Best comic book covers of the week – 22 February 2021
From the streets of Gotham to the far reaches of the Multiverse, these are the best comic book covers of the week!
Destiny 2’s Beyond Light prologue kicked off with the quiet return of the Darkness
As the servers went down, the Darkness began consuming several locations (which are now being added to the Destiny Vault) in our solar system. Mercury, Io, Titan, and Mars all went dark, taking with it numerous Raids, Strikes, and beloved characters. “This will not be the end, it will be an escalation,” Eris Morn said right as the screen faded to black and maintenance began on the game for its new expansion. The Darkness is here, and the Light is barely keeping it at bay.
Destiny 2 rumours – Next expansion called Dark Omens, will see Titan destroyed and the introduction of The Veil

We could finally be facing the age-old enemy of the Guardians, the Darkness itself, in the rumoured Dark Omens expansion.
Destiny 3 rumours point towards a Second Collapse storyline, hardcore gameplay and the return of The Darkness
Without Activision pulling their strings, Destiny 2 is in a good place right now. The recent Joker’s Wild content has been an injection of freshness into Bungie’s cosmic sandbox, overhauling Gambit and adding some interesting wrinkles to the lore of Destiny and its suddenly dicey morality. That’s not just a fascinating setup for the future of the series, but also a damn good foundation for where Destiny can go next after the Penumbra DLC launches.
Duke Nukem Forever, The Darkness and the most underrated XCOM game ever made are now backwards compatible on Xbox One
One of the more underrated features of that black box, backwards compatible games are still a treat to dive into, with the library of available titles growing every month. That collection just got three new entries: One is a shooter that happens to be glorious, the other is a game that feels simply laborious and the final entry on the list is notorious.
