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. The story is set before the first part of the Sandman saga, THE SANDMAN: PRELUDES AND NOCTURNES, and explains the series of events that lead ...

I’ve had a week off, and in that time, I’ve been reading. I thought I’d set the tone for 2016 by kicking off with reviews of the books I’ve read over the last week. The Old Magic of Christmas, Linda Raedisch. A book exploring myths, legends and folk practice from Germanic and Scandinavian countrie...

This was my first Gaiman novel and I have to say that I am not disappointed at all. I loved every single second of this psychedelic, poetic, (more words) trade. I'm definitely going t...
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 ...
But seriously, I have all the issues individually on my shelf at home. So why I need to wait to release my review of the TPB is kind of beyond me.
