Though non-canonical as such, the story appears to take take place in a universe where a number of Carl Barks's stories (up to 1958) happened, allowing 12 years' gap between the last Barks story and the events of Return to Duckburg Place. Post-1958 stories notably appear null and void, with no trace of Magica De Spell in the apocalyptic Duckburg; reference is made to "grisly" events happening as early as 1962...

Unfortunately the tide has turned against mutant kind and the Angel finds himself up against a mutant killing robot, who during a chase ends up crumpling mysteriously.

As well as the five issues of the main miniseries, there was also a tie-in one-shot, Total Eclipse: The Seraphim Project, which focused on the Liberty Project, one of the teams involved in the crossover, whose own serieshad recently been cancelled. Strike, whose series had also been cancelled, was killed in the final issue of Total Eclipse. Apart from this, however, unlike most line-wide crossovers, the regular series the various protagonists came from were not involved in the crossover, allowing readers of those series to read or ignore Total Eclipse, as they preferred, without it impinging on the ongoing stories in those comics.

THE SHADOW is a character that has lasted through decades on the pages of pulp magazines, over the radio airwaves, thru the silver screen, and in the panels of comic books. Shrouded in mystery, his origins have been explored and hinted at over the years...but never fully revealed. Much is known of Kent Allard/Lamont Cranston's years spent in the Orient and Central America-wherein he gains his powers and purpose...but not how he first developed his persona as the Master of Darkness. Eisner Award-winning author, Matt Wagner is joined by artist Wilfredo Torres in an exhilarating 8-issue limited series that will explore the dynamic events that first drew Cranston back to the States, how he first met his companion and lover, Margo Lane, how he began to assemble his vast network of agents and how he first adopted the famous black hat and cloak as his alter-ego's disguise-all secrets that, up until now...only The Shadow knew!
