FIRST LOOK: Jody Houser and MJ Kim Make Dreams Come True in FAITH: DREAMSIDE #1

Valiant presents your first look within the pages of FAITH: DREAMSIDE #1 (of 4), a brand-new jumping-on point and highly anticipated limited series starring Valiant’s fan-favorite fangirl! On September 26th, writer extraordinaire Jody Houser (Mother Panic, Star Wars: Thrawn) joins forces with rising star artist MJ Kim (FAITH’S WINTER WONDERLAND SPECIAL #1) to continue the adventures of Faith Herbert, the high-flying icon who’s soared her way into incredible stardom!

"Back when I was first talking about this story arc with [former Valiant Editor-in-Chief] Warren [Simons], the lynchpin idea was what it would be like for Faith to have a sidekick. The story evolved a lot after that, but Animalia was part of it from the beginning," writer Jody Houser told SYFY Wire. "Faith's hero career started with her being a part of a team. So seeing her working with heroes like Animalia and Doctor Mirage after operating on her own so much is a great way to examine how she's grown as a person."

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!
