Raven # 33 (illustrated by Max Rugers)

In The Kindly Ones, hundreds of ravens gather in the dreaming with the expectation of war and death.

As Dream goes to challenge the Kindly Ones, the ravens raise their eyes to the storm and wait.

This is one of the ravens.

This raven appears in Sandman # 69, on page 8, in panel 3.

I love this portrait from Max. Aside from the fact that the raven looks awesome, I like the dark blue he used for the background. This works well to highlight the darkness of the raven, but it also works because of the storm raging in The Dreaming.
