Ruin has traveled to Worlds’ End to seek help from the denizen of the Dreaming who set him free in the first place…unfortunately, Brute and Glob have followed him there-on the orders of Dream himself! And back in the Dreaming, Lindy has taken on the challenge of discovering who the “true” Shakespeare is, via a staging of the apocryphal play The Birth Of Merlyn. But when you tell a tale inside the Dreaming, it has a strange way of becoming very real indeed…

    When I started reading this series, I thought I had a grasp on the what to expect from G. Willow Wilson's story. However, having reached The Dreaming; Waking Hours #4, I have to admit I that I haven't a clue what to expect from the remaining eight issues – but I'm loving every moment of it. This is one of the strangest, but most compelling stories I have ever read. Read Full Review

    OverallThe Dreaming: Waking Hours continues to be a monthly treat. The story is lots of fun with some great twists and turns. In Lindy, we have a character who is easy to relate to as she tries to find the great almighty OZ. As in the real William Shakespeare. Lindy's journey into Shakespeare's world very much has the feeling of Alice going through the Looking Glass. Read Full Review

    Multiversity Comics - Elias Rosner

    Nov 09, 2020

    A gorgeous book that continues to ask great questions and develop new characters with longevity held back by a chapter that seems listless and unsure of how to kill time before the finale. Read Full Review
