In a surprising turn of events, The Dreaming -- writer Si Spurrier and artist Bilquis Evely's DC Comics series set within the Neil Gaiman-curated Sandman Universe -- will come to an end this April with issue #20.
DC Comics has released its solicitations for April 2020, with The Dreaming #20's solicit revealing that the Black Label title is coming to a close for the time being. The comic, which first launched in September of 2018, takes place in, well, the Dreaming -- a kingdom left to fend for itself in the absence of its overseer, Dream of the Endless (the Sandman himself).
The Dreaming #20 teases the citizens of the Dreaming making their final stand against the artificial intelligence trying to replace their existence with one of "cold rationality." What's more, the issue will finally reveal what exactly became of Dream while all this was going on.
Written by Si Spurrier and illustrated by Bilquis Evely, The Dreaming #20 goes on sale April 1 from DC Comics. The full solicitation information, as well as Yanick Paquette's cover, can be found below.
