Episode 4 - It's Reactionary Gourd Season, Motherf*ckers
Amber and Josh are at odds over what to think about Merv Pumpkinhead, who we follow in issue #2 of The Dreaming (by Simon Spurrier, Bilquis Evely, and Mat Lopes.) Is he a pumpkin pushed too far by forces outside his control or is he just a jerk-o-lantern with his head stuck in a pumpkin patch? We also look back at The Dreaming '96 Special #1, featuring the first Sandman Universe appearance of Judge Gallows, whose terrifying brand of frontier "justice" upsets the status quo of The Dreaming and reveals the unsettling function Cain & Abel serve for our collective unconscious. TW/CW: Horrible f*cking judges.
