Extra Issues – The Sandman Pt. 2 (1989)

Zack (CARDBOARD BOX FORM) and the Charlotte (Terrifying little girl form) continue our six part series on Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman and a selection of its spin-off titles. The Sandman is one of the most respected and enduring comics of the 90s, if not of all time, but does it live up to its lofty reputation? Join us as we delve into the land of dreams!

Comics covered in this episode:
– Seasons of Mist, A Game of You, and Fables and Reflections: Sandman # 21-40, 50 & The Sandman Special #1

Topics discussed:
– Do we even notice the lack of DC in these issues?
– How does Gaiman tie the concept of storytelling and truth to our everyday, lived experiences?
– Is Seasons of Mist the best arc of comics ever?

Our miniseries on Sandman will be broken into six episodes (all available on DC Universe Infinite Ultra):

– Brief Lives, Worlds’ End, The Kindly Ones, The Wake: Sandman #41-49, 51-75
– Sandman: Overture, The Sandman: Endless Nights, Death: The High Cost of Living, Death: The Time of Your Life, Sandman: The Dream Hunters (comic edition, not prose)
