Bringing back what CBR calls “one of Marvel’s oddest characters” back into the fold, “Infinity Countdown: Darkhawk” writers Chris Sims and Chad Bowers, (the latter a Multiversity Comics alum) will team up with artist Todd Nauck (“Spider-Man/Deadpool”) for “Infinity Wars: Sleepwalker.” Created by Bob Budiansky and Bret Blevins, Sleepwalker first appeared in “Sleepwalker” #1 in 1991.
For those unfamiliar with this ’90s character, Sleepwalker is the protector of the ‘Mindscape,’ a world in between the dreams of humans. After his arch-enemy Cobweb, tricks him, Sleepwalker becomes attached to the mind of Rick Sheridan. Now whenever Rick goes to sleep, Sleepwalker can materialize in reality and fight crime.
Sims, Bowers, and Nauck’s new miniseries will explore how the events in “Infinity Wars” have radically changed the Mindscape and see Sleepwalker face new threats from Marvel’s cosmic event. The first two issues of “Infinity Wars: Sleepwalker” will be in comic book stores in October. Until then, check out the full solicitation below:
