Tower of Iron Will rated it 5 years ago
Sandman: Overture is a prequel to Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, but it can only be read as an afterward if you want to have any understanding of what is going on. It solves a few mysteries of the series, connects elements from multiple story lines, and introduces some all new mysteries that will pro...

THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by J. H. Williams III and Dave Stewart, is both the first and last story of Dream of the Endless.

My bank account will NOT love me in weeks to come, all the more since I am now also ...

I try not to get too excited about new Sandman stories. I mean, Endless Nights and The Dream Hunters were entertaining, but they weren't as good as the main series, to me. As a friend of mine once told me, you can't go back, creatively, no matter how hard you try. So I tried to manage my expectation...

A precursor of sorts to his original Sandaman series, though in telling the stories of Dream respect for time is more of a courtesy than necessity. Not truly an origin story, but a story of what came before Preludes & Nocturnes. Gaiman gives us a glimpse of Dream not just as an Endless, but as an ...
