The Dreaming: Waking Hours #7

Part of DC's Black Label Sandman Universe line, this seventh issue of The Dreaming: Waking Hours continues "Intermezzo, Part 2" with writer G. Willow Wilson and the triple-threat artistic talents of Javier Rodríguez handling pencils, inks, and colors throughout. Nick Robles's cover artwork sets a luminous, otherworldly mood — a pale, silver-haired figure stands poised amid swirling dark tendrils, wielding a long staff in one hand while cradling a small golden winged creature in the other, with a raven perched watchfully nearby. It's a beautifully composed image that captures the dreamlike tension and wonder at the heart of this Sandman Universe series.
