And so, the Vertigo label is gone from this and I suppose any other new issues at DC to be replaced by “Black Label.” Isn’t that scotch whiskey?

As one might expect, things are not going well for some of The Dreaming’s key figures. Cain is missing, and Abel finds himself unable to go on without the routines of the past. The new ruler of The Dreaming, Wan, the mothlike creature reportedly made of computer code, seems to be losing control. Matthew the raven, the eyes of Wan, is seeing things that disturb him, such as Merv Pumpkinhead playing an odd kind of golf. Perhaps most disturbed is Lucien the librarian when he finds out his library has been digitized. Back on Earth, things are equally askew.

A new storyline falls into play. I’m liking it so far. Recommended.
