The Sandman: Overture

Gaiman returns to the character that made his name to tell the tale of what happened to Morpheus, Lord of Dreams, one of the Endless, before issue #1 of Sandman.

With glorious artwork by J.H. Williams III this six issue mini-series is everything you'd want it to be. Magical, grand, doomed, tinged with madness. We have cameos by Dreams' sibling, the other members of The Endless, as well as characters, such as The Corinthian, who play a part later in the story of Sandman.

All in all a stunning return. Anyone who loves the original Sandman comics will enjoy this.
