Countdown to Mystery Vol 1 1
From DC Database
"More Pain Comics (Part I) - Descent into the Psychosphere"
"Occultation (Part I) - A Syzygy in Plastic"
Every journey -- even one to the edge of existence and realms beyond -- must come to an end. Whether the terminus is a place on a map, a marker on the path of life, or a state of being, every traveler gets there... sooner or later. By intention or fluke. By serendipity or misfortune. Through random chance, or inexorable -- Fate.

Notes
- Countdown to Mystery is an eight-issue limited series that ties in with the weekly Countdown title.
- The events from this issue coincide with events chronicled in Countdown #32.
- This issue contains flashbacks to events that took place during the Day of Vengeance limited series and the five Helmet of Fate one-shot specials.
Trivia
- Originally, Doctor Fate was scheduled to debut in his own ongoing comic book series slated for April of 2007. Due to health reasons, Steve Gerber was unable to commit to the project at that time, and it was repackaged as the primary story-arc for the Countdown to Mystery series.
