Justice League Dark # 23.2: Eclipso # 1 3D Lenticular Motion Cover 2013 NM

Justice League Dark #23.2: Eclipso #1 (2013) is a special tie-in issue titled "Soul Shadows". Released in September 2013, this book was part of DC Comics' month-long "Villains Month" initiative tied to the Forever Evil crossover event. Rather than focusing on the standard Justice League Dark team, this standalone issue reintroduces and reimagines the classic dark spirit [Eclipso] for The New 52 continuity.

Key Storyline Points

• The Disgraced Scientist: The narrative follows Dr. Gordon Jacobs, a once-prominent solar energy scientist who has been completely ruined and socially isolated after a catastrophic project failure known as the "Solar City disaster".
• The Black Diamond Arrives: Desperate to reclaim his lost glory, fiancée, and status, Jacobs receives a mysterious package containing the powerful [Black Diamond].
• Unleashing Eclipso: Upon making contact with the relic, Jacobs is flooded with visions of the Black Diamond's history throughout The New 52 history (including its ties to Demon Knights and Team 7). The dark entity Eclipso exploits Jacobs' intense desperation and takes control of his body.
• A New Position of Power: Unlike typical mindless possessions, Jacobs' intellect remains intact, leaving him mistakenly believing he is still in control. The issue ends with Eclipso successfully using Jacobs as a host to inherit a highly prosperous, influential corporation, positioning the villain in a terrifying new seat of societal power.
