Every summer, DC Comics has a big event series bringing together many of its heroes (and villains) for one crossover of a story, and this year it's a weekly Justice League event featuring the relatively new JL additions, Dreamer and Galaxy.

Justice League: Dream Girls will be written by Nicole Maines (Secret Six, Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story) and Jadzia Axelrod (Galaxy: The Prettiest Star), with a league of familiar DC artists including Nicola Scott, J. Bone, Brandt&Stein, Stephen Sadowski, Vincent Cecil, Mikel Janín, and Rosi Kämpe. 

"The story begins in the aftermath of Justice League Intergalactic Special, when Dreamer and Galaxy suddenly awaken on Themyscira, living out an idyllic fantasy as princess and champion of the Amazons," reads DC's description of the series. "Their confusion deepens when a mysterious stranger washes ashore insisting that Dreamer must leave the paradise she’s always dreamed of to save the world, and the dreamlike landscape around them begins to shift in ways that feel both familiar and deeply wrong."

While the "mysterious stranger"'s identity is not known as of yet, DC has confirmed that the big bad of Justice League: Dream Girls is the classic JL villain the Key, best known (to me at least) for his storyline in Grant Morrison and Howard Porter's classic '90s JLA run.

“What Nicole and I did with Dream Girls is place Galaxy and Dreamer in scenarios where that isn’t so: the Key offers them everything they’ve ever wanted, with no effort or difficulty. How does Galaxy handle a life without struggle?" says Axelrod. "Not well, it turns out."

Whereas the previous Dreamer and Galaxy stories have been in their own corners of the DC Comics Universe, the publisher is stressing that Justice League: Dream Girls will be at "the center" of DC storylines this summer.

“It’s a known fact I like to break my toys,” Maines jokes in a press release, referring to her previous Dreamer comics with DC. "This journey she’s been on started way back during the Beast World event and has been building up to this moment of reckoning for a long time. I’m excited because across Intergalactic Special and Dream Girls we can deliver a lot of the nuance and grit that we’re not always afforded the ability or space to explore with our queer characters.”

As an added bonus, each issue of Justice League: Dream Girls will feature 8-page tie-in stories by a who's who of DC creators expanding on the scope of the event. This includes:

• A Batwoman story by series writer Greg Rucka and Claire Roe in Justice League: Dream Girls #1
• A Green Lantern Corps sotry by Morgan Hampton and Steven Underwood in Justice League: Dream Girls #2
• A Poison Ivy story by G. Willow Wilson and Maria Llovet in in Justice League: Dream Girls #3
• A personal story by artist/writer Klaus Janson in Justice League: Dream Girls #4

Justice League: Dream Girls will be the centerpiece of the publisher's annual DC Pride event as well, coinciding with Pride Month — a time to celebrate LGBTQ+ people and the movement even more than we do usually. 

Justice League: Dream Girls #1 (of 4) is scheduled to be in your local comic shop on June 3, as well as online.
