Wesley Dodds: The Sandman #5

In "Enemy Attack," Wesley Dodds: The Sandman #5, the Sandman must go deep undercover at a military base to stop a rogue scientist from weaponizing his own chemical formulas—after a terrifying assault by the Fog leaves Vanderlyle in ruins. Written by Robert Venditti and illustrated with sharp, atmospheric precision by Riley Rossmo, the issue blends wartime tension with the personal stakes of a man fighting to prevent his legacy from becoming a tool of destruction. The cover by Rossmo captures the moment’s dread with a haunting, high-contrast vision of the Sandman in shadow.
