Jan 04, 2020Simon Spurrier's run on The Dreaming has given us a story that lives up to Neil Gaiman's original Sandman story. He has managed to give us a fun ride, now it just remains to be seen if he can bring it to a satisfying conclusion. Read Full Review

Jan 07, 2020The ending tease is something that the series has certainly needed earlier than this to establish things better but at the same time I understand why they kept separate for so long and that beings of this nature do not act quickly at all. Spurrier has a lot going on here and I'm not following all of it anymore as things feel more complex than they need to be at times. But I'm enjoying various character stories since they're smaller and easier to connect with, making for a more engaging time. And with such rich and gorgeous artwork as we get, even if there was no story it would be worth it just for that alone. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Nick Devonald
Jan 02, 2020Another great issue, making this series another great issue in the Sandman Universe. The characterisation has been fantastic and I love seeing where the characters are going, even if it does seem to be to new depths. While everything seems to be coming to a head it’s difficult to know where it’s going to go and what will happen next. And it’s this mystery, this unknown, which helps bring me back issue after issue to find out what’s coming. Read Full Review

Jan 11, 2020The Dreaming #17 is a heartbreaking and suspenseful nail biter. A lot happens but nothing feels rushed or brushed over. This issue may be one of my favorites from the series. Pick this issue up at your local comic book shop or wherever you get comics. Read Full Review
