A lost dream has returned to the Dreaming to rally the troops against the rule of Wan-but without Dream himself, do his subjects have the strength they need to prevail? Or has the unconsciousness of humankind already been changed forever?
It's a thrilling issue in its own right, a rousing set up for the finale, and a satisfying set of revelations for longtime Sandman fans. Read Full Review
With The Dreaming #19 being the final issue of the issue, it's hardly an ideal jumping on point for new readers. But, if you haven't been reading this series, I urge you to seek out the back issues or at least read the trade paperbacks when they come out. This story has proven to be a worthy continuation of Gaiman's Sandman story, and I look forward to reading its concluding chapter next month. Read Full Review
A cathartic and beautiful beginning to Spurrier & Evely's finale. Read Full Review
The Dreaming #19 finally sees the Dreaming back in the hands of its inhabitants. With Lucien back, it is now time to confront Wan in an exciting issue that boasts gorgeous scenes that feel too big for a comic book.

Its dense plotting and spectacular visuals are its selling point, but it'll be interesting to see if Wilson's new take can create a stronger personal connection. Read Full Review
While the book offers up some interesting ideas it also comes at a point where I've really struggled hard over the last few issues to even get past the lettering in the book in order to understand what's going on. We've had some great artwork throughout the run and this issue is no exception but it's also piling up close to that realm where so much is going on that it's all becoming noise at this point. There are pieces that I like but the flow of it as a whole simply leaves me anxious to see it done so I can close out this chapter of it and lament for the lack of Dreaming that will be in my life.

An easy perfect score for this issue. The artwork was amazing and the way this issue brought together the entire complex story from issue #1 was done superbly.
Nice.
I really don't agree with the basic theme of this comic. I don't particularly care either. But it's mostly well written, aside from some definite pacing issues. But I think those come from this run being artificially extended by two issues.
