| Notes = * This issue is reprinted in the Shadowpact: Pentacle Plot (Collected) 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 * Valda's T-Shirt reads "Charlie Magnus Rocks". "Charlie Magnus" is the Anglicized name of Charlemagne), who was King of the Franks in the Early Middle Ages. Valda is originally from that period. | Recommended = * Blue Devil #1-31, Annual #1 * Day of Vengeance #1-6, Special #1 * Infinite Crisis #1-7 * Phantom Stranger (Volume 1) #1-6 * Phantom Stranger (Volume 2) #1-41 * Phantom Stranger (Volume 3) #1-4 * Ragman (Volume 1) #1-5 * Ragman (Volume 2) #1-8 * Ragman (Volume 3) #1-6 | Links =
