In "Chapter One: Dusk," the looming threat of the Sun-Eater forces Dusk to rally the superhero community as Earth's light begins to fade. With Mr. Miracle preparing to use a Boom Tube and a team of heat- and light-based heroes attempting a daring decoy, the stakes rise in a desperate bid to save the sun. Written by Karl Kesel and illustrated with striking intensity by Stuart Immonen—his dynamic pencils rendered in ink by José Marzán Jr.—this pivotal moment in The Final Night sets the stage for a battle against cosmic darkness, with colors by Lee Loughridge and letters by Gaspar. The cover, also by Immonen and Marzán Jr., captures the moment of impending eclipse.
