deserved whatever it was you did to him . . . . so am I gonna kill you. . . . or, even worse, get myself killed. . . . over the likes of him and some misplaced family honor? Not a chance! I control the Darkness. . . . it don't control me." They then sit down and have a beer together.
