Synopsis for "The Day Before"

Captain Marvel is called to the Rock of Eternity by the Wizard Shazam because he sensed that something is wrong but could not pinpoint the exact problem. However, he instructs William Batson to tell the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America to prepare. Suddenly, the Wizard simply collapsed. Captain Marvel, after helping the Wizard in his chair, left to assemble the JLA and JSA to prepare for possible problem. As Captain Marvel leaves, the statues of the Seven Deadly Sins' heads faced the Wizard. Suddenly the Wizard sees his foe from behind and tries to shield himself but failed.

In the Tower of Fate, Doctor Fate is studying magic guided by the Helmet of Fate and entertains Zatanna, who was checking out Zatara's biography from Fate's library. As Zatanna left the Tower, Doctor Fate suddenly felt a shiver shooting up his spine at the same time the Wizard collapsed at the Rock of Eternity.
