Overview"Faith enters a previously unseen realm of the Valiant Universe! Even before Faith Herbert, AKA Zephyr, gained the power of flight, joined the Harbinger Renegades, and soared through the skies of the Valiant Universe, deep down she was always a hero at heart. But what's a hero to do in the face of a foe that exists only in nightmares? Face them head-on, of course! To protect the dreams of her teammate, Animalia, Faith must venture into a fantastical new realm the likes of which we've never seen...and she'll need some help from the world's premiere parapsychologist, Doctor Mirage, to make it back with her subconscious mind still intact! Uncover the secrets of the Dreamside as writer extraordinaire Jody Houser (FAITH, Stranger Things) and rising star MJ Kim (FAITH'S WINTER WONDERLAND SPECIAL #1) continue the adventures of the high-flying icon that Uproxx calls, ""A joy to read!"" Collecting FAITH: DREAMSIDE #1-4 and FAITH'S WINTER WONDERLAND SPECIAL #1."

Table of ContentsReviewsKIRKUS -- A female superhero dealing with personal PR issues heeds the call of a fellow hero in need of some spectral assistance. Faith Herbert isn't your ordinary young white woman: She can fly and move objects using her superpowers. However, she's in a slump after she-or rather her hero alter ego, Zephyr-was (wrongly!) accused of murder, so she's had to lie low as her alter alter ego, Summer Smith. Then, African-American teen hero Monica Jim (known as Animalia) asks for Faith's help in dealing with literal ghosts. The two seek out paranormal scientist Doctor Mirage. When the ghosts whisk Monica off to the Deadside, Faith and Doctor Mirage follow her into the spectral realm, which is waaay creepier than any of them expected, culminating in a place where lost dreams pose a very real threat. The characters have established history, but, as with most serial comic books, there's enough backstory to acquaint new readers with the stakes. At heart, Faith is a fangirl of many geekdom realms, real and world-specific, who banters like a pro. She's also large-bodied, a fact that's never critical to the narrative and thankfully never gets downplayed in the art. The illustrations are on par with any major comics label-detailed and dynamic with high color variations-and feature particularly expressive faces. For readers who are die-hard fans of superheroes, Faith is like the best self-insert fanfic while still being a totally original character.
