After decades of confinement and general brooding, a goth entity of dreams and nightmares escapes captivity. What happens next will shock you. (NOT CLICKBAIT!)

Morpheus in the first 20 issues is like that Egyptian ghost from Courage the Cowardly Dog only goth. Here, I’ll prove it to you by paraphrasing an interaction between Morpheus and John Constantine:

Morpheus: ~Return the sand~
John Constantine: What’s yer offer?!

See? The same thing.

Anyways, issue 20 was my favorite out of this bunch.

Onto the next one.
