The immortal witch Thessaly has interjected herself into the brewing storm between heaven and hell, the waking world and dreams-and there are powerful forces who demand she pay in blood for her meddling. Thessaly, however, only has eyes for the mystery of Flynn and the Smiling Man. As for the Corinthian?

    Estherren delivers fantastic art throughout the issue. I love the depiction of the Dreaming and how brilliantly, visually inviting it is. Read Full Review

    This has been a much slower-burn story than Tynion usually writes, but it's clear he loves this mythos and is probably creating the best new story in it since Gaiman. Read Full Review

    The gap between issues did not help at all and it took a bit for me to remember some of what was going on and to get back into the groove of it all. I still enjoy the story a lot as Tynion is capturing some of the essence of the original work in a good way while playing around some of the edges. The artwork continues to appeal in presenting this kind of Vertigo-era kind of world and that hits a sweet spot for me combined with the cover designs. I do like the story and what it's doing but the gap did some damage that makes me envious of eventual collection readers that will be able to just go through it without missing a beat and see the threads more clearly.

    The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country - The Glass House #4 continues to be fantastic and horrifying. Tynion is masterfully laying down the pieces to an intriguing mystery. Though the story is progressing, there is the sense that the characters really are in the dark with everything. Dream being in the dark with the other characters even seems possible because of Tynions writing. Whatever comes next is going to be a complete surprise to everyone including the reader.
