Synopsis: Superman discovers a large globe of pure hemoglobin surrounding the small suburban town of Riverrock, Wyoming. Green Lantern and the Phantom Stranger arrive to assist Superman, but are thus far unable to penetrate the bubble. The Phantom Stranger informs the other heroes that the bubble appeared over a year ago.

Inside Rivverock, an evil group of villains known as the Pentacle hold the entire town hostage. The Pentacle's leader, Strega, demands that the community give up select individuals as part of a human sacrifice.

The Phantom Stranger sends an astral projection of himself to the various members of the Shadowpact, enlisting their aid in investigating this mystery. With the Stranger's help, they succeed in piercing the barrier and begin investigating the town. Almost immediately, Nightshade runs afoul of Sister Shadow.

Notes

This issue is reprinted in the Shadowpact: The Pentacle Plot trade paperback.

The emergence of the Pentacle in Riverrock, Wyoming is a sign of the coming of the 10th Age of Magic.

Trivia

Ragman suggests that Blue Devil should keep his horns filed back, "like that red guy in the movies." The red guy in question is the Mike Mignola character, Hellboy. Although Ragman is speaking specifically of the Hellboy movie, the character originated from a creator-owned limited series published by Dark Horse Comics.
