After #DC’s #InfiniteCrisis we got #Checkmate, #Shadowpact & #SecretSix from #OmMACProject, #DayOfVengeance, & #VillainsUnited. What title should we have got in place of #RANNThanagarWar? IMO I’d prefer a #LEGION/REBELS earlier than what we got. Maybe an #OmegaMen book. But that’s just my opinion.

Shadowpact’s LAST STAND! The Epic Finale, Sales Crash & Creator Insights You’ve Never Heard! #comics Step into the Oblivion Bar, because this is the ultimate deep dive into Shadowpact Vol. 1 #25 (2008) — the explosive, magic-soaked finale of one of DC’s most underrated supernatural teams. This isn’t just a recap… this is the full story: the creators, the history, the behind-the-scenes decisions, the sales collapse, the ads, the 2008 DC landscape, and the legacy that Shadowpact left behind across the DC Universe. In this video, I break down the final issue of the Burning Age era, exploring the god-level threat of the Sun King, Blue Devil’s brutal choice, the cross-time convergence of multiple Shadowpact teams, and how the magicians of DC literally join forces across centuries to stop the destruction of the universe. You’ll hear exclusive insights from the people who helped shape this comic — including writer Lilah Sturges and legendary letterer Sal Cipriano, who share memories of working on the book and how Shadowpact came together creatively. We also explore each creator’s history, including the careers of: Phil Winslade Michael Atiyeh Tom Derenick Wayne Faucher Editors Joey Cavalieri & Stephanie Buscema Executive Editor Dan DiDio And Shadowpact creator Bill Willingham Plus: • Why Shadowpact was cancelled • What DC sales looked like in 2008 • How Shadowpact fits into the magical lineage that eventually led to Justice League Dark • Where these characters appeared afterward • What the 2008 ads reveal about the era • The bizarre fact that Enchantress, Blue Devil, and Ragman all eventually reached live-action media I also share my own experience reading the full 25-issue run, why this finale worked, and why this team deserves a comeback. If you're a fan of DC’s occult corners — from Detective Chimp to Zauriel to Enchantress — you’re in the right place. Grab a drink at the Oblivion Bar and let’s break down the end of Shadowpact. 💬 What’s your favorite Shadowpact character or storyline?
