THE DREAMING

Neil Gaiman’s seminal Vertigo Comics series, Sandman, was nothing short of a miracle in the graphic storytelling medium. Utilizing a mix of mythology from every corner of the world and classic melodrama, Sandman became a massive inspiration for any aspiring writer the book got its magical hooks into. The series was filled with complex characters, poetic reflections on life, death, and everything in between, and compelling mythos. Now, thirty years after the series originally launched, DC Comics is bringing the world of dreams back into the fold under the banner of The Sandman Universe. The titular one-shot focused on the supporting the characters of the original series reeling with the disappearance of Dream after the events of Dark Nights: Metal. The Dreaming #1 (which is one of four ongoing series in this universe) picks up shortly after the events of The Sandman Universe #1.
