That was my first thought, bruising.

Could be some blood veins too. If it smelled good before and after cooking I would eat it.
Did you purchase them from a Rocky Balboa wannabe? Bruises are my best guess also.
Oh gawd, it's the dreaded Black Pork of Death, just touching it has doomed you to a horrible painful death...or...
Looks like cooked blood to me, more than likely, blood did not get drained from the carcass at slaughter, and it coagulated along that area. Once cooked, it turned blackish, sort of like Black pudding/blood sausage

That pig was probably hit with a cattle prod in the ribs close to the time of his demise. they cause deep tissue bruising.

+1 on the bruises, that is mild compared to a huge abscess that I cut into once on a beef primal. Apparently it was missed at the packing house. Remembering gives me the willies... 
Made me vegetarian for a day or two.

I think this ecchymosis which is similar to bruising but not caused by 'trauma'. It is blood leaking out of small blood vessels brought on by preslaughter stress.
As long as it smelt fine prior to cooking it should have no impact on eating!

Looks like black bone. You see it in chicken wings a lot. It's when the product has been frozen, thawed, frozen, thawed. Someone earlier in the post mentioned this also.

yeah, um chickens get leukemnia too.
plus you ever wonder how they get so many chicken wings for wing joints but where do all the rest of the chicken bodies go? cancer, that's where
