Every dream has its price, what will you pay?
What would a Wednesday be without Image Comics debuting what looks like a genre-twisting new series? This week looks it looks like readers will be getting quite the delight in Black Cloud #1, a series where every person’s dream is linked to a different world and everyone’s dreams are for sale if the price is right. Dark and trippy days are coming in this epic noir fantasy featuring an exiled dream who’s trapped in our realm. With a lovely nod, her name is Zelda.
Scribes Jason Latour (Spider-Gwen, Southern Bastards, Ivan Brandon (Drifter), artist Greg Hinkle (Rattler, Airboy) and colors by Matt Wilson (The Wicked + The Divine) introduce Zelda as someone who was bon in a world of dreams. Hers though were apparently too big and burned too bright than her world could handle. So, she’s been kicked over to our plane of existence but she apparently holds the key to getting back into her world, where dreams go to war, and some lose.
Stuck in our world, Zelda carries with her broken dreams and needs a way to survive. Enter the rich and powerful, who are willing to pay for the pieces if they’re for sale. Dealing in a new black market of make-believe, where everyone’s story is literally magic, Zelda soon is on the run from more than just her own world before long.
The world we know is about to intersect with the worlds we can only imagine. When they collide, who will be safe, will Zelda be able to create safe passage home, and what new dreams will dare to be crafted? The power lies in the dreamer…until the dreams decide they’ve had enough.
