"Black Pieces" delivers a pivotal moment in the Countdown Special: Eclipso #1, where the fractured soul of Jim Corrigan is guided back from despair by Madame Xanadu, Ramban, and Father Craemer, while the Phantom Stranger, Zatanna, Doctor Fate, and Etrigan race to stop the eclipsed Spectre from unleashing planetary destruction. Written by John Ostrander and illustrated with haunting precision by Tom Mandrake—whose inks and Carla Feeny’s colors heighten the tension—this issue unites two powerful ensembles in a battle of wills and redemption.

In "Final Judgments," the spectral burden of Jim Corrigan weighs heavy as Madame Xanadu, Ramban, and Father Craemer guide his tormented soul through grief, while the Phantom Stranger, Zatanna, Doctor Fate, and Etrigan race to stop the eclipsed Spectre from unleashing planetary destruction. With both forces converging, the Spectre wrests control from Eclipso’s influence, confronting the ultimate test of justice—and choosing mercy over vengeance.
