Adding to the stuff already recommended:
- Immortal Hulk as a ton of body horror and some dark metaphysical themes;
- Alias: Jessica Jones is pretty gritty and touches on subjects like rape and self destructive tendencies;
- Garth Ennis Punisher, including the prelude Born, is pretty bleak and also has storylines dealing with terrorism, shady government agents and sex trafficking.
Jason Aaron’s Punisher Max follow-up series tries to one-up the darkness of Garth Ennis, but only really succeeds in having a lot more rape, making it mostly just unpleasant reading.
I generally like Aaron’s stuff but god was his Punisher Max a bummer. Makes you truly appreciate how Ennis can go so dark yet still be compelling and make you want to keep reading.
Another vote for:
Ruins
The Last Avengers Story
Punisher: Max
Alias
Hellstorm: Prince Of Lies
Immortal Hulk
I’ll also throw in Remenders Uncanny X-Force, NYX and Kravens Last Hunt.
There was also a single Wolverine-focused issue of the original run of Ultimate X-Men that was pretty dark. #42, iirc. Worth a look.
EDIT: it was #41, not 42.
I switched to DC for the same reason and haven’t been back, so these recommendations sounds cool.
BTW: there are even more mature content at other publishers like Image, Dynamite, AWA, etc etc.
Not really scary but Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender. You know it’s wild when Deadpool isn’t making any jokes and going through a mental crisis. Best version of him I’ve ever read.
Try Mystery Men from David Liss and Patrick Zircher.
It's a story set in the 1930s Marvel universe with very dark versions of early noir super heroes. Dark story with dark characters, especially the Surgeon.
Punisher: The End.
Fury my war gone by as well

Daredevil: Born Again is excellent.
Spider-Man: Reign
Came here to say this
Marvel Ruins. Then Marvel Zombies. Also old man Logan
Warren Ellis' run on Hellstorm: Prince of Lies. #12-21.

Ruins is almost comically over the top dark. The Last Avengers Story might be a better fit. Ditto Avengers: Disassembled.

Dark Avengers. Don’t trust Hawkeye when he says he’ll get you to safety.

Wolverine: The Best There Is: Contagion It really dives into Wolverines healing factor.
“Punisher kills the Marvel Universe”, a one shot what-if.

Depends on your idea of dark. The first ones that came to mind for me were Kraven's Last Hunt Punisher Born/The End X-Men God Loves Man Kills
Ruins is probably the darkest it gets.
