In this outing, Faith Herbert, known as Zephyr, heroine with the power of flight, needs to protect friend and teammate Animalia from some very bad dreams. To do so, Faith has to enter a realm of dreams, and she enlists Dr. Mirage, a celebrity parapsychologist, to guide them. This volume collects issues 1-4 of the series.
This is another cute and entertaining volume in the Faith series. On the positive, I like the overall idea of Faith's character. She has a good heart and a positive attitude. While I do find some of her clumsiness at times a little tiresome, in part because it reinforces negative stereotypes about geeks, she always leaves us with a bit of hope and optimism. Hope and optimism are two things seriously missing from superheroes in this day and age. As before, there is not much substance here. You do get some nice escapist fun, and the comic is amusing overall. In the end, I did like it.
3 out of 5 stars.
