The Dreaming #6

Whatever happens, Ill be waiting with bated breath for my next sleep and trip to The Dreaming in the next perfect issue. Read Full Review

The Dreaming is a visionary delight in comics storytelling. Issue #6 is not only proof of that, but it's yet another example of it from a series that has been everything you'd expect from DC Vertigo. If this issue was the sirens song count me as one of those jumping overboard for more. Read Full Review

Bilquis Evelys art is astoundingly beautiful. Every page was a visual feast and there was never a moment when the art wasnt in lock step with the pace and tone of the story. There was so much to enjoy visually in this issue. Read Full Review

Yet, I find myself forgiving difficulty tracking the page to page flow because of the sheer ambition and scope of the Spurrier's and Evely's epic tale. The final act throws an entirely wrench into the narrative and it is increasingly clear that this is a creative duo that is willing to boldly stake a claim to the Sandman sandbox and stick the landing for the most.

Simon Spurrier's reinvention of the world of The Sandman concludes its first arc in The Dreaming #6 with a game-changing twist that upends the entire concept of the series. Read Full Review

Spurrier and Evely are putting their all into this and it shows. It's imaginative in a way that I wasn't expecting. This is a top quality book from the covers by Jae Lee, right up until the last page. It's now a question of "Are they will be able to continue this book and maintain it like this?" I'm thinking so.

The Dreaming caps off its opening arc and the state of The Dreaming itself very well here. It's a little muddled at times and chaotic considering the scale of events but I suspect that with re-reads of it and the run as a whole so far that it'll come together even better. I really like what Spurrier is doing and am excited for the potential of what's to come as it's open-ended. This installment also works wonderfully because of the artwork and layouts as it tries to capture that surreal aspect of the dreamscape and does so incredibly well all while handling such complex characters and situations, bringing to life this realm for a new audience.

The Dreaming is a joy to read, but is likely to be even more rewarding now that this first arc is complete. Read Full Review

The Dreaming is great storytelling. Read Full Review

Although the setting and most of the characters of The Dreaming are familiar, the story has definitely pushed into new territory. This adds an intriguing dimension to the story. It is not just a comfortable rehash of the original series, but a new story that is free to wander in unexpected directions. Will it be as good as the original? That remains to be seen, but the potential is there for it to match and even surpass its previous iteration. Read Full Review

It's the cataclysmic face-off between Dora and Judge Gallows! No quarter will be given! No corner of the Dreaming will be spared! Things will conclude, but still be weird, so there's no real transition. Sort of like when you're dreaming. Read Full Review

I used to really dislike Dora, and I still kinda do, but this almost made me want to tolerate her.

I imagine Dora showing weakness and inner thoughts will turn a lpt of people off of the character and the book, bur as someone who deals with similar thoughts (mostly) I kind or relate to her, much like Jessica Cruz and her anxiety. The rest of the book was good as always, but I kind of wish Abel didn't kill Cain. That's just wrong

I thought this was good. I'm interested to see what happens next. Which I think may be a first?
