Astro City: Life in the Big City #[nn]
"In Dreams" brings together the towering presence of Samaritan and the soaring spirit of Winged Victory in a quiet, poignant moment that cuts through the usual heroics. Written by Kurt Busiek and rendered with striking detail by Brent E. Anderson, the story explores identity, connection, and the weight of time—set against Alex Ross’s evocative cover, a masterclass in emotional gravity.

Samaritan and Winged Victory go on a date, but end up discussing business. Samaritan tells how he came to the present from the future to prevent the space shuttle disaster in 1986, but when he returned to his time, it had changed and he no longer existed there. Winged Victory grows frustrated with the differences between her and Samaritan, but they come to an understanding and seal it with a kiss before heading back to work.
