The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country - The Glass House #4

Reiko Murakami's cover for this fourth installment of The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country — The Glass House is quietly haunting — a dark-haired figure cradles a smaller, seemingly vulnerable person against a backdrop of deep blue, twisting tendrils that feel equal parts protective and threatening. The tenderness in that embrace reads as desperate rather than comforting, perfectly tuned to the unsettling dreamscape tone James Tynion IV and artist Lisandro Estherren have been building throughout the series. If you've been following this DC Black Label story, issue four promises to keep the emotional stakes as sharp as ever.
