Pan’s response is a useful contrast. Even with this thing coming, he is looking for a way to recover his own position. He sees the possibility of regaining power where other people see something they need to stop. That tells us about Pan, but it also makes the wider crisis more difficult. An enormous shared threat doesn’t make everybody suddenly act in everybody else’s interests. Some characters cooperate. Others keep searching for an advantage. The Dream Eater Saga draws together characters from Neverland, Wonderland, Sinbad, Salem’s Daughter, and the other connected stories. The crossover works because those people arrive with their own histories. They aren’t a settled team that has already agreed on whom to trust. Surviving the same threat still means dealing with the people standing beside them.
