This zero issue serves as a prelude to the Dying of the Light limited series, expanding the Soulfire universe created by Michael Turner. The story, written by J.T. Krul with artwork by Micah Gunnell, introduces readers to a world where magic is fading, and a mysterious disease threatens the existence of magical beings. The narrative sets the stage for the ensuing battle to preserve the remnants of magic in a world on the brink of transformation.

For collectors, this issue was also available in a San Diego Comic-Con Special Limited Edition, limited to 1,500 copies, with a sale date of July 14, 2005
