^ Sandman: Overture.
It was a 6-issue mini that was written by Gaiman, and ran from 2013-2015.

I definitely recommend it if you're a fan of the Sandman franchise. It is an excellent read... And the artwork is superb as well.

Glad you enjoyed it. 
Remember, Destiny knows 'the plan', which means he knows the story itself. Absolutely everything that can/will/does happen is in his Book -- that is his fundamental function as a character. Because of this all-encompassing knowledge, Destiny will always *seem* like he is borderline metatextual, but I don't think that is necessarily Gaiman's intent.
More than most other characters, Destiny is very much limited/confined to the concept of in-universe story... He cannot transcend the story, like a true metatextual being can.
