"In Dreams" introduces a rare, intimate glimpse into the mind of Samaritan, the hero whose unwavering dedication to saving lives leaves little room for personal joy—except in the quiet sanctuary of his dreams. Written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated with striking detail by Brent Anderson, this issue captures a moment of quiet wonder in the life of a hero who bears the weight of the world, even in sleep. The cover, a stunning piece by Alex Ross, perfectly frames the dreamlike essence of the story.
