Just saw a TV commercial, of all things, for this: [Recurring Dream: Morpheus Returns In Gaiman’s ‘Sandman’ Prequel](http://www.npr.org/2013/10/31/241644273/recurring-dream-morpheus-returns-in-gaimans-sandman-prequel).

Anybody excited about this? I thought it was an pretty good series.

Wow, I’m very excited about this. If it were anyone else mining their old characters, I’d be suspicious. I think Gaiman has enough invested in his characters that I don’t think he’d do it unless he had something for them to say.

Great news! I’ve read the series a few times, and wondered about what happened before it started.

“All things have beginnings, and this is as good a place as any for that. And for all beginnings, there is an end.”

FTR, the first issue of Overture came out a couple weeks ago.

And it’s very good.

TV commercial is a bit odd, but DC _really_ doesn’t have much going for it right now, so they may be getting desperate.

The first issue is interesting, somewhat startling, and the artwork is good. Unfortunately, it’s bimonthly. ☹

Hate to tell you this, but issue #2 has been pushed back to February.
