The Dreaming: Waking Hours #9 is another fantastic chapter in G. Willow Wilson and Nick Robles' followup to Neil Gaiman's classic. Wilson's story has hit every note perfectly so far, and I fully expect that she will continue to do so. Read Full Review

If you haven’t been keeping up with this series I would highly suggest you catch up on it. There is a reason that The Dreaming: Waking Hours is part of the DC Black Label imprint and the art in this story takes full advantage. The first arc is available in trade but at least go back and pick up issues 7 and 8 to get you caught up to this part of the story. The first arc will introduce you to the characters but you do learn a lot about them in this arc. I really can’t say enough positive things about this book. This is one of my favorite stories from DC right now. Read Full Review
