Marvel has announced that J. Michael Straczynski has written Dream Police, a 38-page one-shot comic for its Icon line (see 'Marvel Launches New Imprint').  Art will be by Mike Deodato.  The book will street in June.

 

Straczynski describes the book as '...very noir, very 'Dragnet' meets 'Men in Black' meets 'Maltese Falcon.''  The concept is that when we fall asleep, we enter the dreamscape, which is inhabited by entities such as echoes, wisps, ethers, changelings, and so on.  The Dream Police step in when things go wrong.
