Excellent news... I was hoping that he would follow up the success of Overture one day. 👆

Evidently the these are the first books being released:

-THE DREAMING
-HOUSE OF WHISPERS
-LUCIFER
-BOOKS OF MAGIC

While they will not be personally written by Gaiman, he is evidently still overseeing everything... Which is fantastic.

Can't wait. 👆

I cannot wait for these...

OMFG, it’s finally about to happen!

I’m geeking out like a screaming teenage girl at at a Beatles concert!

So the first issue of Sandman Universe was excellent.

Evidently Dream/Matthew has 'quit' his position, which is causing the Dreaming to collapse as a result:

It was also a great primer for the other characters that will be involved with this new line. 👆

Wow this was a great issue! Bring on September and October!

You mean Daniel, right? Matthew is the raven.

Lol, yes, Daniel... I went full-retard there. 👆

Interesting, so is it a reboot? Or they starting over beginning with Daniel this time? Or will this be a continuation of the originals?

It's a continuation of the originals.

There are 8 goddamn different covers of issue #1. I sometimes hate being a whore for variant covers.

So... Way back when Dream was Morpheus he gets imprisoned for a long time the dreaming falls apart... A little Later Lucifer quits Hell because... Then Morpheus gets torn apart and Daniel becomes Dream and wait for it Dream quits being Dream and the dreaming falls apart and it's not written by Gaiman... But he is overseeing it. Hmm... Will read and decide with an open mind.

Holy hot garbage! Seriously!? Is there anything else in continuity that I need to read first (besides the first 10 volumes)?

Fantastic read. 👆

I'd read Overture as well. It's a 6 issue Sandman mini that Gaiman wrote a few years ago.

Yeah, it fleshed out the timeline before Morpheus was captured well. I honestly don't want to see anyone but Gaiman writing these characters. Now I know almost three decades ago we had the short story prose book with the Tori Amos essay and loads of writers "Book of Dreams", if you read it, it should put you off too.

Just read 1st issue. Doesn't it imply heavily that the abomination of volume 2 is now non canon?
