Oh this is where the series starts to pick up from what reads as single issues to more of it's own series.

I forgot how good this second volume. The story of the Dream King slowly picks up pace as he is looking for his escaped nightmares that have left the dreaming and hiding on the mortal realm which in turn leads him to finding out that there is a dream vortex that may disrupt everything just as he's getting it all back...
