The Dreaming #7

Part of DC's Sandman Universe imprint, The Dreaming #7 kicks off "Love, Part 1" with a cover by Jae Lee that perfectly sets the mood — a pink-haired, tattooed young woman leans close to a pale, ethereal figure rendered in ghostly whites, the two sharing an intimate, ambiguous moment against a stark background. The tender yet unsettling chemistry between them captures exactly the kind of dreamy emotional tension this series does so well. With Simon Spurrier writing and Abigail Larson on art, this 2019 Vertigo title continues to earn its reputation as genuinely great storytelling.
